When Andrea returned to the ballroom, Seraphina caught sight of her right away and beckoned her over with a casual wave of her hand.

Andrea made her way over to Seraphina at a brisk pace. Before Seraphina could voice the question on her mind, she noticed Andrea’s pallor and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? You look a little off.”

“It’s nothing,” Andrea replied tersely, then added, “Bowen’s been found.”

Seraphina wasn’t surprised. “So, the wedding’s going on as planned, right?”

Andrea nodded.

Seraphina couldn’t help but let out a wry chuckle before looking back at Andrea. “If the wedding is going on as usual, why the long face? Don’t tell me you were anticipating Bowen to stir something up?”

At that, Andrea playfully pinched Seraphina’s waist. “Stop talking nonsense!”

The two shared a laugh, and once they’d regained their composure, Andrea sighed, “You know, I did think that if Bowen had bolted for love, I might have actually admired him for it.”

Seraphina gave her a knowing look. “That would only make you more certain that true love exists in this world, right?”

Andrea didn’t respond but didn’t deny it either.

Seraphina then put an arm around her, “You don’t need to pin your hopes on Bowen. He’s not the type. Maybe if you set your sights on someone else, you won’t be let down.”

At that, Andrea only chuckled and then said, “I’m not listening to your wild stories. Go mingle; I need to go greet the other guests.”
