The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Frank was driving Lubor's luxury sedan, and the surprise of finding out that Silverbell remembered what had happened at Sage Lake Sect left him utterly embarrassed.

Silverbell remained silent as she rode shotgun, smiling faintly and nonchalantly as she twirled her hair around her finger.

"I know you love Helen and Vicky-I can see that much," she said softly. "That's why I have no intention of getting involved from the start. I've also tried to keep myself preoccupied with Martial Alliance business so that I don't have time for silly thoughts, but every time I see you..."

She trailed off, lowering her head as she murmured, "My mind would always become a mess, even after I painstakingly composed myself.

"But don't worry, Frank. I'll do my best to stay away, so you don't have to worry, but you must be more careful from now on.

Frank listened as Silverbell continued at length about anything and everything, feeling a mess of emotions.
