Nicole walked back slowly, her tears never ceasing.

Faith, seeing her distraught, tried to console her, “Don’t be sad, your mother is just angry right now. Once the young master is saved, everything will be fine.”

Nicole didn’t respond, only continued to cry. The stains on her shoes wouldn’t come off, no matter how hard she tried to rub them away.

Suddenly, Michelle called out to her from behind. “Nicole,”

Nicole wiped her tears and turned to face Michelle. She had always kept her distance from her cousin, who was roughly the same age.

From the time they were children, Michelle had always struck her as scheming. This time, Michelle didn’t greet her warmly either and had been rather cold when they met.

With a forced smile, Nicole replied, “Michelle.”

Michelle looked at her sympathetically and said, “Don’t be upset. This is not your fault.”

Nicole shook her head. “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.

Michelle sighed and said, “If things were different, I would have helped you when it came to Priscilla, but now… I’m just a discarded woman. No one listens to me anymore. It’s difficult for you, isn’t it? Priscilla has always been biased. The rumors outside already call you an old maid, someone who brings misfortune to her husband. =%=“And now, you dare to come back and ask for a match? The insults are unbearable. These days, no one comes to ask for your hand in marriage. If it were any other family, a family of similar status, -the door would be broken down with suitors. “But you, you just want to avoid trouble, and that’s

understandable. Why doesn’t Priscilla understand your heart? Why can’t she consider your feelings?”

Michelle’s words made Nicole’s face drain of color, her shock evident. She trembled and asked in a weak voice, “People are saying I bring misfortune to my husband?”

“People are ignorant and don’t know the truth. Don’t take it to heart,” Michelle said, trying to comfort her. “What you’ve gone through isn’t the worst. Look at me–I’ve been through worse and I’m still here. You just need to endure. Pain is a part of life. It’ll pass.”

Nicole sank into despair. “With rumors like this, no one will want to marry me.”
