When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028 In Need Of Money

 

Hannah rolled her eyes dramatically, then wailed, "You're not serious, are you? My wedding's happening in a couple of days! What if I can't fit into my dress? I can't possibly ask his mother to alter it on the spot, can I? The dress was custom-made and embroidered by hand! It cost an absolute fortune! I'm on the verge of moving out. I have to lose weight, or there'll definitely be a problem.”

Hannah's noisy complaining could not hide the traces of a smile hovering over her lips. I grinned at that. If a little weight gain was all that Hannah had to worry about for the rest of her marriage, she'd have many blissful years ahead of her.

Hannah's endless rambling was finally put to a stop by an incoming call from Chandler. She answered the phone only to redirect her flood of words into the mouthpiece. On the other end, Chandler just absorbed everything patiently.

I suddenly found myself very much an outsider in this romantic display of affection. I surveyed around the cafe casually. Abruptly, a familiar face popped up within the field of my vision. I froze.

I was slightly myopic, so I couldn't be certain that the figure was indeed who I'd taken it to be. I squinted as hard as I could in that direction, but to no avail. I thus reached out and tugged on Hannah's sleeve, gesturing subtly in that direction.

Hannah paused and looked over. She was similarly taken aback. Hannah quickly mumbled into the phone, “Chandler, I just saw someone I know. I'm hanging up!”

After she'd ended the call, Hannah hauled me out of the cafe. When we'd gotten outside, she immediately shrieked, “That woman was Rebecca, wasn't she?”
