Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 317

Everything was hard to talk about.

Just as Mila was struggling to find the words, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She quickly fished it out-it was Miranda calling. After signaling to Forrest, she answered.

"Mila, about that favor-you know, the thing you asked me to check on? I've got news."

"About Giselle-she and Lysander never really had an engagement. It was just something their families joked about when they were kids, nothing official. There was never a formal engagement party, and I haven't heard anything about them being together for real."

"But I can't say for sure. They both went abroad for school, right? Maybe when they're back home, something will happen between them."

No engagement. No real relationship.

A heavy weight lifted off Mila's chest, and for the first time in a while, her thoughts settled. If that was the case, then she wasn't exactly the villain here.
