Sure .

Austin came from the Herrera family and had money , but his monthly allowance wasnt as high as people would think .

He spent a lot of it , especially when he had to help out Rosemary , which meant there was not much left over for me .

I In relationships , a guys money often reflects his feelings .

It took me six long years to really understand what I was caught up in Tease tell me youre not thinking about getting back together with Austin , Bonnie said , looking worried as she held my hand during my moms checkup I thought for a second and replied , Aunt Bonnie , you dont back me on this Not a chance Bonnie rolled her eyes at me , gripping my hand tightly .

Laurel , listen to me .

You need to take a step back from Austin .

You never know how many times a guy might hurt a woman Right now , hes just trying to sweet talk you back into his good graces .

Thats why he helped with your moms hospital transfer .

As I stared at Bonnie , who looked like she was ready to explode , I couldnt help but chuckle .

Aunt Bonnie , I handled the transfer myself , and Austin had nothing to do with it .

Trust me .

Im definitely not marrying him .

She sighed deeply , then her eyes widened in disbelief .

But where did you get all that cash for your mom ? Did Austin give it to you ? Sope , I sold the house in Newton City Isnt that house Austin didnt buy it for me .

I bought it myself .

Bonnie looked shocked , and I noticed her eyes starting to well up .

She smiled at me , her eyes full of concem .

By the way , I changed Austins number in my moms phone .

All random numbers will be blocked , so please dont let my mom reach out to them later .

I said .

Dont worry , Ive got your mom covered .

You might manage to hide this for now , but it wont last , Bonnie assured me .

Seeing the worry on her face , I gave her shoulder a reassuring pat .

After a moments hesitation , I asked , So , hows your heart ? y what you need to say , Bonnie rolled her eyes es playfully , Just say I glanced around , discreetly pulled out my marriage license , and showed her a photo of Alex on my phone .

Her eyes wein wirde as the picked it up , laughing lightly .

Wow , I didnt expect to see this .

You cant really tell the difference between fake and real license these days , can you ? But seriously , the photo looks so off did you just grab a celeb pic or something ! Your moms not going to buy it .

I could help but smirk .

You think that guy is better looking than me ? Bonnie shot me a lingering glance that spoke volumes 1/2 Chapter is Jan then .

Figon molders fried request on WhatsApp .

1 clicked on the avatar , and of course , it was Austin again , like a ghnut haunting my 124 I was weighing whether or not to add hire .

I got a call from Rosemary , whom I hadnt yet blocked I quickly put her on speakerphone .

Laurel , Austin asked me to check if youve booked a hotel yet I want a five star place 1 can t do anything less the said , her none a mix of urgency and entitlement so he wants you to take care of her first , then head to the auction the day after tomorrow before you guys grab the license No nah she continued .

Listening to her tone .

I noticed Bonnie , who was standing nearly , staring at me with wide eyes , clearly confused .

Got it , I replied cunting the call without hesitation .

Wait Rosemary came to Nifelheim City thought you and Austin were done .

Why is she still after you ? Bonnie said , a frown forming on her face .

Aunt Bonnir .

Eve got my own stuff to handle .

Dont worry , things will get sorted out , I assured her She nodded , Okay , but keep me posted if anything comes up .

As I walked out of the hospital , a sleek red Maserati screeched to a halt right in front of me .

The next moment .

Angela stepped out , looking stunning in a designer outfit , her makeup flawless and her hair styled in soft curls .

Without caring about the onlookers , she wrapped me in a hug .

Laurel ! Ive missed you so much ! Can you believe its been 260 days since we last saw each other ? Angela , weve been video chatting almost every day .

How can you say that ? Its so cringy ! I laughed .

She rabed an eyebrow .

Whats wrong ong with that ? Austin said those sweet words to you all the time , and he didnt love you half as much as I do She glanced at me , trying to read my expression .

So , Laurel , are you really done with him for good ? she asked .

I narrowed my eyes and answered seriously , How can you say Ive moved on after six years ? I should probably go crawling back , begging for forgiveness for ever being jealous of Rosemary .

I should just ignore whatever he does from now on , if he brings a new girl homei Angela jumped back , looking appalled Laurel , have you lost it ! him for not marrying me after six years , just so I can reclaim my life from that jerk .

I chuckled .

Then why ask me ? I should be thanking h Right on .

Angela said , wrapping her arm around me again , her curiosity piqued .

So , why did you want me to plan the reunion ? Its been ages since weve all hung out together from high school , I replied , grinning .

But honestly , the main reason is to take down Austin and Rosemary .

Angela looked surprised .

Wait , did Austin really bring that bitch here !
