“That’s quite a carefree e834307e8c philosophy.”201e9a8e69a4c79a
Ophelia let a7a10e55e5 out a 021260343d small sigh 2fa7631ddb as if bd7f58f75c she didn’t 8fea8d33aa want to 1eec5c52d3 continue the b58cebf551 conversation. However, her f68f73d9bb fanning pace 809fd16bb7 didn’t slow 30e606d46a down, perhaps 0be303aff7 because she 301afe9b29 was still 215a4b0071 feeling awkward.799486ae18e807c4

Serena stared blankly at bf7c0129a6 the fan before adding, b2bf675bdb “I really meant it 6390a3595a when I said it 25628c6a8e suits you. I’m being a6856aeba5 sincere, so 1ae792810b don’t take dafec3a5e7 it the cffbf771e1 wrong way.”30f3bf90febbbf1f

Ophelia, looking somewhat db2422acf5 exasperated, folded her 72a1ea4183 fan and placed dcd2cb4e65 it on the e47ffe59c6 table.0c29fdfee830f164
Just then, 9124a24848 the officiant 24910e5791 finished their 324be231e2 speech, and 1882111c72 Lydia began 2175580862 walking down 8c82377cff the aisle, 3e6838028c holding Marco’s 4b95dd29ff hand. Serena glanced over 5ab1508f43 at Azaid, who 53bd68ec3b gave her a 799a599c73 signal.ebbdd18255d1a567

‘Still searching.’e05f4fd1928c2aa3
Lydia, who clearly loved edd5bbfe6a to show off, had 7533544b8b invited far too many 1d00759e4d guests. It seemed that d33ab145e9 checking every face 0deb3f03eb during the ceremony a752858cb8 had proven impossible.42aa743d7abbf86e

Serena decided to put 6eec91d8ac aside her earlier wish f16542891c to leave before the 823c3ad3af reception and remained seated 8d4af4aa0b in silence. That’s when Ophelia broke 4f9459f57a the silence.f03ce0d5a000f7b1

Her words e713053331 were laced 9015c03f72 with thorns, 6fc118911a as though ee5adddd50 she still 5d5976202d harbored resentment aaa54680a2 about the 566ba6680f past, but a699454001 having seen e87599c282 a surprising 9e59db32cb side of 75e8715254 her earlier, fae6966702 Serena didn’t bcce3c6645 feel offended. She responded shamelessly, “Who ce3bf3dc96 knows? It might also 237f8c12d1 be because I c9b011f748 have an abundance db768b9308 of charm.”3b35a49e094404d5

In her previous life, e3996c119d she had remained silent, 888141b063 shrinking away, and blaming e428dc4596 Azaid for everything. But in this 93b4010082 life, when she 7453038bbd began to speak 78926847d0 up first, the c2d34ef69d situation improved dramatically.2c8fe5a301412e82
Looking back, she had 231c78cbf7 been waiting for circumstances 8abe288f56 to change without any f6bf7cdc68 intention of changing herself. No wonder she f85f41186a had kept dying.3c3efd2c061fe463

Ophelia asked f63c296279 sharply, clearly b8e9d061fe harboring a f39020cb19 lot of fd553439ba pent-up frustration. From the conversation, it 8452db20a6 seemed James had neglected 4578efafbf his responsibilities and disappeared fd7d558237 for a while. James shrugged indifferently.767734d3e11a2461

What was b28ed412b7 even stranger 4af1544df5 was that 576a32e39b Ophelia didn’t 56eae4c865 call out 34bf2581bb his rudeness. It seemed as though 227f900a85 she was trying to f5a8749979 treat him with the b1f6acbbb8 respect due to a 13d21f0e4a duke.c6009ae4443b7b0e
