Chapter: 1623

Juliet's gaze fell on a small hair tie around his wrist. Its delicate pendant unmistakably resembled Laney's style. A knowing smile spread across Juliet's face.

Juliet said with a sly tone, “You know, when we talked last, you said you needed a few months to figure things out with Laney before moving forward with me. I thought you meant you'd put some distance between you two, but now..." She let out a soft laugh. “It seems Like you've only grown closer. Tell me, Cliff-when we get married, who do you think will be more heartbroken? You or her?"

Without another word, he strode inside, his dismissiveness hanging in the air.

Juliet, ever practical, simply followed his lead, though her mind buzzed with questions.
