All eyes fell on Caroline, who was dressed in a magnificent gown, and whispered among themselves.
“The clothes were not as good as new, and the person was not as good as before. It seems that Mr. Reid finally chose his first love,”
“Poor ex–girlfriend, slse probably didn’t even know the reason for the breakup.”
