Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 829

Bella stopped talking and smiled faintly without delving any further.

I didn't press her.

After all, Bella was someone with impeccable discretion. I understood her, even if she chose not to say certain things out loud.

It seemed that Trinity's ruthless move this time had a purpose.

After chatting for a while, we said goodbye and left to head back to the office.

As we reached the entrance, we bumped into Oliver, who was on his way in.

He immediately froze, his gaze fixated on Lauren's face.

I quickly greeted him, but he only responded with a nonchalant hum. His attention was fully on Lauren.

"Lauren..." he murmured, his eyes filled with longing.

I glanced at Lauren discreetly. Unfazed, she nodded slightly at Oliver. "Sorry, Mr. Oliver. We're in a bit of a hurry."

With that, she calmly led the way outside, showing no hint of hesitation.

I admired Lauren for that. She remained indifferent as if they had never met. As an outsider, I couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

On the way back to the office, Lauren didn't bring up Oliver at all. Instead, she asked, "Do you think what’s going on with Trinity is some kind of trap?"

I shook my head resignedly. "It's hard to say at the moment, but I'm worried about Ivanna."

"True. Those two were living a carefree life in Bourdamun a while ago. I thought they would be able to have a peaceful life," Lauren sighed.

"Spend some time with Ivanna," I advised Lauren. "She's been upset since Jared left without saying goodbye."

Back at the office, I called Grayson to inquire about the situation on his end. Grayson told me that Jared had already left Jitador and was also planning to return to Foswood.

Later, after I gave birth to Ava, my schedule became even tighter.

Over time, we grew apart from our classmates.

When Ivanna and I walked into the private room, we realized we were a little late.

Michelle, who appeared to be the host, stood up and waved. "Oh, Chloe! You're such a busy woman. The whole group of us had to wait for you. Aren't you ashamed? You're here too, Ivanna. Excellent! Long time no see!"

Michelle began blaming us as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Late? Didn't you tell Chlo it was at seven?" Ivanna retorted. "We even got here early."

Michelle blushed and busied herself with arranging our seats while greeting everyone. "Take a look around. Recognize anyone? This is Chloe, our former campus belle and Matthew's ex-wife, who we were just talking about. Quite a small world, isn't it?"

Her words immediately drew everyone's attention to me.
