Charlotte, “...You are overthinking.”
“Am I? I'm not right? He is kind to you, but you're married, he can’t do that to you.”
Hearing that, Charlotte looked toward Yanis. Unconvinced Yanis stared her, “What? Do you think I'm wrong?”
Charlotte smiled and shook her head. “No, I think you are right, just like I think.”
Suddenly, she thought of something else. Then she asked, “What if...this couple has no affection. And this man falls in love with another woman. Do you think the woman should give up?”
“Wow, why? You have been married, why does he do that? Why didn’t he do that before marriage? It is disgusting to do that after marriage. Even if there is no affection, it is not reasonable.”
Yanis said in all seriousness. Then she seemed to perceive something and turned to stare at Charlotte, which made Charlotte feel creepy, “What are you doing?”
She grabbed Charlotte's shoulder and said, “What do you mean by that? What do you mean by giving up? What do you mean by falling in love? Do you mean Kennedy and Diana?”
It happened, and Charlotte didn't have to deny it. She smiled faintly and nodded, “You are really smart, Yanis.”
“Damn it!” Yanis was angry and scolded, “Diana that little bitch, I told you that she was not a good person. You did not believe me at that time and got angry with me. Now you know it?”
Charlotte, “...There is no unilateral right or wrong. As long as one of them said no, they would be together.”
Yanis, “So you are sure they are together?”
Charlotte paused, “Sort of.”
“What do you mean? Yanis was angry, “Did you ask Kennedy? Did he tell you he loves Diana?”
“...Of course not!”
“Do you have a brain problem? Do you make it up on your own?”
“But...” Charlotte looked at Yanis and told her about the pair of earrings.
Hearing that, Yanis was angry, but soon calmed down, and said to Charlotte.
“Diana had the earrings? And Mr. Kennedy had lost it?”
Charlotte nodded.
“So you think Mr. Kennedy gave her the earrings?”
“He did not?”
“Love makes people blind. Maybe Diana stole it?”
Yanis reminded her.
“How come?” Charlotte couldn't believe it.
“I met her before, and the eyes Mr. Kennedy looked at you was like the way my father looks at my mother. Charlotte, unless Mr. Kennedy wanted to have you both, or he won't do such a thing. Besides, I don’t think you should believe Diana again. No matter if Mr. Kennedy gave her the earrings or she stole them, she is not qualified to be your friend. If she really regards you as a good friend, she won't accept that?”
The words were ringing in her ears.
