“Marshall, tell us about it.”
Vermont rested his chin on one hand and asked curiously, “How did you meet Miss Thompson?’
His question caught the attention of everyone else as they looked over unanimously.
Marshall was the one who had been single for the longest time among them. It was just surprising that he suddenly brought a female partner to attend his friend’s wedding.
Marshall paused and looked at Stella.
They had not made up an answer to this question.
Stella looked very calm as she took a sip of her juice before she said, ’ Through a dating app.’
“Pfft-” Felicity almost spat out the water in her mouth.
She gazed at the woman sitting opposite her. ‘The way she talks so quirkily sounds exactly like Stella.’
When somebody asked her how she met her husband at the previous class reunion she attended, she would always say with a straight face, ‘On a dating website.”
Vermont then noticed something.
“Miss Thompson, aren’t you working at Xenus High School? It’s pretty far away from Marshall’s office, right? About 20 miles?”
Stella remained calm. She replied, “I used to stay around there for some time because I had another law firm there to handle my divorce case.”
Everyone was shocked!
But, Marshall kept quiet.
He thought that Stella would be very restrained around all these people that she knew, yet she acted like she finally found her stage to shine and felt completely free to be herself.
“D-Divorce case?”
Vermont could not believe it. ‘What’s going on with the Moore family? How could Marshall dare to date a divorced woman?1
Stella replied calmly, ‘It’s not me. It was someone in my family.”
