Bianca's eyes sparkled. "That's wonderful! I always said that whoever managed to win Ms. Hayes over would be incredibly lucky. When Leon first broke off our engagement, I thought it was because of her, so I didn't even have the courage to try and fight for him at first."
She paused, her voice dropping a fraction. "I couldn't compare to Ms. Hayes at all. If Leon had left me for her, I would have accepted defeat gracefully."
"And then what happened?" Ferris tightened his hold around my waist.
As if he genuinely thought someone was about to steal me away.
Why was he acting so childish lately?
I pressed my lips together and stayed quiet.
"Then I found out that Ms. Hayes never agreed to be with him! Plus, around that time, Caspian was also pursuing her, and he was super impressive. The real reason Leon broke things off with me was because of Yara." Bianca opened the floodgates, chattering away animatedly.
"The moment I found out, I decided I was going to fight Yara for Leon. But before I even had the chance to do anything, Yara exposed her true colors all on her own! I seized the opportunity and went straight to Leon. At first, he kept avoiding me, but eventually, I wore him down, and he said yes!"
"This time, I demanded we get engaged immediately. So now we're officially engaged! Look at our rings!" Bianca proudly held up her hand to show off the sparkling diamond.
She then yanked Leon's hand up. "Leon, hurry, show them yours too!"
She really didn't have a filter, spilling the entire backstory in just a few breathless sentences.
I couldn't help but like her. "That's lovely. You were so brave in chasing what you wanted, Ms. Whitlock. Dr. Lennox, you're a lucky man to have won such a wonderful girl. I wish you both all the best."
"Sorry about that, Selena. This girl just talks too fast. She wants to recite this entire story to every single person she knows." Leon looked a bit embarrassed, shooting Bianca a mild glare. "My ears are getting calluses from hearing it."
I smiled. That was definitely a sweet kind of annoyance.
But my smile quickly vanished when Ferris spoke up, a dangerous smirk playing on his lips. "Ms. Whitlock, did you just say that Caspian was super impressive?"

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
