The Wife He Forgot to Marry novel Chapter 169

Only then did Yulen and Willow realize that Winona had saved Roxana.

Realizing she had wrongly accused Winona, Willow looked a bit sheepish.

Roxana pulled out her phone. “Let’s exchange contact info. You saved my life, and I’m someone who repays her debts. If you ever need my help with anything, just ask.”

Winona was hesitant to get involved with the young princess. Who knew if her gratitude was genuine? For all she knew, Roxana was just like Ophelia, who was kind to her face but plotted behind her back. She made no move to get her own phone.

Roxana noticed her hesitation. “Are you still mad at me? I take back what I said in the garden. I’m sorry.”

Seeing Winona put on airs when the Goddard heiress was trying to befriend her, Willow grew annoyed. Didn't this girl have any manners?

Seeing Roxana’s insistence, Winona had no choice but to take out her phone and add her contact.

Once it was done, Roxana beamed. “Great! We’re friends now.”

Winona blinked. They exchanged numbers and now they were friends? Just like that?

“We won’t disturb your rest any longer, Ms. Jowett,” Stefan said to Winona. Then, he led Roxana out of the room.

Ophelia, who had been standing by the door, watched them go. Seeing that Winona and Roxana had somehow become friends, she bit her lip in frustration.

Roxana felt a little awkward when she saw Ophelia. She had intended to help her drive away a rival, but now she was friends with that same rival. It felt like a small betrayal.

But then she rationalized it. Her brother was popular; it was normal for women to like him. She couldn't possibly hate all of them. Being friends with Ophelia didn’t mean she couldn't also be friends with Winona.

Back in the guest room, Yulen asked Winona, “Are you feeling unwell anywhere else? Should I take you to the hospital?”

Willow overheard and interjected disapprovingly, “You’re not going anywhere. Many of tonight’s guests are important families with close ties to the Powells. If you don’t take this opportunity to network, you won’t get another chance.”
