The Sun Sets on Love novel Chapter 6

Jenson stiffened, as if he'd just remembered Estella was there. He opened his mouth to explain.

But before he could, Estella spoke in a calm voice, "I'm a friend of theirs."

As she said that, Jenson glanced at her with a complicated expression. But with Emily right beside him, he ultimately chose to stay silent.

The others found her response a little odd, but no one pressed the issue. Instead, they ushered her in to take a seat.

Since they were old friends catching up after years apart, there was no end to the conversation. They talked about everything and anything.

Jenson chatted along while thoughtfully picking out dishes for Emily, even taking the time to remove the cilantro she didn't like.

Meanwhile, Estella sat quietly, playing her role as a "friend".

Halfway through the dinner, she stepped out to use the restroom.

On her way back, just as she reached the private room's door, she overheard someone inside ask, "Be honest, Jenson. After all these years that Emily was abroad, did you ever fall for anyone else?"

The room fell silent. Everyone was waiting for his answer.

Sitting right next to him, Emily was the first to speak to smooth things over.

"Alright, stop asking that kind of question. I've been gone for so many years. It would be completely normal if he fell for someone else."

Though her words seemed understanding, her eyes glistened with unshed tears. The smile on her face looked forced as well.

Jenson's chest tightened at the sight. After a sigh, he lowered his voice and reassured her, "No. I never fell for anyone else."
