Cali was startled into silence again.
Ivy didn't notice it, and instead kept talking. "I'm probably overthinking it. I heard Sean was hired specifically to protect Princess Nina's two kids, so it makes sense he's nice to her.
Princess Nina and Count Nangong are very much in love. Sometimes it seems they can't keep their hands off each other., Man, I'm jealous of them..."
Jealous was an understatement. She was green with envy.
Ivy decided she'd been yammering too long, so her voice trailed off and she decided to be quiet for a bit.
Cali suddenly asked, "Do they really love each other?"
"Of course they do." Ivy didn't want to admit it, but she had to.
Cali remembered something someone posted following Vicente's press conference. She thought it was ridiculous when she saw it, so she didn't spend too much time on it. Someone claimed that Nina and Vicente were pretending to be in love.
She posted a comment telling him he was a disrespectful idiot.
Now that she thought about it, maybe the guy was right.
Vicente was the one being nice to Nina, while Nina didn't show much affection toward Vicente.
Cali thought to herself,
'What should I do?
Should I tell Count Nangong?'
Vicente had helped her a lot. Nina was also good to her.
"What should I do? Why is life so hard?”
Cali grabbed her hair with both hands and rubbed it. She still couldn't make up her mind.
Ivy was startled by her sudden madness. She stood up and started giving her some space, in case she became dangerous.
"Cali, what's wrong with you?"
Cali threw the pillow to the floor, covered her face with her hair, and fell onto the bed like a cadaver.
"I'm fine, Ivy. Don't worry about me. I just need some sleep, I think. Grab some dinner."
"Need me to bring you anything? A plate, maybe?"
Cali buried her face in the pillow and said in a low voice, "No."
"All right. I'm headed out tonight. Call me if you need me."
"Okay."
Ivy took out her precious bag and the new dress she bought, dressed up and went out.
She finally had two days off, so she swore to relax as much as she could. She had the same chores every day in the castle, which was quite annoying.
When Ivy stepped out of the castle, she almost bumped into Nina and Vicente. If they knew she wasn't taking good care of Cali, she'd be in trouble.
Ivy hid behind a bush. She didn't emerge until the car drove away.
Thy were headed for Scher Mountain.
On the way, Vicente kept telling Nina, "Let me do the talking. I tried my best to convince your mom you were on a boat trip."
"Think Mom will buy it?" Nina asked.
Vicente didn't know what to say for a moment. "She seemed to. Don't know if she still will when she sees you."
Nina was calm. "It doesn't matter. It'll be for the best if she doesn't bring it up. But if she does, I'll tell the truth. Not even my brother knows I've been to Lexingport City."
"Fortunately, Leon doesn't know anything about it," Vicente said. "I heard her calling Leon, and I was shaking. Fortunately, he really doesn't know."
Nina said, "John stopped me from telling Leon."
Vicente praised him. "Smart man."
By the time they arrived at Scher Mountain, it was dinnertime. The family sat at the table. When their eyes met, the truth would definitely come out.
"You went to Lexingport City, didn't you?" Anne looked into her daughter's eyes.
