Wrenna noticed Hailey's strange expression.
She felt doubtful and worried about Hailey at the same time.
After all, Hailey had always been full of smiles ever since Wrenna knew her, except for the time when Colton went to look for her.
However, a look of intense hatred was burning in her eyes this time.
Still distracted, Hailey mumbled, “Nothing. I just saw someone earlier. Let's go and eat!”
Since Hailey did not elaborate, Wrenna did not ask further. They drove to a restaurant that Hailey had made a reservation at and ate together.
During the meal, Hailey had already resumed her normal state. She discussed with Wrenna about the live broadcast and how to help others after it became popular. Wrenna gave very good suggestions for that.
As such, Hailey completely forgot about her previous encounter with Stella.
However, after she sent Wrenna back to school, she could not help but ask, “Wren, Colton told me that you're Damian's wife. Do you know who Stella is?”
Wrenna nodded. “Yeah. Do you know her too, Hailey?”
She smirked coldly. “Of course. Wren, Stella's a manipulative and hypocritical woman. You mustn't be tricked by her.”
Hailey's remark on Stella completely matched Wrenna's opinions on her.
Hence, Wrenna immediately nodded and gazed at Hailey firmly to show her agreement.
“Yeah, Hailey! You're right. I think that Stella's like that as well... She's simply too despicable!”
“Did she do anything to you?”
Wrenna told Hailey everything that Stella had done.
In the past, she had no one to confide in. But, she could now spill everything to Hailey without any inhibitions, not even needing to conceal the fact that Stella had a miscarriage. Feeling the pressure being lifted off her, she told Hailey everything.
After a moment of contemplation, Hailey told her, “Wren, Stella did all those because she wants to sow discord between you and Damian. As long as you are honest with him and tell him everything, there won't be any problems.”
“That's what I think too. I will never leave Damian.”
“Although Colton has also found out about Stella's miscarriage, you must still be doubtful about it.”
“Is it possible that she faked it? That doesn't seem quite likely. Did she already think of faking her miscarriage back then? Can't we find out if it's a lie by checking the hospital records? She can't possibly think so far ahead, right?”
Hailey shook her head. “It might not be false. However, from my understanding of Stella, she will never have a miscarriage if she had Damian's child. Instead, she will marry him because of it. That's her usual way of doing things. Her miscarriage, regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental, doesn't really suit her style. There must be a secret behind this. You mustn't be convinced by her, okay? She claims that she loves Damian, but in my opinion, her love always has an ulterior motive. She definitely doesn't love him as much as you do.”
“Wow... Hailey, you understand Stella so well. Did you know her previously?”
Hailey paled. A while passed before she said, “I used to be friends with her, but I've been harmed by her. Since then, I realized how vicious and selfish she is. That's why I will never believe that she'll actually love a man genuinely. The person she loves the most is herself.”
Wrenna did not dare to ask Hailey how she had been harmed. However, looking at Hailey's expression, it was probably a very devastating experience.
As Wrenna did not know how to console Hailey, she hugged her and gave her an encouraging smile.
“Let bygones be bygones, Hailey. We must be wary and strive for a chance to take revenge on this woman in the future. A bad person like her will never have a good ending.”
Hailey laughed too. “Yeah, she will never end up well.”
Wrenna returned home early to prepare dinner.
When Damian returned and she saw how satisfied he was with her cooking, she felt extremely happy.
After eating, they took a stroll together and Wrenna suddenly mentioned Hailey.
“Damian, do you know Hailey?”
“Hailey?”
Damian thought about it. “Yeah, we haven't been in contact for ages. Do you know her?”
“Yeah, I got to know her through a coincidence. She's an extremely impressive sewist. I even helped to promote her!”
Damian mumbled an acknowledgement, looking like he was immersed in his memories.
“Damian, how did you know Hailey?”
He fell silent for a while before replying honestly, “She was Stella's friend.”
“Oh.”
Wrenna regretted saying it. Although she had already expected his answer, she still felt unhappy after hearing it from him.
Noticing her gloomy mood, Damian turned around and hugged her.
“It's all in the past, Wren.”
“I know.”
Wrenna leaned her forehead against Damian's chest and mumbled softly without lifting her head.
“I know... I didn't say anything either.”
If she doesn't say anything, it means that she feels really upset, right?
“You...”
