Chapter 242 Watching him like that, a swirl of indescribable emotions bubbled inside me. Suddenly, I got the meaning of that saying, "Love declared too late is of no worth." I pursed my lips. "Believe it or not, it's up to you." With those words, I didn't give him another glance. I just walked away. I wasn't sure if it was because I didn't want to see him or was afraid to. What he thought ofdidn't matter anymore. I just wanted to live my life well. That was all.

But alas, I forgot many things weren't up to us.

As I reached the hotel lobby, I bumped straight into Susan. Oddly enough, I didn't have much affection for Dorothy, but her parents somehow felt familiar, even endearing..

When our eyes met, I offered Susan a smile, but her expression was unreadable, and she gavea once-over more openly than she had earlier at the party.

I smiled politely. "Mrs. Myers, Ill be on my way." Her demeanor softened, but her gaze remained distant. “We've met already. You can callSusan." My nails dug into my palm, makinguneasy, but I quickly responded, “Okay then. Susan, I really must be going..." Susan insisted, "Ms. Webster, let's talk for a moment. It won't take long." "Okay." For sreason, I found it hard to refuse her.

I had a feeling she was here to speak on Dorothy's behalf. I could guess what she would say.

I should've coldly refused and walked away, but I somehow wanted to hear her out.

Susan's initially distant gaze softened. "I've heard you and Bryant have been dragging your feet, not yet filing for divorce?" It was just as I expected. "Yes..." Before I could finish, Susan interrupted with a sigh, "Actually, I cto apologize on behalf of Dorothy. We spoiled her too much. She always wants what she wants. Please don't take it to heart." I shook my head. "It's okay. Bryant and I were heading for divorce with or without Ms. Myers' apology." "That's good to hear." Susan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. As I was about to leave, she quickly said, "You and Gregory are just friends, right?" I answered, "Yes." She looked at me, probing. "Do you have any thoughts about Greg?" I wasn't sure what she was getting at, so I was honest. "No. Gregory and I have only met a few times. We're hardly even acquaintances. Besides, I've just gone through a divorce. I'm not in the mindset to think about these things."

"It's good you think that way." She looked atcontentedly, advising, "Greg's parents, as easygoing as they are and as much as they spoil him, would never allow him to marry a woman who's been married before. You shouldn't harbor such thoughts to avoid suffering later." A a woman who's been married before... Had anyone else said it, I wouldn't have cared, but coming from Susan, it felt like a sting.

My eyes suddenly got red. I looked down, hiding the unexplainable sense of grievance that welled up and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. I know my place." Susan said again, "As for your divorce with Bryant, it's best to finalize it sooner to avoid rumors about Dorothy."

Someone entered, bringing a gust of cold wind as the automatic doors opened and closed. Susan wrapped ve her shaw fighter around. her, her words a mix of promise and charity, "If you ever need help from the Myers family, just ask." "Thanks, but no need!" I took a deep breath and smiled lightly. "The Myers family is too prestigious forto bother." With that, I walked straight out of the hotel. But after a few steps, my vision blurred as tears welled up in my eyes.
