It was a rare quiet day, and with Madame having had a poor appetite all summer, Cecilia planned to leave work half a day early to go to the market and pick up some fresh ingredients to make her medicinal dishes. Just as she had clocked out, her phone rang—it was Fiona.
"Hello?"
"Sis, are you free to come to school now? I have something to tell you."
"School?"
By the time Cecilia arrived, classes were just letting out. She parked under Fiona's college building and looked up, catching sight of Fiona and Terry walking out arm in arm, their closeness giving off a very intimate impression…
A bad premonition stirred in her chest.
Fiona smiled brightly and tapped on Cecilia's car window. Cecilia got in with them. Ever since returning to the country, this was the first time Cecilia had seen Fiona so carefree and laughing so openly.
"I have something to tell you… Terry and I are planning to get married."
The news caught Cecilia completely off guard.
