Chapter 862
Jenny said, "Rowan, I was wrong before."
Jenny forced back the tears in her eyes.
Rowan was momentarily taken aback. He looked at Jenny thoughtfully and asked, "What exactly do you want to tell me?"
Jenny hadn't expected such a cold response from Rowan, especially since his attitude was colder than ever before. The contrast between his past and present demeanor was stark.
She felt a pang of sadness. "Rowan, must we be this way? Why are you so cold to me? We've known each other for so long, and you never used to be like this.
"You must have heard about my accident by now. Why haven't you visited me in the hospital?"
Rowan frowned and said, "Have you forgotten what I said before? And isn't there someone else around you?"
He used to feel deeply sympathetic when Jenny cried. But now, for some reason, he found himself growing impatient.
Jenny wasn't naïve and could sense Rowan's impatience.
There was no one around her. She wondered if someone was spreading rumors in front of Rowan. It must
be his fiancée, Minerva.
"Who told you that? Why would you think that? You know I have feelings for Joe. How could I be with someone else?
"But now I've realized that Joe and I can never be together. He's already married, and I should let him go, Jenny said, her tears flowing again.
Her distress was palpable and genuinely heartbreaking.

Jenny's expression changed dramatically. Rowan saw someone.
That day, Edwin had indeed gone to her balcony. Her apartment was high up, so even if Rowan had seen someone, he probably wouldn't have seen Edwin's face.
Jenny clenched her fists and said nervously, "That person is my uncle. He came to Jipsburg to borrow money from me. You know my real background. My family is poor and lives in a rural area. I didn't want them to get entangled with me while also dragging you into it
Rowan's expression softened as he listened to Jenny.
Jenny understood Rowan well. She knew he had always had feelings for her. As long as she lowered her guard, there was still a chance for them. "Rowan, I've finally come to realize that you are the one who has always been there for me. I've also realized that my feelings for you go beyond friendship...
Vera had no intention of returning to the café. After browsing the mall, she decided to leave.
This mall wasn't a place she typically shopped at, but it was close to the Gardner Group.
After leaving the mall, she stood before the door and gazed at the Gardner Group. Skylar worked in that building.
Moreover, it was said that because
of the high regard of Alexander toward Skylar, she held a prominent position within the entire team. The antiques she restored had almost no flaws.
The more Vera became aware of Skylar's abilities, the more she felt as though she was being overshadowed.
Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice came behind her.
"When you get back, let me host a welcome dinner for you. How about fondue?"
Vera turned to see Skylar and Natalie walking out of the mall, chatting and laughing.

allowed to make any new best friends. You can only be best friends with me, understand?"
"Okay, I get it. I'll follow your rules," Skylar replied with a smile.
"Me too. Put your mind at ease," Natalie said.
