After so many years of pining after him, he was about to marry somebody else. Brittany could not
accept it at all. She felt like the sky had collapsed.
She was miserable and drove alone as she cried. Unknowingly, she arrived at the gate of the Tanner
family. Of course, she did not drive all the way to Ruby City. The Tanner family had two properties in
Sapphine. “Arianna...”
Brittany sat in the car and called Arianna. She looked at the gate while crying. When Arianna heard the
crying from the phone, she was shocked. “Brittany, what happened? Don‘t cry. Speak slowly.”
“Arianna... Sniff... Are you home?” Only at this point did she think of asking Arianna if she was home.
She had driven over without asking first.
“Yes, yes. I‘m home. Do you want to come over?”
“Sniff sniff, I‘m already at your gate. C–Come and o–open the gate, please?”
Brittany cried so hard that her words were muffled. She sounded so upset.
“Huh? Are you at my gate? Wait.” Arianna‘s hurried footsteps could be heard before she hung up the
call. A short while later, she opened the gate and stuck out her head.
Arianna looked left and right, then at the car parked by the gate. She hurriedly walked over. “Brittany?”
“Sob sob...” Brittany turned her head to look at Arianna. Her face was full of tears.
“Why‘d you come alone? Come, follow me in. Let‘s talk,” Arianna said.
She immediately instructed someone to open the gate so Brittany could drive in. When Brittany came
out of the car, she instantly hugged Arianna. “Arianna, what should I do? What should I do now?” “Take
your time. Let‘s go in first,” Arianna coaxed Brittany as she led her into the house.
Inside the house, it was warm and cozy. There was a faint smell of incense in the air, easing her tensed
emotions.
Maybe it was because they were good friends, or perhaps she had vented quite a bit already. As soon
as she entered the house, Brittany‘s mood improved. She didn‘t cry anymore, but she was quiet and
sat silently on the plush sofa. Arianna instructed the maid to boil a pot of fruit tea and serve some
snacks. She waved a little, signaling for them to leave. She tugged Brittany‘s hand and said, “Come,
tell me all about it. What happened?” Looking up at her, Brittany blinked. The tears in her eyes started
rolling down her cheeks.
Exhaling, Arianna took a piece of tissue paper to wipe her tears.
“Sigh, this is so distressing. My princess, who was so cruel as to make you upset? Let me guess. If
anyone can make you so sad, it must be... Alex...” Arianna dragged the word but purposely refused to
finish the word.
Brittany opened her eyes wide and looked at her. When she heard what Arianna said, her tears began
to fall. This time, she didn‘t say anything as she let the tears continue to fall.
