On the way there, Julius asked, “Have you really ended things with Trent?”
“What do you think?” Quinn said, “The truth is, whether I threw those two rings away or not, I had already ended things with him.”
Back then, when she left the rings on the bedside table as she moved out of the mansion, it meant that she no longer wanted those two wedding rings. It also indicated that she had absolutely no lingering feelings. toward their marriage.
She just hadn’t anticipated that Trent would actually bring their wedding rings here.
“Really? That’s good, then,” Julius expressed. A faint hint of amusement flashed through his eyes, melting the chill that was within them.
Meanwhile, Sidonie had taken a hurried shower before changing into a fresh set of clothes.
As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she spotted Trent sitting on the couch, staring intently at the palm of his hand. He seemed lost in thought.
“Trent, what’s on your mind?” Sidonie asked.
“Oh, nothing!” Trent responded, quickly setting his hand down as he looked at Sidonie. “Are you okay?”
“It’s all Quinn’s fault! She’s practically after my life. It was bad enough when she snatched my necklace, but now she even took the ring you gave me!” Sidonie said bitterly.
“I’ll buy you something even better in the future,” Trent promised.
Only after hearing this did Sidonie’s dark expression improve slightly.
At that moment, Trent suddenly asked, “Sidonie, why were you so panicked in the sea earlier? I thought you were a strong swimmer?”
Otherwise, back then, she wouldn’t have been able to rescue him, a grown man, from such a turbulent
river.
A flicker of unease crossed Sidonie’s face. “Are you doubting me? Do you think it wasn’t me who saved you back then?”
“No, it’s not that I’m doubting you; I’m just a bit confused!” Trent quickly said.
“Because everything happened so suddenly, and considering I hadn’t swum much since I’ve been abroad these past few years, it’s natural that I was caught off guard,” Sidonie said, a frown on her face. “Actually, if you really have doubts, you don’t need to regard me as your savior. I told you from the start that I saved you not because I wanted something in return, especially considering you had nothing to offer at the time!”
A flash of guilt crossed Trent’s face.
What was going on with him? He was actually starting to waver toward Sidonie, all because of that scene when Quinn had thrown her into the sea.
