Lillian had deliberately leaked the news of her divorce from Sebastian to Bella the night before, hoping she would go and make a scene.
After so many years of compromising on her official status, Bella must be desperate for a proper title now, right?
And now that Sebastian was finally divorced and single again, if they weren't getting married now, what were they waiting for?
Lillian had already guessed that Sebastian hadn't told Bella about something as major as the divorce.
Although she didn't know what Sebastian was plotting by keeping the divorce quiet, since he wanted to hide it from Bella, she decided to do him a favor and tell Bella herself. She was curious to see how Bella would react.
Bella had no energy at work today; she was basically just going through the motions in her office.
Hannah quickly noticed her state.
"Bella, what's wrong? You don't look well. Are you sick? Should I call a doctor for you?"
Bella shook her head. "It's probably just that I skipped breakfast. No need for a doctor. Just bring me a glass of milk."
Hannah immediately went to get it.
While getting the milk, she happened to run into Sebastian.
Hannah couldn't help but add, "Mr. Blake, Bella seems really out of it today. I don't know if she's sick, but maybe you should check on her?"
Sebastian immediately grew tense upon hearing this. "She's sick?"
"I'm not sure. She said she just didn't eat breakfast, but it doesn't seem like that's all. She looks like she could be sick, or maybe like she has something on her mind."
