Tiffany had sent Adeline a message that read, "Are you free this afternoon, Addie? I'd like to talk to you. Let's meet at the cafe near your office. Why did Tiffany want to see her? . Anyway, what would come would always come, and it was useless to avoid it. "Okay," Adeline replied. She waited in the cafe for half an hour before Tiffany finally showed up. Wearing a long, tight-fitting dress, Tiffany looked graceful and elegant, and her shiny pearl earrings looked quite expensive. After sitting down, Tiffany quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Addie. I ran into a traffic jam on my way here. Brendan usually drives me around, but he's busy today, so I have to drive myself. I'm not really good at driving, so I'm late. Even though Tiffany was saying sorry, her words registered as gloating to Adeline. Tiffany just had to tell Adeline how good Brendan was to her. Hearing that, Adeline was rendered speechless. Brendan only spent time with her when he wanted to have sex with her. He didn't take her to dinner or even drove her to or from work. It turned out that Brendan was capable of being thoughtful and considerate. He simply didn't want to be thoughtful and considerate to his own wife. Adeline didn't want to waste her time, so she said straightforwardly, " You didn't come here just to have coffee with me, did you? I don't thin k we're close enough to sit down and chat. Just tell me what you want. "I just want to make something clear to you, Addie. Brendan is cold on the surface, but he's warm on the inside. He cherishes t he people around him

" Tiffany looked at Adeline complacently and continued, "You must have misunderstood us. There is nothing going on between me and Brendan. We have known each other for a long time. If we were really together, then he wouldn't have. "He wouldn't have married me, right?" Adeline chuckled and added, "Tiffany, I know that Brendan likes you, and you also like him. Si nce you two like each other, then why don't you just get together?" . When Adeline met Brendan, h e was single. If she had known that Brendan and Tiffany w ere still into each other, then she never w ould've inserted herself into the picture. Feeling a little f rustrated, Tiffany pursed her lips. The man she l oved had alway s been Brendan . , instead of her late husband, Lance Clemons. She only chose Lance because he was the eldest son of the Clemons family which meant he would inherit most of the Clemons family's wealth someday. And Bre ndan would never fight with Lance for anything because he had a good relationship with his brother. Tiffany had been brought up in a wealthy family. She always believed that she deserved only the best. How could she allow her husband to be inferior to others? . That was why s he chose Lance over Brendan. After they got married and move abroad, she and Lance encountered a landslide once on a trip. In order t o save her, one of Lance's legs was broken, which had disabled him for life. His injury was so severe th at he had to be bedridden for the rest of his life. This was something that Tiffany could never accept. Although Tiffany didn't want to take care of a useless cripple for the res t of her life, she couldn't afford to offend the Clemons family by divorci ng Lance. The Clemons family was just much more powerful than her family

She was forced to stay with a crippl e that she didn't even love. Every mi nute she spent with him was torture. So, she was so happy when Lanc e finally died. Now that Lance was gone, she couldn't wa it to come back and take everything that should belong to her, Brendan included. But Adelin e stood in her way. Tiffany sighed and said helplessly, "I was too young at that time. I didn't know my true feelings. Otherwis e, Brendan and I would have gotten together long ago. Then, she looked at Adeline and muttered, "Yes, you have b een married for three years. So what? Adeline, he still do esn't like you. Being married to him doesn't change that. Adeline c lenched h er fists. She felt like Tiffan y just drove a huge thorn in her heart. Now that Tiffany had come straight to the point, there was no need for Adeline to waste any more time. "Tiffany, if you ca me here today to provoke me, then I'm sorry to let you down. I've already decided to divorce Brendan. I don't want him any more. So if you want to be with him, then go ahead and be with him and leave me out of it. I'm not in the picture anymore. After saying that, she took out some cash from her purse and put it on the table. "We're not friends, so we shall go Dutch
