Beyond the Divorce

"She told me that Trinity took a stab for you. At that moment... I was truly..." Ivanna's voice trembled, her eyes reddening. "And then Arthur ordered an early return. This time, he's feeling quite guilty too. After all, the people on the ship are either rich or noble."

Ivanna involuntarily hugged me again.

I could imagine the state she was in at that moment. After all, we had been through life and death situations together. When she was in danger, I felt the same way.

I pulled her away gently. "Alright, let's go inside and eat together."

"What do you think? Of course, I'll eat here." She made a face like a rascal, and I couldn't help but laugh.

She grinned, "Ah, it would be great when Lauren comes back. I'll have a place to freeload again, hopping from one place to another. I won't have to cook. It's nice to have my best friend back after all." I snorted, "How do you take care of yourself? It's really worrying. You're a grown person."

We chatted at the doorway for a long time before finally going inside.

My mom, seeing me return, seemed to notice that something was wrong with my expression and hurriedly asked, "Why does your complexion look so bad? Did you not rest well these past two days? Is the food on the ship not to your taste, or were you seasick?"

I deliberately complained, "We talked about things too late last night, so I didn't sleep well. I'm a bit seasick too. I'm so hungry. When are we having dinner?"

Grace immediately got up and rushed to the kitchen. "We'll have dinner right away. I'll inform Molly. You guys wash up and get ready."

Ivanna looked at Grace and whispered to me, "What's happening to her? Has her conscience finally kicked in?"

I playfully nudged her, "Keep your voice down. Don't let her hear you because it'll make her awkward."
