Beyond the Divorce

Michelle's remark immediately attracted curious glances, and everyone turned toward me.

I could read all kinds of meanings into those glances. I was certain that was what Michelle intended.

"Yes, Matthew is my ex-husband. We all know about my past marriage. Looks like Michelle provided quite a detailed introduction! We haven't met in years, so it'll be good for everyone to catch up with each other."

As I made my little speech, people understood my implications, and all eyes now turned to Michelle. Of course, the meaning in their eyes varied.

Michelle blushed, attempting to defend herself, "Hey! Why are you all looking at me? I just have a loose tongue, haha... We've all finally gotten together after so long. Was it so wrong of me to share some updates? Besides, it's the truth, and I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

She tried to justify herself, and Ivanna retorted, "Haha! Not at all. You're just keeping people informed, right? You really haven't changed. After all these years, you're still a blabbermouth." Many people laughed.
