Meeting You Was Fate

Simon walked firmly toward Nathan and Mandy. Bonnie, who was standing next to him, smiled and then followed him closely. Her delicate baby face had a sense of victory on it.

Mandy couldn't bear to see Bonnie like this, like she was making a declaration of her ownership over Simon. Fortunately, Nacy wasn't here tonight, or this would really have provoked her.

The guests gathered all around Simon and Bonnie. Some of them were even whispering.

"Have you heard what happened with Simon? It's such a pity that Simon and Nacy got divorced. A few days ago, Nacy announced that she was pregnant and wanted to quit the entertainment industry. But things got so ridiculous. She had a miscarriage, and they got divorced shortly after."

"But didn't Simon cheat on her first? I heard that Simon met a woman at a bar and went to a hotel with her..."

"Is that woman Bonnie?"

"I think so. She is quite beautiful, though."

"Nacy now has an intimate relationship with the deputy director of the Education Bureau. I've heard that they are old lovers and lived together three years ago."

"Well… The entertainment industry is crazy when it comes to relationships…"

"Nathan, Mand," Simon greeted them expressionlessly as he walked up to them.

Bonnie clutched Simon's arm, unwilling to let it go. She smiled proudly and greeted them too, "Mr. Jin, Mrs. Jin."

Neither Nathan nor Mandy spoke back to her. Mandy looked away and fed Nathan a small piece of cake, ignoring Bonnie on purpose.
