Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 17 Friendship

"Mrs. Amelia, have a good time!" A proud smile appeared on Lucian's face. He turned the steering wheel and drove off.

After Lucian left, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. When she was waiting for the car, she heard people talking.

"That woman's such a weirdo. I don't know what she's doing just screaming out here in the streets!" a passerby commented snidely.

"That man is trash! He had an affair while his wife was pregnant. Can you imagine..." another passerby said, shaking his head as he spoke.

"The woman's probably pregnant and the man doesn't want to marry her," another chimed in.

"You're right. Men nowadays just want to have fun. But the minute the responsibilities come rolling in, they're gone!" The other nodded in agreement.

"..."

While they were talking about shotgun marriages, Amelia couldn't help but be reminded of Jasper and Yolanda. But how could Jasper have done that to Yolanda?

It was like they were dealing with one problem after another. Jasper only betrayed Amelia because he knew how much she trusted him. Meanwhile, Yolanda wasn't really the type of person to take anyone's shit. She'd fight tooth and nail for what she wanted. Naturally, she'd be resentful toward any other women Jasper used to be involved with.

"What's even more unbelievable is that the man used to date that woman's younger sister first then for some reason, they broke up and the man ended up with that crazy woman..."

Amelia was only able to catch the last few things the woman had said as she was too absent-minded.

She looked over in astonishment and wondered to herself, 'This is such a weird coincidence! Are they talking about Jasper and Yolanda?'

"Yeah, that woman's crazy. Did you see how scared the man was of her?"

All signs were pointing to Yolanda. It seemed as if they were really talking about her.

Amelia didn't mean to overhear any of this. After all, it's not like she still had anything to do with them.

She just thought how unfortunate her luck was for her to have to know someone like Yolanda.
