The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Bella and Justin exchanged stunned glances.

It sounded like Ralph wanted to marry Carrie.

Mila exclaimed in shock, "Ralph, what are you saying? You want to marry Ms. Carrie? When did you start having feelings for that girl?!

After a while, Ralph spoke with a tinge of bitterness. "Back then, I chose to give up because I saw that Carrie and Ryan were deeply in love, and Ryan truly cared for Carrie. So, I hoped that Carrie's path to love would be smooth and without trouble. I didn't want to cause her any problems."

'Didn't want to cause her any problems.' Bella lowered her gaze as she sighed to herself.

The truth was, Ralph and Carrie were quite compatible. They were both people who put others first and were understanding of those around them. They had strong empathy, and were very perceptive.
