Chapter 87

I replied casually, “Yeah, I’ve made peace with the world and let go of many things.”

Jared frowned slightly. “What brought on this sudden enlightenment? Didn’t you mention attending some spiritual course last time? Did you go?”

I had forgotten all about that. However, since Jared brought it up, I recalled a time when I felt deeply troubled and stuck.

A few society ladies had introduced me to these supposed mental wellness courses, claiming they helped overcome inner conflicts. I had even signed up.

“I didn’t go. Those courses are just money traps,” I said calmly.

For some reason, Jared found this amusing and chuckled. “So you knew they were scams? I thought you’d need to be conned at least three times before waking up.”

“My brain isn’t that slow. I’d rather invest in gold with that money,” I scoffed lightly.

“You like gold?” Jared raised an eyebrow.

“Who doesn’t?” I thought his question was rather redundant.

Seeing that I wasn’t in the mood for a conversation, Jared didn’t push further. We arrived back at the villa late at night.

As I headed downstairs, Jared asked, “Is your… time over?”

I immediately understood his insinuation and thought, ‘What’s up? Tracy didn’t satisfy him enough, so he’s back home seeking more?‘

“No,” I replied before heading to my room.

Jared didn’t bother me after that. The next morning at the breakfast table, he suddenly reached over and touched my ring finger. “Is this a new ring you bought? It doesn’t look that nice.”

I had bought it cheaply from a second–hand market, so of course it couldn’t compare with new ones. “I like the antique style.” I fibbed.

Jared didn’t say anything more after that.

During my lunch break at work, I received a text message from Nathan. He was abroad and sent me a scenic photo, with himself absent from the frame.

I glanced at it and replied: [Beautiful.]

Nathan replied: [It’s even more stunning here in winter when it’s covered in snow.]

He simply responded with a “sure“, and knowing not to overdo it, he didn’t send anything else.

Sally had added me to the chat, mentioning she would pick up Yvonne that afternoon so we could focus on work without

I saw Jared, Quinn, and James being added one after another. Sally then renamed the group.

Sally mentioned that any announcements about picking up the kids would be made in this group. I replied with “Got it.” Jared chimed in with a simple “Okay,” and Quinn immediately sent a voice note complaining about her busy startup schedule. James remained silent.
