Mabel heard the heat agreement between Clara and Christabel over her. She was also confused. Ria is no Jun, trusting him can be very fatal. She didn't want a repetition of what she had gone through. Her thought kept accelerating and she held the car for support as her head kept spinning.
Clara who was holding her felt the stiffness of her body. She stared at her and discovered how tired she was. She quickly opened the car door and sat her down. She sat beside and ignored the ranting of Christabel who was still talking about all that Lucian and Mabel had achieved in love.
Asher walked toward them, he had a heart-to-heart chat with Doctor Allen and knew all about what happened when they were in school. He had blamed the boys for being insensible knowing that Mabel is a novice and may take the situation from a different angle than Lucian had predicted.
