In this world, the person who knows the most about the Duchess's affairs is Judy.
The two grew up together, as close as sisters, as dear as limbs to a body; they had always been able to talk about anything and everything.
And concerning the Duchess's romance with Adam Walker back then, Judy was among the few who knew, and she knew the details best of all.
Hearing that the man was still alive, her face lit up with surprise.
"And then, did you recognize each other?"
The Duchess gently shook her head.
"Why?" Judy asked, puzzled.
"It's impossible," the Duchess said with a bitter smile, "Knowing he's still alive... that's enough for me."
Detecting the bitterness in her tone, Judy furrowed her brows and suddenly remembered something, "Since he's not dead, why didn't he come and look for you? This bastard... I know it, he must have fallen out of love, right?"
"No, Judy, he did come..." the Duchess wrapped her arms around herself, "But... I was engaged at that time."
