Maria was even more perplexed by Amelia's response. There was so much anger and bitterness lacing her words and actions. She stared at the way Amelia's hand tightened around the fork as if she was about to hurt someone.
"Did he cheat on you after proposing to you?" Maria asked calmly, feeling so sorry for Amelia.
"What! No. I'm not talking about him. I was referring to the jerk I was supposed to be married to." Amelia explained.
"Huh! I'm a bit lost." Maria said dropping her fork, her gaze intense and unwavering.
Amelia released a sigh also dropping her fork. All this talk about Jerry had made her lose her appetite.
"It's kind of complicated and I don't think you will want to hear it." Amelia was reluctant to share her ugly story.
"Are you kidding? I'm dying to hear it." Maria's animated gesture made Amelia chuckle.
"Okay. I don't know if you heard about the huge celebrity wedding that took place in this city more than two weeks ago."
