Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 85

It was strange, really.

Everyone in Nexurla thought Cynthia was capable of anything and was really talented. Yet, Ellora always felt the need to protect her and even claimed that she had no sense of direction. Not only that, she even claimed that she would work hard as an actress, taking in more jobs so that she could take care of Cynthia.

Cynthia was sometimes curious about when she had given Ellora the impression that she was someone who needed protection.

As they arrived at the private dining room, Ellora pulled her to sit down. Then, after ordering, Ellora asked Cynthia about her sudden decision to leave Jiverton.

“Are you and your husband planning to move to another city?”

Ellora knew about Cynthia’s marriage, but neither had mentioned names.

Ellora did not ask, and Cynthia did not say.

The two girls had many topics to discuss when they were together, mostly gossip, food, drinks, work, fashion, and makeup. However, they would rarely talk about relationships unless something happened.

In addition, Cynthia rarely attended Joshua’s parties, and the two had not announced their relationship, so naturally, not many people knew.

Cynthia did not hide it and said, “No. We’re getting a divorce soon.”

Ellora was shocked.

The impact of this news was too great for her. She had never thought that Cynthia would get a divorce.

“Is this a joke? Didn’t you say you had a flash marriage and that he treated you well?”

“The divorce application has already been filed. The cooling–off period will end next Tuesday, and we can go get the divorce certificate on Wednesday,” Cynthia said bluntly.

“Let me process this for a moment.” Ellora was a bit overwhelmed.

Divorce? She had never thought of this happening to her best friend. How could anyone be willing to leave her?

After calming down a bit, she asked tentatively, “Did you file for divorce, or did he?”

Cynthia replied, “Him.”

“Why?” Ellora asked curiously.

Cynthia did not tell her the real reason, only saying, “We’re incompatible.”

Cynthia knew Ellora’s personality well. She would have been furious if she knew that Joshua had asked for a divorce because his ex–lover had returned.

Cynthia did not want her to worry too much.

“It’s okay, bye–bye to him! The next one will be even better! When you find someone who is better looking and treats you better than him, let him know that there are people who care about you. You don’t need him,” Ellora comforted Cynthia, wanting to make her feel better.

Cynthia nodded and hummed in agreement. They continued chatting for a while, and then the food arrived.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

During the meal, Cynthia saw that Ellora had a hickey on her neck, but she had not noticed it before because of the scarf.

Cynthia said, “Ellora.”

“What’s the matter?” Ellora replied, glancing over while replying to a message on her phone.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” Cynthia asked.

“Impossible.” Ellora laughed.

Cynthia pointed to her own neck, her eyes fixed on Ellora. “Then what happened?”

Ellora finally realized it, and her body stiffened.

Cynthia noticed this slight reaction.

“I got married. That man gave it to me,” Ellora said casually, her tone no different from before.

Cynthia’s surprise was no less than Ellora’s reaction when she learned about Cynthia’s divorce.

“Why haven’t you told me before?”

“It was a marriage of convenience. When his ex–lover returns, we’ll divorce. I didn’t tell you because he’s not that important,” Ellora said quickly, only revealing part of the truth.

Cynthia was puzzled.

Ex–lover?

Then, Cynthia said, “So, why did he want to…”

She truly did not know how to put it in words.
