Evita stepped out of her car, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.


    Tilda nced at her, wrapped her coat tightly around herself, and headed towards the bar without another word.


    Keanu watched her retreating figure, feeling a hollow ache in his chest.


    As he moved to follow, Evita intercepted him.


    “Keanu, wait.


    ”


    Keanu paused, looking at her.


    “What were you two talking about? Did you confess your love? What did she say? Did she agree to start over with you?” Evita’s eyes sparkled with eagerness.


    After seeing Tilda and Keanu at the hospital, she’d reported everything to Scarlet.


    Scarlet had urged her to push Keanu into reiming Tilda.


    After acquiring Keanu’s contact details from a ssmate, Evita phoned him and revealed that Tilda’s child was not from her current husband, hoping to boost his determination.


    From the looks of the scene she witnessed, it seemed like the two were professing their love for each other.


    “No, she said she wouldn’t divorce her husband.


    She told me we’re done.


    ” Keanu sighed, his shoulders slumping.


    Evita’s eyes narrowed slightly before she smiled, cing a hand on his arm.


    “Don’t be discouraged, Keanu.


    Women often say things they don’t mean.


    First loves are the hardest to forget.


    You and Tilda had something deep.


    She can’t just let that go.


    She’s probably just protecting her pride.


    Keep trying.


    She’lle around.

    Maybe Tilda’s words were just a defense mechanism.


    Maybe, just maybe, she still harbored feelings for him.


    After a moment of silence, Keanu cast a sideways nce at Evita with curiosity and asked, “Why are you assisting me?”


    Their rtionship seemed rather distant, didn’t it?


    Evita blinked her eyes and replied, “Just consider it my way of alleviating boredom and enjoying a bit of drama, alright?”


    She certainly wouldn’t confess that it was to aid her closest friend.


    Scarlet desired Tilda to divorce Lyndon, knowing that it would weaken Lyndon’s alliance with the influential Larson family, thus improving her brother’s prospects of bing the head of the Fernandez family.


    Keanu refrained from further inquiry as he was indeed reluctant to give up on Tilda.


    “Let’s head inside,” Keanu said, rejuvenated, as he walked toward the entrance of the bar.


    Evita smiled with contentment.


    As she walked, she shared the photo of Tilda and Keanu gazing at each other in the night with the group chat.


    After some contemtion, she also forwarded the photo to Scarlet along with the details that Keanu had disclosed.


    Momentster, Scarlet responded with a message, “Evita, I need your help with something.
