"I just want to inform you that the venue has been settled," said Jean casually.

"It's not a big deal. You can just tell me that on the phone," Terence replied lightly.

The expression on Jean's face changed. She knew it was nothing important; she just found an excuse to visit him.

She smiled awkwardly. "Since you helped me a lot, I want to thank you by inviting you to dinner tonight," she said.

"Thank you, but I'm good," Terence said indifferently. "You're my friend, and that's what friends for."

"Friend?" Jean didn't look well. She looked at Terence sharply. "Are we just friends?" she asked.

"What do you think?" Terence raised his head. "If you don't have anything else to say, you can go now. I have a lot of things to do here."

'It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't replace Julia in Terence's heart, ' thought Jean with a bitter smile.

u saying that Jean shouldn't pay me a visit? Why are you being so aggressive?"

"Mom, I just want to make things clear." Tina restrained herself.

"Make what clear?" Sandra said crossly. "Now that Jean is Terence's fiancee, is there anything wrong with him telling her my situation?"

Sandra glanced at Jean and continued, "Don't be afraid, Jean. Did Terence ask you to come here?"

After hesitating for a while, Jean finally spoke. "I went to his office today and heard that you are sick. So, I came here as soon as I finished my work. Fortunately, you are fine, or—"

"What do you mean? Do you mean that I'm not taking good care of my mom?" Tina asked discontentedly.

"I didn't mean that..." Jean waved her hands.

Sandra pulled Jean's sleeve and said, "Come on, don't talk nonsense with her. Sit down. You haven't finished what you were telling me a while ago."
