Carla put down her phone and was about to go to the bathroom when she received
another text from Brad: Do you know about Lena's marriage?
Marriage? Was Lena going to marry Harry?
Carla was a little confused.
Just as she was pondering over this, Lena had sent over an e-invitation.
Carla, I will be tying the knot with Harry on the 19th of this month. It is my sincere hope
that you will celebrate this union with us. I've also sent an invitation to Mr. Giblo. Hope to
see you there!
Carla frowned and opened the e-invitation. It contained the wedding photos of the
couple taken by the beach. Lena and Harry, for all that was worth, made for quite the
striking couple.
There was also a short love poem attached.
Carla could not be bothered to read it, for disgust was coursing through her veins. Back
when Harry was studying, he liked to do this type of thing to woo women. She never
expected him to use such a trick on Lena as well.
She also could not fathom Harry's alleged ignorance. Was he truly unaware that Lena did
something terrible for Lola? You're still going to marry her, despite all this?
Carla was about to settle down when her phone started ringing. It was Brad.
Just as Carla was about to hang up, the door suddenly opened, and Zayn strode in.
He noticed her sitting on the bed, the phone still ringing in her hands. "Did you not sleep? Or
did you just wake up?"
"I didn't sleep." Carla hurriedly tried to hang up.
Zayn walked over in large strides and took her phone from her hands.
Carla wanted to snatch it back, but Zayn had already seen the caller ID.
She was flustered, out of fear that he would lose his temper like before.
Zayn, however, did not say anything, nor did he lose his temper. Instead, he answered the
call and put Brad on speakerphone.
"Hey, Carla, can we talk?"
Carla looked at Zayn weakly before asking, "Is something wrong, Brad?"
"Nothing's wrong, but I wanted to talk to you about Lena and Harry. I just found out and
immediately took the next plane here."
"What does their marriage have to do with me?" asked Carla disdainfully.
"You already knew about them?" Brad seemed a little surprised. "As I said, I only found
out last night. It's shocking, to say the least."
Carla did not speak but seemed to think that Brad was too naive for his own good.
It could be that Lena had deliberately concealed this from him.
But with this announcement, the cat was out of the bag.
"I really don't know what she's thinking. I knew that she liked Harry when we were studying,
but Harry was with you. Then he married Lola, but now he's marrying Lena?"
Brad was stunned by the whole affair. "This shows that Harry has a serious attitude
problem. But the shocking part is that Lena wants to marry him and that she's now
pregnant. It really pisses me off."
Carla was stunned as well. She had not expected Lena to be pregnant.
No wonder you're in a hurry to get married.
"Carla, I know that Harry was someone from your past. You shouldn't care who he
marries. I do, however, hope that this doesn't affect things between us. We're—"
"We're still good friends!"
Carla immediately interrupted Brad. Zayn's face had darkened considerably. She
could not let him finish that sentence.
"Well, that's right." Brad breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "I heard that you
and Zayn are officially together? How is he treating you?"
"He is very good to me and the children, " Carla replied earnestly. "If all goes well, we'll
get married too!"
"Really? Congratulations!" Brad sounded crestfallen.
"Why, thank you, " said Zayn, breaking the silence.
