Chapter 236: Meeting the Rival in Love
Today, Duncan came to see the female lead because of some work-related matters. Originally, someone from the company was supposed to come, but he hadn’t had time to see the female lead, and he really wanted to meet her. So he used work as an excuse to see her.
After coming here, Duncan realized how clever his recent actions were. If he hadn’t come, he probably wouldn’t have known that the male lead had come to see the female lead. And from the look of the male lead, he probably wanted to reconcile with the female lead. But how could that be possible? He would never give the male lead a chance to reconcile.
He couldn’t prevent the female lead from marrying the male lead initially, but now he definitely wouldn’t give them a chance to reconcile. Also, it seemed like the female lead didn’t want any relationship with the male lead anymore. But since the female lead reacted like this, he naturally stood on her side.
“Today when I saw the male lead coming, he probably wanted to reconcile with you. What do you think? After all, you two have had many years of marriage and you are his savior. He also has no relationship with Karina now. If you like him and want to remarry him, it shouldn’t be impossible. With your current status, no one would refuse to marry you. Maybe it was just that his judgment was bad before, but now…”
However, interestingly, just as he wanted to test the female lead’s reaction, before he finished his words, the female lead’s sharp gaze fell on him.
The female lead sighed helplessly. “I know you’re saying this now just to test my reaction, to see if I still like the male lead. I did like him back then and insisted on marrying him. But now, I’ve hit a wall and realized my mistake. So I don’t want any relationship with him anymore. You don’t need to test how I feel about him. But just because I have no relationship with him doesn’t mean I want a relationship with anyone else. Right now, work is the most important thing for me. Besides work, I don’t want to consider anything else. As for relationships, let them happen naturally. Whether they happen or not doesn’t matter to me. I’ve neglected my responsibilities for so many years, and now it’s time to pick them up.” Ads by PubFuture
The female lead knew Duncan’s thoughts very well. In fact, he had been very clear about them for many years. It’s just that Duncan had never shown it so clearly. But ever since she divorced the male lead, he couldn’t control himself anymore. He would always appear in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, constantly reminding her of the male lead.
The female lead always understood what Duncan was thinking, but she couldn’t respond to him, so she never brought up this matter. But now that Duncan had brought it up himself, and the female lead felt it necessary to clarify things with him, she couldn’t give him false hope.
They had grown up together, and where couldn’t Duncan understand the female lead’s meaning? His smile became a bit awkward and stiff, but he understood the female lead’s meaning. She just wanted to tell him that even if she had no relationship with the male lead, it didn’t mean she would give anyone else a chance. Even though they had known each other for so many years, Duncan also knew that the female lead always kept her word, and once she decided something, no one could change it.
“I understand what you mean. I was just asking casually, with no other meaning. But since the male lead is chasing after you, who knows what he’s thinking? If you really get back together with him, I guess my sister and the others will be furious again. Speaking of Miles, I heard that you had dinner with him some time ago and someone took a photo of you. Now everyone is speculating whether you’re going to marry Miles’ son and become his stepmother.”
Though Duncan felt sad inside, he smiled and changed the subject. Since the female lead didn’t want to hear about these things, he wouldn’t bring them up again. After all, he and the female lead had known each other for so many years. There was still a long way to go. Even if it wasn’t possible now, it might be possible in the future.
The female lead also knew about these things, but she didn’t understand why Duncan was bringing them up now. Just because she had no relationship with the male lead didn’t mean she would have a relationship with someone else, did it?
Meeting Miles was just an accident, and it didn’t mean anything else. Thinking about it now, she felt a bit of a headache about this matter.

explained away just because she wanted to. Because those people would only want to hear what they wanted to hear, without caring about the truth of the matter. They thought there was a possibility between her and Miles, so they would believe it without reservation. As for what their relationship really was, who would care so much?

“I thought you wouldn’t be curious about these things, but it turns out you’re even more gossipy than women. There’s nothing between me and Miles. You’re overthinking it. The media can say anything to get attention. You know how they were talking about you and your sister on those websites a few years ago. You’re not unaware.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Yes, there had been a very speechless incident a few years ago when someone photographed the two of them going out together, leading to suspicions about their relationship. But it was later proven that they were just siblings, and being twins made it easier for that incident to pass. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Hearing the female lead’s explanation, Duncan felt a lot more comfortable.
“Well, I just asked casually, with no other meaning. Why bother about it? None of this is important. When shall we go out for a meal together?” Duncan glanced at the time again. It was almost time for dinner now, but it seemed like the female lead hadn’t planned to leave work yet.
“We can go for dinner now. Today’s work is indeed a bit much, and I forgot about eating. It’s a good thing you came to remind me. What do you feel like eating? I’ll treat you today.”
The female lead tidied up her things. She had originally planned to just eat something random at the cafeteria today, but since Duncan had come to find her, she couldn’t just let him leave like that. So she took the initiative to suggest treating him to dinner.
Duncan, of course, wouldn’t refuse such a good opportunity. So he immediately suggested a restaurant. The restaurant was one the female lead had heard of before and was currently very popular as a romantic spot. He knew what Duncan was thinking, so she readily declined.
“That place is too far. Can we find somewhere closer?”
