Chapter 216 - Side Story 8.2 (2/2)

”Wow! You're glowing!”

”What's the occasion? Why have you suddenly called for us after our get-together yesterday?”

Alexa beamed and kissed her friends' cheeks. She even kissed Kristine's before they settled on their seats.

”Well . . . I'm going to tell you something,” Alexa started, her happiness was radiating from her voice.

”What is it?” everyone asked, smiling. Her happiness was contagious.

Alexa paused and stared at everyone before she beamed her brightest. ”I'm single!”

Everyone's smile dropped except for Kristine. Their faces were baffled before they went into an uproar.

”What?!

”Why?!”

”How did it happened?!”

”What happened? You're still married yesterday!”

”Oh my God! Are you okay?!”

Alexa laughed and calmed everyone down with her hands.

”Now. Now. Everyone calm down. Let me explain.” As she said so, she caught the twinkle in Kristine's eyes. The woman could bȧrėly hide her happiness at the news of her divorce.

”I'm sure the news didn't come out as a surprise since I'm sure you all know I'm not staying in the Cole's mansion anymore.”

All the ladies looked at each other and cleared their throats. Of course, everyone knew. It just that, they pretended that nothing was wrong since they all knew Alexa loved Alex so much ever since high school.

One of her friends reached for her hand. ”Oh my God. Are you okay?”

Alexa smiled. ”I'm fine. I couldn't be happier.”

It was silent for a moment before her friends said their words of encouragement.

”Well, I think it's good that you've got a divorce and set yourself free.”

”Yeah. It's better than to let yourself suffer.”

Kristine licked her lips and asked, concerned on her face but eagerness in her voice, ”So what are you going to do now that you're divorce? Why don't you explore the world? It helped me from moving on.”

Some looked at each other, and some raised an eyebrow, and some were waiting for the show.

But everyone was left speechless when Alexa's smile grew.

”Actually I have another news for you all,” she said and rummaged through her bag. She then handed out envelopes to everyone and handed the last to Kristine, saying, ”Open it.”

Eyeing at each other first, they peeled the envelope.

You are invited to the grand wedding of

Miss Leonora West and Alex Cole
