They were worried about Jennifer, so they called her. Jennifer told them she was on the 77th floor, but didn’t pay attention to the room number.
Lydia pressed the speakerphone button at that time, even thought Jennifer disguised herself well, she and Jasper could still tell that Jennifer’s voice had changed.
“Jenny, where’s that jerk who ghosted you?” Lydia cracked her knuckles.
Jennifer casually replied, “He left… to find Catalina.”
“Damn!”
As they got off the elevator, Lydia kept cursing at Brayan. Jennifer was worried that Jasper would find it annoying, but Jasper said he actually loved hearing people curse at Brayan, as long as it was done well.
Tonight Lydia didn’t come home, she stayed at Jennifer’s to keep her company. Jennifer originally said Lydia didn’t have to stay, she didn’t want her friend to worry about her at this age.
Jennifer admitted that the scare and hurt Brayan brought her tonight. were not small, but she’s an adult, not a child, so she should solve her own problems.
Plus, Lydia had to work the next day, so staying at her place was too
far.
However, no matter what Jennifer said, Lydia insisted on staying with her. Jasper also advised her to let Lydia stay, so in the end Jennifer had

to compromise.
The old house on Sanford Street wasn’t very big, even though it was at suite. It only had one bed.
“I’m sorry Lydia.”
“What’s wrong with sharing a bed with you?”
Jennifer was amused by Lydia.
Both of them have to work tomorrow, but neither of them can fall asleep. They just lie in bed chatting, as if they were back in the time of living in the high school dormitory.
Back then, Jennifer and Lydia used to chat at night often, sometimes. until two or three in the morning, and then the next day the alarm clock went off countless times but neither of them wanted to get up.
“I said Jenny, what do you really like about Brayan?”
Lydia rolled over and asked curiously.
“What other advantages does he have besides being handsome, tall, fit, wealthy, capable, a CEO of a listed company, and coming from at wealthy family?”
Jennifer was at a loss.
She didn’t know if Lydia was trying to put Brayan down or compliment him with that comment.
The bedroom was quiet, Jennifer thought for a moment and said softly, “Brayan, he… was my first love.”
“Weren’t you two friends since college? He got into a car accident, and you saved him…”

Lydia thought she didn’t remember wrong. “First love is quite hard to forget, but you were already an adult back then, don’t tell me you were so devoted to Brayan just because of that?”
Jennifer shook her head, sounding a bit regretful and a bit resentful, “I actually knew Brayan a long time ago, but he forgot about me.”
“Wow, he’s been a player since he was young!”
After Lydia finished speaking, even in the pitch–black surroundings, she still saw the bitter smile on Jennifer’s face.
“He wasn’t a jerk back then… he was actually quite handsome.”
Thinking back to the rebellious yet righteous Brayan in the Juvenile Detention Center, Jennifer’s bitter smile turned shy.
“Sis, I think you have a serious case of love brain. How old were you back then?”
“About 13 years old!”
“That was the perfect time for falling in love.”
Jennifer didn’t deny Lydia’s words. She thought she was pretty love- struck, otherwise she wouldn’t have been a housewife for three years. for Brayan.
If it wasn’t for that chart she stumbled upon by chance, if Catalina hadn’t gone back to her country, she would probably still be going on, then getting lost in the beautiful dream that Brayan loved her, self- satisfied.
“So in high school you never accepted Clarence, I kept wondering why, now I get it, it’s because of Brayan.”
When Lydia mentioned Clarence, Jennifer felt a bit down.

The bedroom quieted down, Lydia patted her forehead.
“Sorry, my bad. Let’s talk about something else… like Jasper‘? He’s not bad–looking either, even if he’s not as good as Brayan, he’s still a fresh
meat.
“Did a married woman seduce a male college student?” Jennifer burst. out laughing.
“So what? Your husband is already a married man, but he still doesn’t behave like a man, always hanging out with that stupid green tea.”
Whenever Brayan is mentioned, Lydia has nothing good to say.
Jennifer picked up her phone to check the time, and casually opened Instagram.
Brayan rarely posts on Instagram, but tonight he broke the habit and posted a photo. The photo was of a bedroom, and Jennifer didn’t recognize the decoration or the prominent double bed in the middle.
But she understood Ronan’s reply below.
Ronan: He ditched me to drink with his sister–in–law, bros before hoes.
