Chapter 3251
"Just... happy with how things are," Cindy said, her voice tinged with shyness.
"So, you're together now," Lulu chuckled, shaking her head. "After all the heartbreak he caused you, you forgave him so quickly. You should have tested him more."
Martin had only realized his feelings for Cindy after she left heartbroken and hopeless. Lulu thought Cindy should have made Martin experience the same feelings.
Understanding that Lulu was just being protective, Cindy smiled and said," He has made a lot of effort already." "Oh, there's a story here," Lulu immediately revealed her gossip-loving nature.
"You’re right," Cindy agreed, starting her story. "When I returned, my family tried to make me marry someone right away.
"Despite still feeling heartbroken from San Joto, I didn't want to rush into marriage like that, so I refused.
"However, my family then took my phone and restricted me from going anywhere except home, cutting me off from the world." "No wonder Martin couldn't reach you and was so worried," Nicole remembered, thinking of Martin's concern.
"Yes, he searched for me but couldn't find out anything. Later, he learned about my family's marriage plans and got the groom's family to stop the wedding."
That was how Cindy got out of that situation, and she found out Martin had done a lot for her, even suffering a lot himself.
Lulu nodded sympathetically, I can imagine it was incredibly difficult for Martin to convince the groom's family." "Indeed, with families like ours, calling off an engagement can cause a lot of trouble, so he faced many challenges,” Cindy continued, her eyes filled with compassion. If she had known the lengths to which Martin had gone for her, she would have found any way possible to escape her family's clutches.
"Presumably, the groom's family must have been moved by Martin's sincerity to agree," Nicole said, smiling softly. "Luckily, you two didn't miss your chance to be together." "Yes, things are good now. We're staying in San Joto. I’ll be working with Martin on medical research," Cindy shared, her eyes shining with excitement about their future.
"Oh, this happiness is really sweet," Lulu teased Cindy.
Cindy, looking earnestly at Nicole and Lulu, expressed, "Thank you, both of you. I'm so grateful to have met you."
Thinking of them had often comforted her during hard times.
"We're happy to know you as well," Lulu said with a smile, looking at Nicole.
"Isn't that right, Nicole?"
Nicole nodded and then asked Cindy, "Has your family agreed to let you stay here?" "Yes, they have," Cindy answered, remembering how Martin stood up for her with her family and his promise, all of which made her incredibly happy.
"It seems this dessert is nothing compared to your joy right now," Lulu joked, winking playfully.
Blushing, Cindy playfully retorted, "You married lady, don't tease me. Your husband's reputation for doting on his wife is well-known in San Joto."
Caught off guard, Lulu then shook her head, "Love makes people witty, it seems." "I think it's not just love but also friendship that does that," Cindy remarked, nudging her chin toward Lulu as if to say, 'I learned it from you.'
Nicole watched the banter between Cindy and Lulu, smiling contentedly.
Martin had changed in demeanor after his trip abroad. Nicole thought to herself, 'It sounds like he went through a lot. Thankfully, everything turned out well, and they ended up together.'
After lunch, Cindy bid farewell to Nicole and Lulu and left in a taxi. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Nicole and Lulu also got into their car, heading back to Riddle Corporation.
"Ah, it's good those two had a happy ending. We were so worried for them when Martin couldn't get any news of Cindy," Lulu reflected, almost fearing they might have missed their chance. Thankfully, Martin never gave up.
Nicole's gaze drifted out the car window, her brow furrowing slightly in thought.
