“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 watched the banter between Cindy and Lulu, smiling contentedly.
After lunch, Cindy bid farewell to Nicole and Lulu and left in a taxi.
Nicole and Lulu also got into their car, heading back to Riddle Corporation.
Nicole's gaze drifted out the car window, her brow furrowing slightly in thought.
