StarNovelChapter 0077 "You look good, girl," I grinned at her.
She blushed and huggedagain, "Oh please." She pulled back, "You don't look bad yourself, either." "Sydney!" Grace and I exchanged a glance when we heard my nbeing called out then we both turned to the direction the call had cfrom.
I raised my brows at the people walking towards us. Truly, these were the last people expected to run into - Mark and Bella. What a surprise.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Grace left for Paris, it was left toto oversee the affairs of the company. I had been so busy getting things right and stripping the company of all the employees that didn't want it's progress that I didn't even have any tto think about Mark or Bella or anyone or even anything that wasn't relevant to the growth of the company.
Even whenever I was in GT Group, I have never cacross him. Now thinking about it, I wondered how that had happened. I mean I visited GT Group a number of times and we never ran into each other. Could he have been avoidingthen? But it didn't even matter. It was even a good thing and it wasn't like I ever itched to see him.
Seeing them now- a huge grin on Mark's face and Bella smiling slightly as she ckubg to Mark - felt like a lifetsince I last saw them.. "Grace, hello," Mark stopped before us then he turned to me, "Sydney, long tno see. How have you been?" "As you can see, I've been good. How about you?" Mark shrugged, "Life goes on." Then his brows creased very slightly, "Have you guys got time? We could all grab a cup of coffee." Reflexively, my gaze wandered to Bella, who possessively holding Mark's arm, was I couldn't help but mentally shake my head. So Mark was still clinging to her? Well, none of them or their actions meant anything toanymore. I had let it all go.
"Hi," Bella managed out when our eyes clashed.
"Hi," I answered politely and turned to Mark, declining his offer. "Nah, we don't have the time, Mark. We have pretty important things to do." Mark looked somewhat disappointed. Then he quickly covered up his disappointment with a smile, "Of course. Next tthen." I couldnt help the laugh that bubbled up my throat, "Don't you think a good ex-wife should keep a proper distance from her ex-husband? So, no, thank you. There won't be a next time." I wasn't about to invite Bella's trouble into my life again. She should have Mark all to herself.
I didn't wait for his response, I took Grace's arm and started to veer her toward the car.

She smiled and riveted her gaze solely on me, "Sydney, I'm pregnant. Aren't you going to congratulate your sister?" "Really?" I fully turned around, "Then I must congratulate you on becoming a mother." I held her gaze, What does this have to do withthat you had to personally tellthough?I'm sure I didn't impregnate you." I scoffed, "How funny."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI turned and took Grace's arm. As I veered her toward the car, I said, loud enough for Bella to nean" What's the big deal about being pregnant? I don't get why she's so proud. Like she's the only one on earth who can have a baby."
Grace responded immediately, playing along. "I know right!" I almost burst out laughing, her voice wash even looden than mine; as usual, she En always took things to the next level. "I bet when either of us gets pregnant, our baby will be a thousand times cuter than hers." After Grace's outburst, Mark's words drifted to us. "You didn't have to tell her, you know," he said in a clipped tone.
"What's it to you?" Bella shot back.
Mark must have responded to her but their voice drifted away since they've started to walk away
By the twe got to the car, my face was hurting from holding back my laughter, burst out, guffawing." Grace, you still haven't changed, huh?" I said amidst laughter. "What?" She shrugged as she laughed with me, "I was simply backing you up.
