RedNovelChapter 685:
Marina turned to Carrie, her eyes wide with a pleading look. “Carrie...”
Carrie met her gaze with a sidelong glance. “Stop causing , and I'll agree.”
Marina’s pout deepened, but Carrie’s firm tone left her no room to argue. The truth...
Carrie didn’t dislike Marina. She found Marina's antics mildly entertaining, and their families’ close relationship
made it easier to tolerate the woman's quirks.
“Me? Stirring up ?”
Marina huffed, her lips curving into a playful pout. “You're so biased against me! Everyone makes mistakes, but

managed to be slender yet impossibly curvaceous—a combination that Marina found infuriating.
Her eyes dropped to her own figure, and she let out a resigned sigh.

But now she realized that, on Carrie, being divorced was such a minor detail it didn’t even count as a flaw.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe realized Carrie wasn't her rival in love.
How could she dislike a woman who carried herself with such grace, even after forgiving Marina’s earlier
