"What I said is true." Seeing Stella Shields contradict her, the woman said, "You talk as if you know everything! Oh, right, I heard you used to chase after Nathan Fawcett, didn't you?"
"…" Stella Shields's expression stiffened. Her face darkened as she said, "You're mistaken! The person I like is Ethan Linden, Nathan Fawcett's brother, not him. I just didn't realize he was *the* Nathan Fawcett! I've known Ethan for a very long time."
She had already convinced herself to forget about Nathan Fawcett.
'Nathan Fawcett could never like her.'
'But, thank goodness for Ethan Linden…'
'Thank goodness there's still someone in this world who likes me.'
"Ethan Linden, huh?" The woman chuckled at Stella Shields's words. "You don't know, do you? I heard Nathan Fawcett recently adopted a child."
"What child?" Stella Shields looked at the woman.
