“You…” Valery’s mind raced, her face turning pale as realization hit her. Declan was Hannah’s ex-husband!
Valery composed herself as best as she could.
“So he is your ex- husband, so what? You two are now divorced!”
“Quite right,” Hannah said nonchalantly.
“We have nothing to do with each other. I just thought something might be wrong with you since you were asking such stupid questions.”
Valery flushed. Even she wanted to hide in a hole when she thought back to her behavior just now.
“Miss Moore, here are the cuff links that you purchased.”
Hannah stood up and glanced at Valery.
“I have better things to do, so I’m leaving now.”
She took the shopping bag from the store attendant and left without a backward glance.
The moment she was out the door, Valery jumped to her feet and demanded in a sharp voice, “I want to buy the same cuff links she got!”
The store attendant offered her a professional smile.
“I’m very sorry, Miss, but those cuff links were custom-made. If you’d like, we also carry a series of limited edition cuff links. Please come this way.”
Valery’s face expression turned ugly. She whirled around and tried to cling to Declan’s arm again, but her hands only met air.
Declan had already walked past her and was chasing after Hannah.

“Let’s have dinner together. Tonight. What do you say?”
“Please address me as Miss Moore,” Hannah replied in a cold voice.

“Don’t misunderstand. Valery and I are not a real couple.” Declan matched her pace as Hannah pressed forward, adding, “I had no idea that you knew her. Don’t worry, I’ll draw a clear line with her.”
That made Hannah pause. She frowned at Declan, shocked and offended by his audacity.
“Why are you even telling me this. If you had to explain yourself to someone, it should be to Eliana. If you’re doing this because you’re worried that I would expose you, rest assured-I’m not interested in any of your business.”
Declan’s face changed. He reached out and held her wrist.

“Listen to me, Hannah. After everything that happened, I finally figured it out.
