She Flash-Married To His Rival

Chapter 247

"After all that's been said, this is the real deal, isn't it, Moira?"

Indeed, as longtime friends, Juliet knew Moira well.

Moira sighed softly. "I guess I'm just afraid of history repeating itself."

All her courage to initiate anything had been invested in Alfie. It had been quite a feat to pull away.

Now, she was grateful that she still had the capacity to like someone else, and she genuinely did like someone new.

But once again, she was the one who fell first, and she was quite fearful of ending up in the same situation.

Juliet understood that Moira hadn't completely recovered from the hurt of her previous relationship. She just didn't talk about it usually, so Juliet didn't pry.

Now that Moira had inadvertently revealed her heart, Juliet, as a friend, felt both compassion and helplessness.

"To be honest, haven't you ever considered that Barclay might like you too?"

Moira was in the middle of ordering when she heard Juliet's words, and she almost dropped the menu in surprise. "Don't joke like that."

Juliet chuckled. "Moira, you're too hard on yourself."

Moira finished selecting her dishes and handed the menu back to Juliet. "It's not about self-confidence."

Barclay just wasn't the type to openly like someone!

"What do you mean then?"

"Do you think Barclay is capable of having a secret crush on someone?"

Juliet pondered for a moment before shaking her head. "You're right, Moira. It seems I've put too much trust in you!"

Moira snorted lightly. "Well, I guess..."

"Well, guess what?"

"I can still dream about it."

Her cheeks flushed as she finished speaking. It was such an embarrassing admission.

Juliet clicked her tongue. "Is that all you dream about? Moira, you're way too timid."

Juliet was indeed bold and open-minded!

It was Valentine's Day, and there were activities everywhere. After having a casual lunch, they strolled around until it was time for dinner.

Earlier, Juliet had made aExclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

restaurant, but it was packed due to the occasion, so although they didn't have to wait for a table, the service was slow. By the time they finished dinner, it was already past seven.

Although they had planned to go to a bar later to check out some hot guys, it was mostly a joke. If Juliet actually went, she'd probably blush.

In the end, they went to a music bar to soak in the festive atmosphere.

Perhaps because of Valentine's Day, the place was quite crowded, and the ambiance was much better than a regular bar. A resident singer was strumming the guitar and singing folk songs, the music blending with the soft glow of the lights,

Moira ordered a glass of orange soda and sat with Juliet, listening to the music.

Since it was Valentine's Day, the bar had a special activity where every half hour, they randomly selected a gentleman and a lady to come up on stage e and exchange WhatsApp numbers. If they were willing, their bill would be waived, but it wasn't mandatory.

Juliet's eyes lit up at the mention of the activity. "They're actually thinking about us single folks too."

Glancing at Moira, she added, "But not you. You've got a husband."

Moira felt a pang of embarrassment and thought of Barclay. Without thinking too much, she snapped a quick photo of the bar and sent it with a message. [We're at the music bar. Not checking out guys, I promise.]

'Was that too forced? Should I take it back?' Moira hesitated, but it was too late to retract the message.

Suddenly, she felt nervous, sitting there, and stared at her phone, feeling a bit uneasy.

Would Barclay think she was being conceited?

Juliet noticed Moira's fixation on her phone. "Any handsome guys in there?"

As she spoke, she leaned over to sneak a peek and caught sight of Barclay's reply on WhatsApp. "Sorry, I shouldn't have pried."

Juliet realized she had intruded on Moira and Barclay's conversation by peeking at the messages.

She deserved it!
