Chapter 767


    "In a couple of days, we''ll be outta here." She just needed to meet up with Melody, and then it''s time to


    go.


    Otherwise, their rtives and friends, who were always in the know, would start dropping by once they


    heard that they were back. They''ll be asking for help with all sorts of things.


    They thought they were pretty slick, being careful about where they went and keeping their return


    under wraps. But somehow, the news still got out.


    You gotta hand it to them, these people knew how to sniff out gossip.


    "Stay a bit longer,’ Shirley pleaded. "You and George should drop by the Collins family more often.


    Their daughter is such a catch, and Romeo swooped in and took her away in no time. We should pay


    them a visit."


    "Right on,’ Phillip nodded approvingly. "You and George definitely need to visit them more."


    Jennifer sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding, no one could hold a candle to Melody. Melody


    was the ideal daughter-inw in her eyes.


    Jennifer couldn''t resist messaging Melody on WhatsApp.


    [Melody, what are you up to?]


    Arabe replied promptly: [Shopping.]


    [What are you nning to buy? I can help you pick.] Jennifer was eager to help.


    [All done shopping.] Arabe had just paid, and after a thought, she asked, [Are you feeling better


    today?]


    Jennifer was over the moon! Melody cared about her!


    [I''m much better, your remedy worked wonders! How are you so amazing? You seem to know


    everything.] Jennifer couldn''t resist asking, [Do you live in Summerfield?]


    [Yes.]


    [We live in Summerfield too. Let''s meet up for some tea soon. I owe you a big thank you. I managed to


    find the person who poisoned me, thanks to you!]


    Jennifer sighed again. [I''ve known her for twenty years, and to think she''d want to kill me over some


    petty gains.]


    [People are like that,] Arabe, her hands full of shopping bags, sent back a voice message: "It''s okay


    if you''re doing better than me, but not too much better. Otherwise, your happiness only serves to


    highlight my unhappiness. So, from admiration to jealousy, and then from jealousy to hatred, if you


    don''t adjust your mindset in time, you''ll end up making the wrong move."


    [Melody, how do you know all these life lessons? And your voice is so beautifull]


    Jennifer didn''t expect such wisdom from a girl in her teens. And her voice was simply stunning.


    She was drawn in by her voice during their chatst night.


    And now, listening to her voice so closely, her captivating voice was just maic.


    [I wonder if things would have turned out differently if I had cut ties with her sooner.] Jennifer pondered.


    "Right, haven''t you noticed? People who rarely change friends usually grow at the same pace as their


    friends. But those who grow rapidly tend to change friends quickly too. Because their social circles are


    different. Trying to force a rtionship would only make the other party ufortable." Jennifer


    listened to her advice, deep in thought.


    "Some friends are only meant to apany you for a certain part of your life''s journey. There''s no


    need to feel regret. As long as you gave all your heart during the time you spent together and truly felt


    joy, even if the end result wasn''t what you hoped for or even if you had to pay a price, you''d still gain

    something, right?


    You''ll definitely meet better friends in the future." [Do you think I could meet better friends?]


    "Of course, you''re a great person. You''re sure to meet friends who truly care about you."
