Lyra lifted her hand and showed her the ring. "I'm married to someone else now."
Pearl grabbed Lyra's hand and stared at the ring.
"No way. It's a real wedding ring?" Pearl looked at Lyra, who nodded repeatedly.
"You're full of surprises, my dear. How did you end up married to another man? Your grandmother forced you, didn't she?"
Pearl pitied Lyra. Her grandmother was always acting like a dictator in the name of protection.
"Maybe, but… I was the one who agreed. Besides, he's super handsome, ten times better than Lucas," Lyra said proudly, lifting her chin with a smug little grin.
Lyra began to share everything that happened after Lucas left, until she ended up marrying Rowan.
At first, Pearl cheered up when Lyra said she had met a better man after she ended things with Lucas.
But her expression changed instantly when Lyra told her she had been kidnapped and that James had died.
