Bettie shifted the conversation, inquiring, “Sabrina, has Bradley declared his love for you?"

"No, don't speak such nonsense. We are merely friends," Sabrina replied, shaking her head. She was puzzled by her own statement.

“He hasn't admitted his love, yet you allowed him to kiss you?" Bettie questioned.

“When did he kiss me?" Sabrina exclaimed, bewildered.

"He kissed you at the airport gate, didn't he?"

Reflecting on the moment, Sabrina said, "He handed me a necklace and expressed his desire to help me put it on. It appeared as though he was kissing me."

Consequently, Tyrone concluded that Bradley had kissed her, and thus approached her to inquire if she and Bradley were romantically involved.

Bettie glanced over and caught sight of the necklace adorning Sabrina's neck. She smiled approvingly and remarked, “Bradley certainly has good taste. The necklace is stunning.”

"I had no intention of accepting it, but he was persistent. I plan to return the favor with a gift of equal value."

"Oh, come on, Sabrina, why so formal? He gave it to you without expecting something from you in return."

"The necklace is a pricey item. Even though he's wealthy, I can't accept something so valuable without returning something."

Bettie gave Sabrina an exasperated roll of her eyes and sighed. “What a shame."

It was clear that Sabrina harbored no affection for Bradley.

In accordance with their initial plan, they were to have just returned from Shadowlake.

However, given their progress, the three of them made a spontaneous decision to head to Summerash.

Summerash was a small village within Violetness, where they could take pleasure in the picturesque Landscapes and the breathtaking aurora.

During that season, Summerash was engulfed in a polar night.

The group wandered through Summerash, entranced by the coastal views and majestic snow-capped mountains. They paused frequently to capture memories with photographs.

Bettie and Sabrina spent much of this time quietly assessing Sabrina's mood.

Seeing their concern, Sabrina smiled reassuringly and said, “Don't worry. I'm okay. It's only natural for a woman to feel upset when she encounters her ex-husband."
