Chapter 1467

Mable agreed to meet Eugenie at the café tomorrow. After hanging up the phone, Blair looked at Mable beside her and asked, "Is Eugenie still in Richworth?" Mable placed her phone aside and nodded, saying, "Yeah, she mentioned she still has some unfinished business. Plus, she asked to meet me tomorrow, saying she has something to discuss." Blair furrowed his brows, lost in thought. "Maybe it's related to the Necro Poison." Mable guessed. Seeing Blair looking somewhat worried, Mable wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled. "Stop frowning all the time. It's just a small matter. Nothing will happen." Blair ruffled Mable's hair. "I'll accompany you tomorrow." Mable immediately refused. "No need. You should rest at home and focus on recuperating. I'll have Spike watch you for rehab in the afternoon. Plus, it's not suitable for you to be out and about now." Tomorrow was the weekend, and neither Spike nor Nicki had school. Blair did not want Mable to worry about him, so he reluctantly agreed. "Let me know if anything comes up." "Mm." Mable leaned gently against his shoulder and chatted about Solomon and Rahman's situation in Monafett. The next afternoon, Mable drove out to meet Eugenie. When she arrived, Eugenie was already seated in the café waiting for her. "Sorry for keeping you waiting," Mable said as she approached. "It's me who arrived early. Take a seat." Eugenie handed the drink menu to Mable. "What would you like to drink?" Mable ordered an iced Americano, and soon enough, the waiter brought it over. "I thought you had already left Richworth. Is there something important you need to do with a sudden change of plans?" Mable asked Eugenie. Eugenie took a sip of her cappuccino, her smile tinged with melancholy. "I was actually at the airport, ready to go through security, when I received a phone call that changed my mind." Mable hesitated for a moment and asked, "Has something happened?" Eugenie looked at Mable. "I just want to verify something." "Hmm?" Eugenie took a deep breath, her expression somewhat conflicted. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, "Mable, do you want to know about my past with Jeremiah?" Mable was momentarily surprised but nodded. "To be honest, I'm a little curious. If you're willing to share, I'd like to hear." Eugenie stirred her coffee with a small spoon, her delicate eyebrows furrowing. She seemed to be reminiscing, thinking momentarily before saying, "Jeremiah and I met many years ago. I pursued him. We were each other's first love. I was a freshman, and he was my senior, and I pursued him for two years. Finally, I publicly confessed my feelings at his graduation ceremony and became his girlfriend. At that time, all the girls in college envied me for winning the heart of the school's heartthrob. I thought I was lucky, too." Recalling the past, Eugenie could not help but feel a bit unsettled. Mable looked at Eugenie, surprised that someone who seemed quiet and reserved would pursue a guy for so long. Mable smiled. "You're so beautiful. It's hard to imagine any guy not liking you." "Jeremiah didn't think so. During those two years, I pursued him and tried every method, but he didn't even spare me a glance. I was surprised that he eventually agreed to be with me."
