Elvira laughed out loud and gave Roxanne two thumbs-ups. "You're seriously something else! You and Zachary were abroad just for a few days, and you went and got married in secret? Babe, that's not cool. You didn't even tell me about something this big."
Elvira didn't even think of Zachary at first. After all, Roxanne had only been abroad with him for a few days. In fact, it was barely ten days in total. And yet, she managed to register their marriage so quickly.
No doubt about it, Roxanne was her bestie—efficient and quick! She was truly the chosen one, destined for greatness.
Roxanne couldn't help but smile faintly. Looking Elvira straight in the eye, she said seriously, "It's not Zachary either."
Elvira's smile froze. Then, she closed her eyes, telling herself that she needed to dote on and tolerate her best friend. Even if she was a scumbag, Elvira couldn't say anything negative about her.
"Do I know him?" On the surface, Elvira appeared calm. But inside, she was already panicking.
For the past seven years, Roxanne's social circle in Valoria had almost entirely revolved around Sebastian.
Elvira wasn't being egotistical, but the only person Roxanne could really talk to was probably her. As for Zachary, he and Roxanne had only ever been casual acquaintances.
Roxanne was a woman of propriety. When she loved Sebastian, she had done so wholeheartedly, always keeping her distance from other men.
Many male classmates had followed her on social media for various reasons, but if any of them spoke to her in a flirtatious tone, she would immediately ignore them. And if they continued to harass her, she would block them.
She had only started to interact more with Zachary after her engagement party was called off and she told Sebastian she wanted to break up. Even though Sebastian hadn't agreed, Roxanne had already considered the relationship to be over.
Roxanne had a strong sense of integrity. Her life had clearly only involved two men—Sebastian and Zachary. So, where did this new guy suddenly come from? And how had it even gotten to the point of them getting married?
As her best friend, Elvira couldn't believe she hadn't known a thing!
As expected of her best friend! Every step she took was beyond Elvira's expectations.
Elvira pressed her hand to her chest. "Rox, I beg you, just tell me everything all at once. I can't handle this guessing game anymore."
Her heart couldn't take it! It was frustrating how all her guesses were wrong.
Roxanne laid out the entire story behind how and why she ended up registering her marriage with Shawn. By the time she was done, Elvira's eyes had gone even wider.
"So, you guys only got married on paper to help him out?"
Elvira couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Roxanne. "Did it ever cross your mind that by helping him, your next marriage will technically be your second?"
