Isabella sharply sensed something unusual from these words, her eyes narrowing. She then asked bluntly, "What's going on? Why do you suddenly have another fiancé popping up around you?" Neera didn't expect Isabella to so quickly guess it was her in that situation and hurriedly denied it. "W-What nonsense are you going on about? It's not me! This matter has nothing to do with me; it's my friend." After speaking, she corrected, "Moreover, the man who appeared isn't her fiancé.

They're only engaged due to an agreement between their families, but nothing has been finalized." Isabella knew Neera was feeling self-conscious, so she kindly went along with her. "All right, all right, this is your friend's problem, right? Now tell me, what's the deal with that man?" Neera could hear Isabella's stifled laughter, causing her face to turn somewhat red. She had no choice but to play dumb, however. "It's like this.

My friend is set to inherit the family business, and her family once agreed to a marriage agreement with this man's family. The successors of both families were supposed to be united in marriage. Now, she and this man are each the successors of their own families, so according to the agreement, they are technically engaged. However, nothing is confirmed yet, so it doesn't really count..." "So that's how it is." Understanding dawned on Isabella, who had grasped the crux of the issue.

"Is your friend still mad at her boyfriend? If she is, this could be a perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson." Neera clutched the quilt, feeling conflicted as she said, "Actually, it's not about whether I-she's angry or not, it's just... my friend is unsure if her boyfriend trusts her." "I see." Isabella analyzed, "Given your situation, he was already lacking confidence in your relationship because you ignored him.

Your recent actions might make him think that you're looking for someone else. The situation is unique now; it's no longer about trust. Anyone would feel upset and tend to overthink in this sort of situation." Upon hearing this, Neera became even more uncertain. She shook her head slightly, finally coming to her senses.
