Harvey walked to Barclay. "Aren't you going to see your wife?"

Barclay glanced at him coldly, and Harvey looked away in embarrassment.

Sure enough, he could not even say a word of ridicule.

Moira followed Cynthia to the garden. The Lindley family had been attentive to the banquet, and even the garden had been meticulously decorated.

There were not many high-end banquets throughout the year. Moreover, many distinguished guests who did not show up often came tonight. So, the "remote" garden was not favored.

Just as Cynthia had said, no one else was in the garden, and it was pretty quiet.

The lights only set off the atmosphere and were not very bright.

Moira put down the cup in her hand casually and followed Cynthia to the chair in the front to sit down.

Cynthia sipped her red wine and glanced at Moira before saying, "Ms. Jimenez, what hobbies do you have?"

Moira, who was about to be "questioned", was confused.

She said inwardly, 'Did I hear wrongly? Cynthia asked me what my hobbies were! Is it a new way of threatening love rivalry?'

At the thought of that, Moira sat up straight. "Ms. Hurst, please come straight to the point. Only us are here."

Since Cynthia asked Moira out alone, wasn't she going to warn Moira?

And since no one else was there, why did she have to lay so much groundwork?

Or was it because people from wealthy families liked to beat around the bush?

When Cynthia heard Moira's words, she pursed her lips and then changed the topic. "Then, may I ask why you married Barclay?"

That was the main point!

Moira sneered. "Ms. Hurst, your question is so strange. I married Barclay because I love him."

She added inwardly, 'What's going on? Is Ms. Hurst's so weak? Can't she ask something more provocative?'

Moira was thinking when she heard Cynthia say, "Barclay can force you."

Moira complained in her heart again, 'What's wrong with Cynthia? Why is the so-called "love rival" so unpredictable?'

She calmed herself down and looked at Cynthia, frowning. "Ms. Hurst, you're overthinking. In current society, is there still anyone who is forced to get married?"

Cynthia nodded and answered seriously, "Yes, my cousin was forced."

Moira paused and almost exposed herself. "Oh, then your cousin is a little weak."

Cynthia didn't say more and just stared at Moira seriously.

Moira felt uncomfortable under her gaze. Cynthia did not act like the supporting roles in the love novels, and none of the questions she asked were something Moira expected. If Moira hadn't confirmed that she had no contact with Cynthia in the past, she would have suspected that the person Cynthia liked was her and not Barclay.

Cynthia stared at Moira for a while and continued, "It seems that you married Barclay out of your free will."

"Yeah. What's the problem?"

Cynthia frowned as if she was puzzled. "Why do you love Barclay?"

"Love doesn't need a reason."

"Oh," Cynthia responded.

She didn't continue the topic and asked an irrelevant question instead. "What outdoor sports do you like?"

Moira felt that there was indeed something wrong with Cynthia. "Ms. Hurst, if you don't have anything else to say, I'm going back."

Seeing that Moira didn't answer her question, Cynthia didn't continue asking. "Alright, let's talk next time."

Moira said to herself, 'There's no next time!'
