Was it true that a man could never forget his first love?
True or false, it didn't matter. At least now, if Bonnie asked, Sara had a cover story to protect the family peace.
Years ago, when Eva had made a scene about their breakup, the fallout between the Hardings and the Jameses had been nuclear. Aside from necessary public functions, the two clans avoided each other entirely. Elijah had even explicitly forbidden Adrian from ever tangling with Eva again.

Near noon, Bonnie invited a few friends over for mahjong. One player short, Sara filled the seat.
In the past, she hadn't known a bamboo tile from a circle, but to please Bonnie and integrate into this world, she'd forced herself to learn. Flower arranging. Tea ceremonies. Every required course for a socialite crammed into her brain.
She wasn't a master, but she knew enough to avoid being the butt of a joke.
Unfortunately, after the marriage, Adrian rarely took her out in public. With her background—an orphan who didn't even know her biological parents—she wasn't fit for the high society stage.
