It seemed that Sophie had once been very important to Mercer. Did he perhaps still love her?

Calla suddenly felt strangely fearful. Her chest felt stuffy and tight, and she was extremely upset. Why was she feeling this way? What was wrong with her?

Before she could think about it any further, she changed into the clothes she had worn to visit Garland Mansion in Sedonia, and notified Jasmine before going out.

When she arrived at the entrance to the café, she took a deep breath before walking in,

There weren’t many people here for coffee at this hour. The moment Calla looked up, she spotted a young woman at a seat by the windows.

When she saw the woman’s face, she suddenly felt nervous.

Sophie was very beautiful, and seeing her would make anyone light up. She had a perfectly oval face, finely shaped brows, a straight nose, and a rosebud mouth. She was very fair and clearly a typical beauty.

Calla stumbled and almost slipped. Luckily, the woman hadn’t seen her yet and hadn’t caught Calla embarrassing herself,

Calla was very nervous. She knew that Mercer’s ex–girlfriend wouldn’t be an average person, but she hadn’t expected her to be this beautiful! She was so beautiful that it would make anyone’s heart skip a

beat.

She then thought about herself. Although she wasn’t bad–looking, she could never compare with the

woman in front of her!

Calla felt her heart wrench painfully. She rubbed her chest, feeling as if there was a knife stabbing her heart relentlessly.

Calla couldn’t help laughing humorlessly. How could she have thought that she and Mercer had developed some level of feelings for each other over their time together? How could any man forget an ex -girlfriend like that?

Everything had just been a joke!

The person he couldn’t forget was his ex–girlfriend!

Calla looked critically at the woman sitting there. She had short, slightly wavy hair, and she had on intricate makeup. She was wearing a sleeveless, black–and–white suit that looked very stylish..

The pearl accessories on her ears, neck, and wrists were very eye–catching. It was clear that she was from a wealthy family. She exuded charm and poise with every move.

Mercer’s ex–girlfriend was beautiful and graceful, and she radiated the same elegance as Mercer. If the two of them stood together, they would look like the perfect couple.

As for Calla, not only did her looks pale in comparison, but she would also never have the same elegance and poise as Sophie did.

At that moment, Sophie looked up and saw Calla, who was already looking at her. Once she had ascertained who Calla was, she smiled and waved at her.

Although Calla had prepared herself for this moment, her heart still thumped wildly.

Still, she was already here, and there was no reason for her to turn back. She couldn’t let herself be intimidated by Sophie either, so she strode over firmly.

After she sat down, Calla said unapologetically, “I’m sorry that I’m late.”

Sophie smiled. “It’s alright. I know that you’re pregnant, and it must be difficult to get out and about.”

Calla was startled.

If Sophie knew about her pregnancy, she probably knew about everything else, too. Calla instantly felt like she was fighting a losing battle.

Perhaps she would never be able to stand against a woman that Mercer was still deeply in love with.
