The name Adelaide, for Morwenna, was like a bad taste in her mouth. It was rare for Morwenna to dislike someone this intensely.
In truth, Adelaide had once saved Stuart, and if Adelaide had simply pursued Stuart openly, Morwenna wouldnât have had an issue with her. But Adelaide didnât go after Stuart. Instead, she always found sneaky ways to bother Morwenna, which she really didn't appreciate.
Seeing Morwennaâs frown, Greta quickly said, âDonât worry too much. That backstabber Adelaide wonât stir up much trouble. Stuart wouldnât allow it since he was the one who sent her packing. Sheâs already on a flight back home. I have a friend who spotted Adelaide returning, so I came to give you a heads-up.â
Morwenna gratefully responded, âThank you, Greta.â
Greta leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued, âEven though that backstabberâs return might not mean much, I do wonder whatâs brewing. So, how are things between you and Stuart?â
Morwenna gaped, realizing Greta was here for the scoop. Nevertheless, she didnât mind sharing with Greta. Their relationship wasnât a secret to Greta, so it was fine.
Morwenna earnestly shared, âStuart and I are doing well. It's just that now Iâve started school, I canât just leave campus whenever I want, so we donât see each other every day. But we call each other daily. My English isnât very good, so... he reads me English stories...â
Greta was all ears, shaking her head after hearing the story, âNo, no, that wonât do. With someone like Stuart, the physical closeness reflects how close he is to you emotionally. This polite distance isnât enough.â
âActually... it's not all just polite distance. He... he has kissed me.â
Gretaâs eyes sparkled with the thrill of gossip, âOh? Not bad, but still not enough. Honey, let me tell you, with men, if they like you, they go for it. Donât wait for Stuart to make a move. You should take the initiative, seduce him, get close to him, keep him on his toes.â
âBut I donât know how.â
âThereâs nothing to it, Iâll teach you...â
Greta leaned in even closer, nearly resting on Morwennaâs arm. But this time, Morwenna didnât pull away.
They sat on the steps, with Greta playing the role of love guru, all while dishing out advice and getting the latest gossip on Adelaideâs return.
Adelaide, that schemer, could try all she wanted, but Stuart would never fall for it. Not worth worrying about.

After half an hour, Greta felt her tensed nerves relax. She used to wonder what kind of woman could win Stuartâs affection. Now, she pondered what kind of man could capture Morwennaâs heart. Stuart was indeed lucky, and Greta couldnât help but feel envious!
As they wrapped up, Greta stood up, saying gracefully, âAlright, remember what I told you? You can try it out during your weekend leave. You should head back and rest, Iâm heading out too.â
âOkay, Iâll remember. Take care, Greta.â
Gretaâs grace lasted only a second before she let out a yelp, âOuch, I think I stepped on a pebble.â She had almost forgotten she was still barefoot.
Morwenna hurried over to check. Gretaâs foot was red but not injured. Looking at Gretaâs high heels and then down at her own cartoon slippers, Morwenna couldnât help but smile.
