Once the words were out , there was no holding back . Luna confessed openly , " Brant stood me up , so I found myself a new husband . " Her words lingered in the car . Hearing that phrase , Jasper beside her smiled slightly . " Luna ! " Sadie's sharp yell came through the phone . " How could you not tell me something this important sooner ? " Who did you marry ? What ' new husband ' ? Don't tell me you picked someone up at the wedding venue ? " Even if you wanted to get back at Brant , you didn't have to go this far ! Marriage is a lifetime commitment ! " Even Sadie , who claimed to know Luna so well , thought she'd acted on impulse . It showed just how deeply everyone believed she was in love with Brant . Hearing Sadie's outburst , Luna actually felt warmth spread through her . Only someone who truly cared would worry about her making a reckless mistake . She lowered her gaze , her voice soft but firm . " Sadie , I'm serious . " " Serious , my foot ! " Sadie didn't hold back . " Luna , if you really wanted to piss off Brant , I could introduce you to ten - no , a hundred - hot guys ! All types , whatever you like , every one of them a hundred times better than Brant . I guarantee you'd have the time of your life ! You didn't have to marry some random loser out of spite ! " The temperature in the car seemed to drop instantly . Luna stiffened and turned her head , meeting Jasper's slightly chilly gaze . She'd just managed to calm him down . Was he upset again ? Her cheeks flushed . She hurried to explain , " What hot guys ? That has nothing to do with me ! I'm officially married now . I'm a taken woman . Don't say things like that ! " Before Sadie could express her shock , Luna quickly added , " And my husband is no loser . He's a hundred times more handsome than Brant ! " She said this without a hint of guilt . With a face like Jasper's , he was easily one of the most attractive men in all of Yuen . How could Brant even compare ? Jasper seemed pleased , but Sadie on the other end wasn't buying it . Still , what was done was done . Arguing now was pointless . After settling that , Sadie didn't hang up immediately . Instead , she softened her voice and said , " Luna , I've heard some rumors lately about your background ... " . Luna's expression tightened instantly , the warmth in her eyes vanishing . This was the last topic she wanted to discuss . After over twenty years as the daughter of a wealthy family , she'd suddenly become a nobody who was actually born in a poor village . These days , high society was buzzing with the joke . Sadie's clear voice pulled Luna back to reality . " Luna , don't overthink it . No matter whose daughter you are , you'll always be my best friend ! " Don't feel like you have no safety net now and rushed into a rash marriage . If your husband ever dares to treat you poorly , just divorce him . I'll take care of you ! " The warmth returned to Luna's eyes , her voice gentle and soft . " Sadie , thank you ." Thank you for standing by me when everyone else turned away . " Cut the sentimental stuff . Just remember you have options . I've got something to handle now . Talk later . " After hanging up , the hesitation and uncertainty in Luna's heart faded significantly . She was about to step into an unfamiliar place and begin a completely new chapter , but suddenly , the path ahead didn't seem so daunting . Lost in her emotions , Luna was pulled back by Jasper's voice beside her . " In the Smith family , we only have widows , not divorcées ."
