At that moment, Jace Sheffield was looking at the screenshot Jennings had sent him.
It felt as if a hole had been torn in his heart, and a chill flooded in from all directions.
The woman whose hand that was had finally ended up with someone else.
Jace Sheffield's breath caught. A storm of emotions swirled within him, making it impossible to remain calm.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Sheffield and Mrs. Coleman, sitting opposite him, had already moved the conversation on to wedding venues.
Jace Sheffield's ears were ringing. He gripped his phone tightly and, seized by a reckless impulse, stood up and walked toward the door.
"Jace!"
Mrs. Sheffield called out to him, but he acted as if he hadn't heard.
The awkwardness of the situation wasn't just felt by Mrs. Sheffield; even Mrs. Coleman and Catherine Coleman were struggling to hide their embarrassment.
Mrs. Sheffield smoothed things over with a smile. "Mrs. Coleman, please, you two have some tea. I'll be right back."
