Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 375

Fidelia had been worrying about how to find information on that man from earlier, but luck was on her side today—just as she needed an answer, the opportunity practically fell into her lap.

Still, she didn’t press for details. As a young woman from a prominent family, she carried herself with a certain dignity.

She smiled and said to Camilla, “Mrs. Crawford, would you mind passing along my thanks to him?”

“Of course, dear,” Camilla replied warmly.

Fidelia grinned. “I’m off to catch my movie—the show’s about to start.”

“Go on, then! Don’t miss the best part,” Camilla encouraged her.

With a spring in her step, Fidelia walked away. She had the odd feeling that Camilla’s gaze lingered on her, but she couldn’t be sure if she was just imagining it.

In fact, Camilla did watch Fidelia and her classmate head toward the cinema before finally turning her attention elsewhere.

“Not bad, not bad at all,” she murmured to herself.

Just then, Jacques returned, looking a little dejected.

He hadn’t been able to find Effie, and disappointment was written all over his face.

Camilla asked, “Where did you run off to just now? You disappeared so quickly!”

He didn’t want to talk about it; failing to find Effie had left him in a foul mood. “I just had something urgent to take care of,” he said curtly.

Camilla assumed he meant he’d needed the restroom and let the matter drop.

As they neared home, Camilla turned to Jacques and asked, “What do you think of that young woman from earlier?”

Jacques’ eyes flickered—he wondered if Camilla knew he’d gone after Effie. “Which young woman?”

“Today’s guest—the Etheridge family’s daughter, Fidelia. She’s lovely, isn’t she? Polite and well-educated.”

Until now, Jacques hadn’t been sure if the girl he’d seen was truly the Etheridge heiress, but now that Camilla confirmed it, he knew he hadn’t been mistaken.

“She’s nice, isn’t she, Mom?” he replied.
