Chapter 34
Leah stared at me intently, as if she had something to say, but she was hesitating.
"I thought your younger sister didn't come to class today." I was well aware that she was here to see me, but I had no intention of getting involved with her.
Leah walked up to me, blocking my way. "I'm really sorry about what happened the other day. I had no idea my mom would be so worked up. I came to apologize in person."
Even though she apologized for what happened at the hospital, it was clear that she was just attempting to act like the bigger person.
"If you were truly sorry, you would've done something about it back then, not come to me with an apology after everything has already happened."
tler silence at the time only enabled her mother, and I couldn't tell how genuine her apology was that day, but I didn't care for this kind of interaction.
"Get to the point I don't have time for games." My tone was cold and distant because I had nothing more to say to someone like her
Leah looked at me with puppy-dog eyes as if she'd been deeply wronged. "I understand if you're still upset about what happened that day I'm not expecting you to forgive me, but I hope you won't let it eat away at you"
It was obvious that she wanted to keep me there, and it made me uncomfortable. The wind caught her skirt, and if I didn't know any better, I would've actually thought she was a pencinely nice person.
Noticing my silence, she tucked a stray lock of her hair behind her ear and said, "I heard you got accepted into St. Nicholas University. When are you planning on heading over there?"
Leah sounded like she cared about me, but she was starting to get on my nerves. Lirowned and ignored her.
Unfazed, she continued, "Thad hoped we could all go together. Ethan and I are also heading there, and we plan to arrive a few days early to get settled in "
It seemed like she was finally getting to the point after all that buildup. Thad to give her credit for going through so much effort just to set the stage.
"We're both going back to school, but Ethan was adamant about purchasing a house there. It took forever to find the right one, but we eventually did.
**I'm sure you know how much work it is to decorate a new place, especially when it comes to picking out furniture. He even teased me for being childish when I was ch bedding"
She conEnged to describe the intimate moments of their shopping trips, sharing all the happy moments they had together.
"I'm more into pink sheets and duvet cows, but he prefers dark blue. 50, Thad to compromise, and we settled on a light blue set. It looks really soothing though."
Leah's skirt fluttered as she beamed, her words hinting at their plans to move in together.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Perhaps my heart had grown so numb that I didn't feel a thing anymore, not even a ploptick. Looking back, I should've known that their love was strong. It was no wonder Ethan kept choosing her over me. "Gosh, I've rambled on for far too long! I actually wanted to invite you to come with us to St. Nicholas University for the enrollment."
As if I needed to witness their happiness. That would just be adding insult to injury,
"That won'the necessary, I have my own plans." With that, grabbed my bag and left without a backward glance.
Tigured Lesh and Ethan would get together pretty quickly without me in the picture in this lifetime. I couldn't make him happy, but I didn't want to stop him from finding it. I just wanted them both out of my life. I bought two cans of beer before I arrived home. After a nice hot shower, I took the chilled beer out of the refrigerator.
I sat by the noor-to-ceiling window and poured the cold beer into a glass. As the foam settled, so did my mind.
Little did I know that the Wiley residence was about to be turned upside down that night, and my departure had caused them a bit of a headache.
