Chapter 268 Keep Your Distance from Him

As the notion traversed Jordan’s thoughts, a chill flickered in his gaze, settling into a steely, unyielding stare fixed upon Lucius. Just as he parted his lips to speak, a clear and melodious voice interceded, disrupting the moment.

Milly stood beside Jordan, fully aware of his feelings. Detecting his unease as he scowled, she understood he was about to decline.

Just like in the previous life!

His face reflected the portrayal in the story by the inexperienced writer. A scowl, then a frosty sneer, and eventually a hint of chilling coldness in his gaze…

Although aware of Jordan’s kindness and sincere care for her, Milly was reluctant to endure a day in the “dark room“.

Therefore, before Jordan could dismiss her coldly, she intervened, “Okay, Lucius, you were recently inquiring if we could be friends, right? I formally accept now. We can indeed be friends.”

Lucius shifted his gaze to Milly, asserting firmly, “Not just friends!”

Milly was taken aback. What does he mean?

“The only friend!” He emphasised the word “only” to ensure it resonated clearly with her.

A slight smile crept onto Milly’s lips. She had never encountered someone so obstinate and persistent. Is there a substantial distinction between the only friend and just a friend?

Despite her uncertainty, she nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright.”

Upon hearing her consent, the solemn expression on Lucius‘ face vanished. instantly, replaced by a touch of happiness evident in the now relaxed corners of his lips.

This change was a sharp/departure from the earlier atmosphere of tension.

Jordan was surprised by Milly’s agreement, a hint of concern flickering across his serious expression. “Milly!”
