Chapter 869: Confession

"... I... I didn't want to pass her love letter either," Aveline said hesitantly, turning her

head away.

"Then why did you help her?"

"Liora reminds me of Joyce. Joyce is so far away, and she's the one I can't stop thinking about. Every time I see Liora, I think of Joyce. That's why, when she asked me for help, I couldn't say no," Aveline explained.

Orion hadn't even cared to glance at Liora after the basketball game, let alone notice what she looked like. He had torn up the love letter without giving it a second thought. His focus had been entirely on Aveline, leaving no room to remember anyone else.

He knew that in Aveline's cool and reserved heart, nothing mattered more than her family-especially her lively and slightly eccentric younger sister.

If that was the reason, he couldn't stay mad. With a soft smile, he lightly scratched her

nose.

"I'll let it slide this time. But if it happens again, you'd better be ready for my

punishment! Now, tell me honestly, if the Dean hadn't shown up just now, how would you have answered?"

Aveline had been torn earlier. Deep down, she didn't want Orion to say yes to Liora, but she couldn't ignore her plea for help.

"I wouldn't have agreed. It's your business to handle, not mine."

"Good. And this isn't just my business-it's ours. I don't want a third person getting involved."

"Orion, promise me something."
