Chapter 898: Harmony

Aveline couldn't resist Joyce's pestering any longer. "Fine, I'll tell you. Yes, I like Orion, and I've agreed to be his girlfriend."

"But you haven't told me yet-what does it feel like to like someone?" Joyce pressed further.

"Liking someone is when you think about them when they're not around, and when you see them, your heart feels warm. You just want to stay with them forever."

For instance, right now, just thinking about Orion's face made Aveline feel incredibly sweet, as if the whole world had gotten a bit brighter.

Noticing Joyce dazing off, Aveline asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you like someone too?"

"No, I don't!" Joyce, usually sharp-tongued, suddenly stammered, which immediately piqued Aveline's curiosity.

"Joyce, who is it? Do you like Hugh?" Aveline, who wasn't usually one to gossip, suddenly felt intrigued. Who could have captured Joyce's attention?

Hugh was a boy from their kindergarten days. Back then, he was a loner, avoiding contact with anyone. Joyce had taken the initiative to approach him, and over time, Hugh became her good friend. To call him a friend might be an understatement-he was more like her follower or protector.

Later, when Aveline returned to Clothville for school, Joyce stayed in New York, and Hugh ended up in the same elementary school as her. They were always in the same class.

They were childhood friends, and given Hugh's loyal personality, it wasn't surprising if Joyce had developed feelings for him.

"Hmph, you're so nosy. I'm not telling you!" Joyce turned away, avoiding the subject. Aveline chuckled softly. Her sweet but naïve little sister clearly had her own thoughts now. Everyone has their secrets, so Aveline decided not to press further.

The two drifted back to sleep. Two hours later, the door burst open, and someone came running in.
