Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 747

Chapter 747 Side Story: Childhood Sweetheart 7

Later on, she deliberately avoided spending time with Damian. No matter how much he questioned her, Alice would simply say that growing up meant maintaining a polite distance between those of the opposite gender.

However, as time went on, Damian's instances of getting drunk became more frequent.

The memory faded, and as Alice looked at the person in front of her, she just couldn't find the words to say.

"Damian, I'm really fine. I'm begging you not to push me anymore," Alice pleaded, lowering her gaze meekly for the first time.

Damian's words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

The two of them were in a standoff for quite some time until Alice finally broke the silence.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go out now."

"Wait."

Alice's hand, which was about to reach for the door handle, froze.

"About what happened back then, I can explain... I had too much to drink that day, I..."

Alice turned her head away, trying hard to hide the paleness on her face.

"Damian, I was young at the time and I don't remember anything. Let's just leave the past behind. You'll always be like a brother to me."

She didn't really say much, but what she said managed to widen the gap between them.

Damian nodded, no longer speaking.

Alice didn't know how she managed to walk back to the classroom. As she faced the puzzled looks from her classmates, she forced a smile.

Only Lynne noticed that Alice wasn't herself. She walked over, hooked her arm with Alice's, and led her back to her seat.
