Chapter 18

Elliot only shared a class with her for a semester, during which he didn’t do much more than call her ‘Tallie Julie.‘ It wasn’t until the day before he was leaving for abroad that Elliot suddenly asked Julie, “Tallie Julie, how about I treat you to ice cream tonight. and tell you how to win Kieran’s heart?

Julie didn’t give two shits about the ice cream, but winning Kieran’s heart was her master plan! Without thinking twice, she agreed and arranged to meet Elliot at the food street near their school gate.
