No longer a pushover

Noelle had never really considered such a possibility. She recalled that in her previous life, Xenia was chasing after Justin with the intention of marrying into a wealthy family.

She figured that Xenia would not even spare a glance for a family like the Liddells. She shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about that."

Donovan had always been biased toward Xenia. In Noelle's previous life, he was the one who suggested bringing Xenia into the Liddell family, which was why even Noelle herself had no idea.

After a while, Micah spoke up. "You two should just head back to the dorm for now. You don't have to wait for me."

Grace immediately replied, "It's not like there's much time left anyway. I already talked to the dorm supervisor and told her that we'd be back much later. It's fine."

Noelle chimed in and said, "The three of us came here together, so we'll also be going back together."

Micah was afraid of meeting Noelle's eyes. Her hands hiding under the covers slowly clenched together as she decided not to say more.

And so, the three of them headed back to the dorm together.

Grace and Noelle deliberately slowed down their own pace to match Micah's slower steps.
