Chapter 327

Elysia glanced at Justin before shifting her gaze back to Alice. “You came at just the right time.”

“So that means, Elysia, you and Justin are done talking?” Alice asked.

“More or less,” Elysia replied.

Noticing the smile on Elysia’s face, Justin’s expression darkened slightly. He hoped very much that Elysia could also wear such a smile when facing him.

“Since you still have something to do, I won’t bother you. I’ll be heading out now,” Justin said.

“Alright,” Elysia replied.

Justin turned and walked away. Alice watched his retreating figure, then mused, “Why is it that every time I come over, I run into him with you?”

Alice then turned to Elysia. “Elysia, I have a really strong feeling that Justin likes you.”

The moment she said that, Elysia clutched her chest and broke into a violent coughing fit.

“Elysia, are you okay?” Alice asked.

Elysia couldn’t even speak. She simply waved her hand, signaling that she was fine. But the coughing was so intense that her – entire face flushed red.

When she finally managed to stop, she reached out and tapped Alice on the forehead. “Who’s been teaching you this?”

“Elysia, I’m not a little kid anymore. I can tell when someone likes someone,” Alice said matter–of–factly.

“You’re too sharp for your own good,” Elysia said.

“Elysia, between Justin and Zane, who do you like more?” Alice asked.

Looking at how adorable Alice was, Elysia couldn’t bring herself to blame her even if she wanted to. She just found it somewhat amusing.

Alice, a twelve–year–old girl, was actually concerned about who Elysia liked.

When Elysia didn’t respond, Alice continued on her own, “I think you like Zane more.”
