Chapter 1792

Sophie would never wear such an innocent expression; even when she just glanced your way, there was always a hint of mischief in her eyes.

By the time Odie snapped back to reality, his classmate had already whisked Sophie away, whispering, "Was that guy weird or what? He was staring at you the entire time."
