Chapter 377

"It's fine. I get scolded even more at school. I'm used to it. Charlotte scolds me much worse than they do," I said, smiling. I made a light joke to ease Gabrielle's guilt.

"Wait. Why are you crying?"

There was no reason for her to scold me other than that she looked down on me. It was that simple.

Gabrielle stopped asking when Charlotte didn't respond.

She smiled at me. "Let's just forget about the past. From now on, the three of us will be good friends, okay?"

I looked at her. "I really do want to be friends with you."
