Chapter 202 Kept Rena

Chloe was deep in conversation with Philip, completely unaware that she was about to be accused of something she didn't do.

While Philip and Chloe were talking, Rena sat at her desk, lost in thought. Ever since they returned from Oceancrest City, Rena had been in this state.

As her best friend, Chloe asked Philip about Rena. "Hey, Philip, what's up with Rena these past few days? She seems really down."

Philip nodded. "Yeah, I've noticed she's been really low. I even asked her to play basketball after school yesterday, but she didn't come."

Philip was puzzled. He had no idea why his good friend Rena was acting this way.

"I'll go ask her what's going on." Chloe stood up and went to talk to Rena. Unlike their usual candid conversations, Rena seemed particularly cautious today.

Instead of directly asking Rena what was wrong, Chloe invited her to dinner.

"Rena, are you free tonight? I've been craving some Southwestern food. Want to join me?"

Rena initially wanted to agree, but after thinking for a moment, she declined. "Sorry, Chloe, I have something to do tonight. Maybe another time?"

Rena's refusal took Chloe by surprise. As far as she knew, Rena didn't have many friends. Apart from being close to Philip and herself, they were the few she interacted with.

'She even refused a simple dinner invitation from me?' Chloe wondered internally.

It seemed that Rena was definitely hiding something. Chloe pondered this, noting that Rena's actions were somewhat out of character.

filled with doubt and curiosity, Chloe maintained her composure. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's do it another day then." Chloe's face still held a warm smile, but her inner doubts deepened. She knew that Rena's refusal wasn't without reason; perhaps Rena had a difficult problem that she couldn't easily share.
