Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 48

Alice looked up and saw her homeroom teacher, then Noah standing outside the classroom. She pursed her lips and went outside. Her expression was impassive.“If you want me to take notes for Chloe, don’t even bother.” She knew Noah was there to excuse Chloe’s absence. He’d probably ask her to take notes and bring home assignments for Chloe.

Noah felt a knot in his chest.“Alice, is that really how you see me?”

Alice was impatient.“Are you done?”

Alice paused. How did he know? Her gaze was suspicious. What was he implying?

Noah saw her expression and knew it was true. He felt a pang of regret. Why hadn’t he noticed Alice’s changes, her kindness towards Chloe? They’d favored Chloe, ignoring Alice’s need for

attention.

Alice was annoyed.“Why are you asking? Are you bored?”

“Alice, just answer yes or no.”

“Does it matter?”

Alice stepped back, creating distance. Her expression was stubborn. “Noah, if you’re truly sorry. and want to make amends, don’t bother me until after my exams!”
