They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 16: The Most Beautiful Girl

He wasn't the type to waste time or energy on things he considered irrelevant. And yet...he had made time to visit this girl, a girl who couldn't seem to stop talking.

Four's gaze flickered toward her, his expression unreadable. 'Why would he bother visiting her?'

For the first time since she had entered the room, Four felt something other than irritation toward her. He felt curiosity.

Since when did Prince Somto start caring enough to visit someone four times in four months?

That was an anomaly for a man of his caliber and reputation, especially given his relentless focus on his work and his impossibly busy schedule.

Four's curiosity deepened as he shifted his gaze from the book to the girl sitting across from him.

For the first time, he truly looked at her. His sharp eyes swept over her figure, analyzing every detail like she was a puzzle he couldn't quite piece together.

The sudden attention made Nnenna freeze mid sentence. Her usual chatter came to an abrupt halt as she locked eyes with him, her heart thumping unexpectedly under his intense scrutiny.

Four's expression remained unreadable as he continued his silent evaluation. 'What am I missing here?' he wondered. He searched for something, anything, that could explain why Prince Somto had bothered to visit her.
