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

Chapter 438

Chapter 437: Someone She Could Trust

Her words were soft, but they struck Carl like thunder.

His chest tightened unexpectedly, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. He stared at her, stunned. But he quickly composed himself, hiding the ripple of emotion beneath his usual calm.

“…Alright,” he said, voice lower than before. “But I don’t think you should stay here. Let me take you home.”

Nnenna shook her head again, this time with a gentle smile.

“No, I’m fine,” she replied. “If classes have been canceled for the day, then I want to use the time to study in the library. I want to stay productive.”

Carl frowned slightly, worry lingering in his eyes. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” she said with more confidence this time, already turning toward the door. “I’ll head there now.”

“…Okay.” Carl nodded slowly, watching her figure fade through the exit.

Once outside the hall, Nnenna walked down the stone path, taking in the serene landscape of Omniora Academy. The trees swayed softly with the wind, and the distant chatter of students felt oddly distant, like echoes from a faraway world.

Her footsteps were slow, unhurried. A calm expression settled over her face.

But her mind?
