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

Chapter 486

Chapter 486: Just Let me Disappear in Peace

The very moment her eyes met theirs, both of them quickly looked away, pretending to dive into some sudden, serious discussion.

Too smooth.

They were obviously trying to help her save face, but that somehow made it even more embarrassing. Nnenna groaned internally.

She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. With no better option, she buried her head further into Somto’s chest like an ostrich hiding in plain sight, convincing herself that if she could not see them, they could not see her either.

Somto chuckled lightly and whispered, "You do know your head is the only part hidden, right?"

"Shhh... Let me disappear in peace," she mumbled into his shirt.

But while she was busy trying to vanish, she missed the subtle shift in the room’s energy. Arthur stood a few feet away, stiff and quiet, his eyes locked on the scene like they were betraying him. He didn’t blink. He didn’t breathe.

And he definitely didn’t smile.

He had suspected it, strongly, but never wanted to believe it was real. Not completely.

But now? Seeing them together like this...

He never thought the two of them were actually for real.

When did it start? Somto hadn’t even been in Prigrian for the past few months. Arthur had always thought he was the one standing in the way, he was the reason he hesitated with Nnenna.

But now, it seemed she had never really been available. Just like he had quietly feared. But refused to believe it.
