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

Chapter 489

Chapter 489: I’m in Love with Somto?!

For a moment, the room was quiet, just the two of them, basking in the afterglow of shared thoughts and steady silence.

But even silence between them didn’t feel awkward. It felt... comfortable.

Safe.

"Your office here is really cool," Nnenna said, her eyes darting around with curiosity. She wondered how many other secret compartments it had.

"I know," Somto replied with a small, amused smile.

"By the way, when did you come back?" she asked, turning back to him.

"This morning," Somto said casually.

Nnenna’s eyes widened. "Wait... don’t tell me you rushed here overnight?"

Somto chuckled at her shocked expression. "I did."

"Why??" Her voice rose with concern. "You could’ve just waited till this morning! Were you even able to finish what you were working on?"

He most likely rushed over to teach me...

She suddenly felt like she was being a troublemaker, and guilt crept into her tone.

"Well," Somto began with a shrug, "you need the best person to teach you strategy. And that’s me. So how could I not rush back?"

Nnenna blinked at him.

He leaned back a little, voice softer now, "Didn’t you tell me to come back soon?"

She nodded, caught off guard by the tenderness behind his words.

"And," he added, with a small but honest smile, "I missed you. So using that as an excuse to return? Perfect."

Nnenna stared at him, her heart doing a strange little flip.
