Chapter 520: You’re not Mischievous Now?

Nnenna chuckled as she carefully folded the papers back into her bag. "Told you it wasn’t a walk in the park."

"Girl, that wasn’t a park. That was Mount Doom, and you strolled through it like a tourist with a camera."

Nnenna paused, the comment sticking in her mind.

Carl had been in a ridiculously good mood for the past few months, laughing more, teasing more, even giving people surprise coffee cups and random mentoring sessions. So... no, he definitely wasn’t pissed off.

Which only meant one thing.

He had been smiling happily while creating those questions.

He had written death and destruction in academic form, with joy in his heart.

The realization sent a small shiver down her spine.
