Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Damon strode out of the lounge , his mood soaring from the depths of frustration to an unexpected high .

it it .

Damon was well aware that his walking was entirely due to Leias lack of communication these past few days .

Though hed never admit it .

Da In the past , whether his race was a major event or just a local competition , Leis always made an effort to cheer him on .

If her classes conflicted with his schedule , she would even request leave from school just to attend .

Damon had often told Leis it wasnt necessary to come every time , but she always showed up with her warm smile to support him .

This unwavering dedication from Leia had always touched Damon , which is why he went to such lengths to protect her .

But this time , things were different .

Before he left , he had criticized Harley , someone Leia liked .

His words had been harsh , and when he departed , Leia didnt even bother to see him off .

It was only after others , including Noelle , cheered him on that Leis reluctantly added her own half hearted encouragement The incident left a bitter taste in Damons mouth .

During his training sessions , he purposely avoided calling or texting Leia , hoping to see when she might reach out first .

But now , on the day of his race , Leia hadnt even sent him a single message , let alone appeared in person .

Damon kept telling himself Leia was busy with university life and military training .

She couldnt be as attentive as before .

But surely her phone wasnt completely off limits 24 hours a day .

Her silence seemed to prove one thing she no longer cared about him .

Damon thought , Was it really just because of Harley ? Was Leia willing to turn her back on me because of that one argument ? These thoughts gnawed at Damon , leaving him increasingly irritable .

His frustrations even started affecting his performance during the race .

But now , the news that his mother and sister had come to see him made everything better .

It reassured him that , in Leias heart , family still mattered more than Harley Damon quickly made his way toward the reception area .

Damon , someone called out as they exited the room .

He stopped and asked , Are my mother and sister inside ? Yes , theyre waiting for you .
