Chapter 95 You Just Walked Along the Same Path?
As Whitney and Noel emerged from the small wooded area, their proximity didn’t go unnoticed, and the implication of them being alone together seemed to hang in the air.
Especially since Noel overheard it.
Whitney glanced at him, his expression remained impassive, as if the situation didn’t concern him at all.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. We just walked along the same path, then stopped briefly to look at the new stargazing cabins and tree houses being built near the edge of the valley,” Whitney explained, stirring away any mention of their earlier tension, his rescue, and her confrontation with Rachel. Her summary was brief and to the point.
“You just walked along the same path?” Thomas summed up, clearly enjoying the moment as he turned to Noel. “How was the walk?”
Noel didn’t respond to his playful tease and replied indifferently, “Why don’t you try it yourself?”
Thomas expected a cold, sharp glare as usual.
Noel was not one to respond to teasing, yet he had given an answer this time.
He seemed to be in good spirits compared to his earlier cold demeanor.
What had happened that he didn’t know about? Thomas was curious that it must have something to do
with the woods.
Yvette nudged Whitney, gesturing ahead with her chin and pouted, “Look who’s here. Damian and that fox, Rachel, clinging to him like a shadow. Same as some other people.”
Whitney glanced over to the bonfire where Damian stood, surrounded by a small group engaged in conversation, with Rachel seemingly making introductions.
Yvette’s remark also caught Thomas’s attention. He turned to her and complained, “How did I become
