Chapter 220

Chapter 220 " Once I overheard classmates talking badly about Annika behind her back , and I got into a big argument with them . My kindness to her was genuine - it wasn't just to make myself look better … " Lucia buried her face in her hands , her shoulders trembling as she cried . Thalia didn't know how to comfort her and simply patted her back gently . " Maybe I really did make a mistake , " Lucia choked out . " Annika was so sensitive and insecure .

I should have considered her pride … " Thalia sighed . " You need to be more careful about who you befriend in the future … " After crying for a while , Lucia's eyes were red when they reached her home . The car stopped . Lucia wiped her tears .

" Thalia glanced at the colorful , elegant gift boxes piled on her desk . She felt slightly exasperated . " I'm not injured . Why buy so many supplements ? " " You don't need to be injured to take them , " Asher said , gently patting her head .

don't put yourself in danger like that . " Thalia pressed her lips together , saying nothing . Asher left . Thalia remained standing there , lost in thought . The moment his broad palm had gently touched her head , her heart had skipped a beat . It had hern a long time sure they'd shared such intimacy That afternoon .
