The familiarity between the two was Whispers rippled through the crowd .
Are they a couple ! They sure look like it .
Totally a perfect match .
Leias heart swelled with pride upon hearing someone describe her and Harley as a picture perfect pair .
Her chin lifted slightly higher , her steps carrying an extra air of triumph To everyones shock , however , Harley didnt address Leia first .
Instead , his sharp gaze softened , and a cool smile played on his lips as he greeted the girl standing behind Leia .
elle .
What a coincidence were in the same class , Huh ? Noelle glanced up at him , a little surprised .
Ever since running into Harley at the mall , it seemed fate had a funny way of throwing them together .
First , he turned out to be Leias high school classmate , and now they were in the same university class .
After a moments thought , Noelle decided it wouldnt hurt to get along with Harley .
A radiant smile spread across her face .
Yeah , what a coincidence Harley , it seems like were really fated to be friends .
Can you believe we ended up in the same class It does feel like fate .
Harley replied , his thin lips curving upward in a genuine smile .
Fate , indeed be had spent 100 thousand dollars to make sure theyd end up in the same class .
1 thought Harley and the other girl were a couple , but it turns out hes interested in the one behind her .
Its a pity that the girl was so enthusiastic , but it turned out to be wishful thinking Oh no , that poor girl the must be so embarrassed now Lesa suffened at the whispers swirling around them , her checks burning .
As the Anderson familys beloved princess , she had never experienced such humiliation before .
Harleys indifference cut deep What had she done to deserve this Why was Harley treating her this way ! As her eyes brimmed with rears of frustration , Harley suddenly turned to look at her .
Leia , I left in a hurry the other day without saying goodbye .
Im sorry , he said , has toter neutral .
Leia išlinked , stunned .
Harley was apologizing to me ? She hadnt even been upset about his sudden departure , but the fact that he remembered and cared enough to bring it up rekindled her hope ..
He still cares about me Leia tlenught , her heart swelling with sweetness .
Her smile brightened as she shook her head .
Its okay , Harley Dont worry about it .
You mustve had something important to do .
I managed just .
fine on my wall How about I treat you both to lunch today as an apology Harley offered casually , 1/2 9:29 AM c Chapter 40 Leia beamed .
Youre too kind .
Its the least I can do .
Harley replied .
Harley didnt exactly like Leia , but he wasnt oblivious to the fact that storming off the other day had been a mistake .
Besides , Leia was Noelles sister , and for Noelles sake , he couldnt afford to let things sour too much between them .
With these considerations in mind .
Harley decided to apologize .
Harley thought , And as a bonus ? The apology could double as an excuse to invite Noelle out for a meal .
Two birds , one stone The class soon headed to the field for the opening ceremony .
Harley naturally walked beside Noelle , while Leia hovered close to his other side .
However , Harleys attention was almost exclusively on Noelle .
He kept a subtle but protective watch over her , steering her away from potential collisions with the bustling crowd .
Leia couldnt suppress her jealousy any longer .
Forcing a smile , she said , Harley , Noelles not a child .
You dont have to coddle her so much itll only spoil her .
Huh ? Noelle , who hadnt noticed Harleys attentiveness , tilted her head and looked at him curiously .
Harley , whats up ? There are a lot of people around .
Just being careful so you dont get bumped , Harley replied , his tone matter of fact Noelle frowned slightly , clearly unimpressed .
Are you doubting my reflexes ! Harley said .
I didnt mean I could walk through this crowd with my eyes closed , and no one would touch me .
Watch .
Before Harley could react , Noelle shut her eyes and began weaving through the crowd with confident , fluid movements , her petite frame slipping through gaps effortlessly .
Noelle ! Harley started to move after her , but a low murmur from nearby stopped him in his tracks .
Whoa , whos that ? Is she a freshuman ? Shes adorable .
Harley turned his head to see a group of male students staring unabashedly at Noelle , their eyes practically sparkling It wasnt surprising .
Noelles beauty was striking , but there was also an air of innocence about her that drew people in .
Her petite stature , porcelain like skin , and delicate features made her look like a living doll under the morning sunlight .
Even the faint peach fuzz on her cheeks only added to her charm .
Shes stunning .
Quick , take a picture ! One of the boys pulled out his phone , but before he could snap a shot , a hand shot out and blocked his Startled , he looked up straight into Harleys cold , cutting glare .
