Chapter 61
On the other end of the phone, Lucian let out a long sigh.
“It’s not going to be that easy, you know. Lemon is genuinely hurt p>
He had tried to please Lemira during this period, but to no avail. Today, Lemira even left the dining room and hadn’t returned home or responded to any messages.
If it was in the past, he would have sent someone to find her, even threatening to call the police. But now, Lucian was afraid of making Lemira angry, so he had no choice but to wait for her to reach out. Above all, he was wary of that mysterious school doctor. No wonder they couldn’t find Lemira before.
Alaric didn’t buy it, “Lucian, Lemira has been close to us since we were kids. We’re her favorite brothers, aren’t we? I believe if I just explain the misunderstandings and sweet-talk her a bit, everything will be fine.” Lucian frowned, “Stay away from her until her exams are over p>
“I know my limits p>
Alaric hung up directly, confident in how to please Lemira.
He simply hadn’t wanted to make the effort before. A piece of cake. Alaric pulled out his phone and sent Lemira
message.
After logging off her game and getting back to her room, ready for washing up and then bed, Lemira saw an unread message and thought it might be from Lucian.
But unexpectedly, it was Alaric. [Lemira, let’s meet at the cafe across the school after classes tomorrow. I need to talk to you p>
Lemira glanced at it, remembered the slap she had received, promptly deleted Alaric’s contact, and then slept soundly, feeling refreshed.
The next day, Orion didn’t have work, so she took a cab to school alone.
Near the school, she noticed a crowd gathered around a flashy car; judging from how the person in the car dressed, she concluded he was clearly not from their school. As she got out of the taxi, someone shouted, “Lemira’s here p>
The crowd by the car dispersed quickly, revealing a handsome boy in uniform getting out of the car. Except his gaze made Lemira uncomfortable.
She recognized him. Dorian from the private school next door, also Evelina’s crush.
She hadn’t expected him to come looking for her.
“You’re Lemira? Pretty good-looking,” Dorian said nonchalantly.
Lemira looked up, her eyes clear and her features captivating.
Dorian smiled, satisfied, “I’m Dorian. I’d like to be your friend.” His words caused a stir among the girls nearby.
“Mr. Draven sure is direct. So cool p>
“I’ve heard he gets a new girlfriend every month, and the number of exes is anyone’s guess. Still, some fall for him p>
“Mr. Draven’s family is rich, and he’s generous. Most girls can’t resist p>
“Lemira’s family is wealthy, but not compared to the Orvin clan p>
The corner of Lemira’s lips twitched as she heard the comments.
Because in her past life, Dorian had said the same thing. But it was to Evelina. How ridiculous!
At that moment, Evelina stepped out of the car, her face contorting upon seeing Dorian standing in front of Lemira, and thought Lemira had an ulterior motive towards Dorian.
Evelina approached directly, “Lemmy, you didn’t come home last night; Lucian was worried sick. You’re being entangled with that school doctor. How could you spend the night outside with him p>
Hearing it, Dorian frowned, seemingly surprised that Lemira, who looked so innocent, could have such a liberated personal life.
Lemira gave Evelina a mocking smile, making Evelina shiver.
“Lemmy, are you mad? I’m just worried you were deceived by that man, that’s why I reminded you p>
Lemira averted her gaze, her tone ice-cold, “Save your fake concern p>
