NovelEnglishChapter 716 I can barely bring myself to think about yesterday's antics. Even through a screen, I could feel my cheeks burning up.
And yet, I'm baffled. How does he have so much energy? He was the one doing all the heavy lifting, after all. I was about to reply when the doorbell rang.
I got up to answer it and was greeted by Christine's pallid face. I quickly shot Greg a message, then pulled Christine into the kitchen to sit down.
"Bet you haven't eaten anything yet." I ladled schicken soup for her.

Elmwood Villas.
Christine accepted the bowl of soup but didn't drink any, listlessly resting her chin in her hand.
I served her a shrimp dumpling, joking, "Did you chere just to show off that pretty but gloomy face of yours?" Christine didn't crack a smile, instead, she heaved a sigh.
I was clueless, "What's going on, really?" She ran her fingers through her hair, looking frustrated.
A thought struck me, "Is it... Dailey?" Christine let out a weak hum.
I remembered the mess from yesterday and asked, "What happened after Greg and I left? Did you guys end up fighting?" "In a civilized society?

"Of course it's not completely over, but I don't have a strong desire to be with him anymore. So, I need to crush his hopes once and for all, or he'll keep thinking I'm still into him."
