Chapter 26 Memorizing Beauty II
Dickson, who had been sitting comfortably beside Liam up until now, suddenly tensed. He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but something was definitely off. He nudged Liam sharply with his elbow, his voice low yet urgent as he muttered, "Bro, she’s coming our way."
Liam turned his head slightly, his eyes narrowing as he noticed exactly who Dickson was talking about. Walking toward them with graceful confidence was none other than Ann, the girl who effortlessly commanded attention wherever she went.
The moment she began approaching, the field fell into an eerie silence, yet the tension in the air thickened considerably. It was as if an invisible war had erupted, one where the participants were exchanging unspoken words through their gazes alone.
Liam, ever so composed, didn’t move a muscle. Instead, he merely smiled as Ann drew closer, his demeanor exuding nothing but calm amusement. When she finally stood before him, she returned his smile, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
Liam tilted his head slightly as he spoke, his voice smooth yet teasing. "You really do know how to steal the show, don’t you?"
That single exchange was all it took to send another shockwave across the entire field.
Everyone watching from the sidelines had their mouths slightly open, their minds struggling to process the absurdity of what they were witnessing.
Liam.
Liam Carter.
The same Liam Carter who had been at the center of a hundred different rumors, who barely attended school events, who was known for being reckless and doing whatever he pleased—was talking to Ann.
And she was smiling at him.
