Chapter 24: She Hacked My Phone?
David was stunned when he saw Aurora step forward to approach Max. He was about to hold her but suddenly stopped when he realized something.
’Geez, Aurora, you’re so daring, want to punch Max yourself!? Alright, girl, you can slap or punch him as you want. I’ll be your backup if he tries to return it...’ He feels an adrenaline rush as he anticipates what will happen next.
David wants to see Maxwell Hamilton get what he deserves.
’How could this jerk Max reject a girl like that? He even voiced his rejection loudly, drawing several pairs of eyes in their direction, only to humiliate Aurora!?’
...
Max’s eyes widened as he stared at Aurora in confusion. Seeing how calm she was, without a trace of anger or sadness, he realized she must be shocked by his harsh rejection.
’Oh no, she must be traumatized, right?’ Max wondered, feeling terrible. The thought made him feel a little sorry for her.
"A-Aurora, I’m sorry if my words have truly hurt you. But..." His voice trailed off when he saw Aurora lift her hand and place her finger on his lips to silence him.
He froze, taken aback.
This was the first time he had seen Aurora act so boldly, daring to face him and gaze calmly into his eyes, even touching his lips.
’She smiled...? Why does she look so different?’ Max felt increasingly confused as he observed the confident and dominating smile that flashed across her lips.
