Chapter 208: Promised!
Alex and Aurora ignored Patrick completely, their attention fully captured by each other. They exchanged loving glances while gently squeezing each other’s hands.
"Heck no!!" Patrick finally broke the silence to get Alex’s attention. "Are you fucking serious, Alex?" he asked, but Alex simply ignored him.
It’s hard for Patrick to accept. In his mind, Zee appeared to be someone closer to his age; however, this young woman was just twenty-two and had already established herself as the most formidable hacker he had ever encountered.
Patrick struggled to recall when he first met Zee—it must have been eight or nine years ago. If she truly is Zee, this girl has already become a skilled hacker in her early teens.
He narrowed his eyes at Aurora for a few moments before asking, "It’s impossible you are Zee! How could you be this young? If you are Zee, you were 13 years old when I knew you..."
Aurora was utterly speechless when she realized how right he was.
’If only you knew I’m Aurora Moon, you’d probably believe it immediately, Patrick.’ She expresses her frustration in his mind, struggling to find the right words to respond.
As Aurora managed to find the right words to respond to Patrick, suddenly Alex spoke, "Patrick, we only informed you. We didn’t ask you to believe it or not."
Patrick, "...."
Aurora gazed at Patrick, who remained skeptical of Alex’s words. Finally, she smiled teasingly and said, "Well, Patrick, you’re right. I’ve been a computer whiz since childhood and became Zee in my teens. Why are you so surprised to learn that?"
"No way! Seriously? You are Zee?" Patrick was even more shocked to hear Aurora’s confirmation.
