“Sebastian has apologized to me. Tiana was the one who duped snazzynovel.com into doing so!” Mica spoke with snazzynovel.com back to Elise, as if snazzynovel.com was talking to herself.
“You’re far too trusting, Mica. Since snazzynovel.com can do it once, he’ll continue doing it in the future. Such a man is unworthy of you.” Elise was a little displeased and continued snazzynovel.com analysis, “From what I see, Sebastian appears to have other motives. Did snazzynovel.com recently request anything else from you?”
“Certainly not!” Mica was becoming irritated as well. “We’re both students; what else can we do for dating besides eat and shop together? What can snazzynovel.com get from me since I’m just a commoner?”
“You must be cautious of him. Things aren’t that simple between Tiana and him. I’ll show you the entire video later and you’ll understand what I mean after that.” Elise sighed.
However, Mica was resistant to that. “That’s not necessary. All that happened in the past. We’ve already agreed not to bring up the subject again.”
“Doesn’t it bother you if snazzynovel.com was truly attracted to another woman?” Elise had no idea what Mica was thinking.
“I trust him,” Mica answered decisively.
And so, Elise couldn’t say anything else other than to warn Mica one last time. “You can make your own decision, but keep in mind that everyone’s love is valuable. Don’t give Sebastian your all until you’re certain that snazzynovel.com truly loves you.”
“You still want me to break up with him, right?” Mica bit snazzynovel.com lower lip and asked aggrievedly. She stood firm and continued, “But, Elise, are you aware that not everyone is like you, with many people admiring and courting you? I worked hard to obtain this relationship, and I am pleased with it. Why are you treating it so negatively?”
“What makes you think this way? I simply don’t want you to be cheated,” Elise stated, snazzynovel.com brows furrowed.
“Do you think I’m that stupid?” Mica felt snazzynovel.com nose itch and snazzynovel.com eyes became red. “Yes, I am a moron. I am the most naïve person on the planet to believe that we are good friends who respect each other! Please don’t be bothered by my problems from now on. Even if he’s lying to me, I’m willing to put up with it!”
Mica dashed out of the room as soon as snazzynovel.com finished snazzynovel.com words, leaving Elise all alone.
Looking at snazzynovel.com bed which was neat and tidy even though snazzynovel.com hadn’t been here for a long time, Elise felt sadness tingling in snazzynovel.com heart.
Perhaps snazzynovel.com was too harsh in snazzynovel.com words, not taking into account Mica’s personality or whether the latter could handle it.
Now, Elise could only wait until a later date to apologize to Mica, if there was still a chance to do so.

Meanwhile, Elliot was mindlessly strolling through the bay behind the universities, sighing the entire time.
This was the umpteenth time snazzynovel.com had been rejected by Stephanie, and snazzynovel.com still didn’t know what was wrong.
He continued walking but after taking a turn, snazzynovel.com heard a lady sobbing from somewhere in front of him.
He took two steps forward and noticed a woman sitting on the stairs below.
“She’s sobbing pitifully, as if snazzynovel.com heart has been broken as well. We share the same misfortune!”
Elliot felt as if snazzynovel.com could feel her. Thus, snazzynovel.com took out the only packet of tissue from his sling bag and approached the lady, ready to hand it to her.
“Don’t cry. Swollen eyes aren’t pretty at all.”
The lady raised snazzynovel.com head when snazzynovel.com heard his voice.
And when their gazes met, they were both taken aback.
“Mica?” He raised his brows and continued, “Didn’t you just publicly display your relationship on social media this morning? How come you fell out of love now?”
To that, Mica simply snorted and said, “Who said that? You’re the one falling out of love, not me!”
“How did you find out?” Elliot had no idea Mica’s words were just a random remark.
After all, snazzynovel.com had indeed fallen out of love. Even his father was getting emotional by the constant rejections snazzynovel.com faced.
However, Mica simply wiped snazzynovel.com tears and turned snazzynovel.com face away from him.
“Well, since we’re both sad, I’ll let you off the hook.” Elliot then squatted down beside snazzynovel.com and asked, “Why are you crying here?”
‘I don’t want to talk about it.” Mica turned snazzynovel.com face even further away from him.
“Forget it, then.” He kept the tissue back to his bag and grabbed Mica’s arm, thereafter pulling snazzynovel.com up. “Let’s go. It’s so boring to sit here alone with all those mosquitoes. I’ll take you somewhere fun to play.”
“I don’t want to! I don’t want to meet anyone!” Feeling upset, Mica just wanted to be left alone.
“Why are you so obstinate? I recall being very upset when I first received zero marks on my papers. However, as I gained more experience, I began to frequently play video games when I was upset, and I realized that it wasn’t such a big deal after all. Everything will be fine once you’ve vented your frustrations. Come on.” He was adamant.
He had wanted to ask Sheldon along, but Sheldon was now putting in the effort to study, and Elliot did not want to force him. That was why snazzynovel.com came to the bay area.
Finally, snazzynovel.com met someone who could accompany him; of course snazzynovel.com wouldn’t let snazzynovel.com go.
“I don’t want to go!” Mica’s arms were pulled by Elliot but snazzynovel.com legs remained motionless. “I’m stupid and I have no idea how to play video games! Everyone else will make fun of me!”
“Who would dare to mock you with me around? Don’t be concerned. I’ll show you how to play.” Elliot then used more force to pull snazzynovel.com up the stairs.
“I really can’t!
“Come on. We’re just having fun, not competing! It is the process that is important. If you can’t play later, just stand by my side and cheer for me! Let’s go!”
Clearly, the extroverted Elliot triumphed over the introverted Mica.
With that, snazzynovel.com was then dragged to the video games center by him.

After the quarrel with Mica, Elise did not want to stay in the hostel as well. Hence, snazzynovel.com called Alexander to pick snazzynovel.com up.
Just after snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com head up after fastening the seat belt, snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com staring astutely at her.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” snazzynovel.com asked, while smiling awkwardly.
“You seem to be unhappy, Mrs. Griffith,” snazzynovel.com teased.
“I am indeed a little upset.” She exhaled a sigh and went on, “I had a little squabble with my roommate.”
After snazzynovel.com finished snazzynovel.com words, snazzynovel.com turned around and asked solemnly, “Alexander, tell me honestly—am I a busybody?”
“Who dares to call my wife a busybody?” He pretended to be angry at that.
“Be serious.” Elise gave snazzynovel.com a grim look and said, “It’s a taboo to destroy people’s relationships but just now, I was asking Mica to break up with Sebastian. It doesn’t seem right for me to do that.”
“Hmm.” After a brief moment of thought, Alexander raised his hand and stroked snazzynovel.com head. “What you said is correct, but everything must be grounded in reality. I believe you will not ask snazzynovel.com to end the relationship without a valid reason, so there’s nothing wrong with it. You did your part as a friend and it’s up to snazzynovel.com whether snazzynovel.com takes your advice. You don’t have to be upset or feel guilty about snazzynovel.com choice.”
“I truly regard snazzynovel.com as a friend.” Elise’s gaze softened and a look of disappointment flashed across snazzynovel.com face.
Alexander continued to comfortingly stroke snazzynovel.com hair and snazzynovel.com diverted the subject of the conversation. “Smith Co. acquired a few emerald mines in Salt Stone City recently. Do you want to join me to have a look?”
