Wesley was endlessly grateful to Feena, as if he could already envision a future where he had built a love nest and grown old with a gentle and beautiful woman from the music academy.
At that moment, Sidney teased with a smile, "Feena, don't just worry about others. You need to take care of your own love life too!"
Lyla chimed in, "Yeah! There are so many guys at the academy chasing after you. Isn't there at least one that catches your eye? Are you really planning to stay single until graduation?"
Sidney added, "Feena, you have to step up! I even heard that you and Luca are pretty close. If you two got together, it would be a perfect match!"
Feena glanced at Jack, but seeing that he remained calm and unaffected, she simply shook her head and denied it.
"Stop making things up! There's nothing between us."
"Really? You and Luca have absolutely nothing going on?"
After Feena firmly confirmed it again, Lyla suddenly became excited and whispered mysteriously, "Feena, do you remember that Kranard exchange student from last semester—the one who played the saxophone?"
Sidney immediately responded, "Oh, you mean the guy who's rumored to be royal?"
"Yes, yes! That's him!" Lyla nodded vigorously before continuing, "I heard he really likes you and is planning a grand romantic confession soon. You'd better be prepared!"
Just as Feena was about to respond, the kitchen door opened, and her mother walked out carrying a fruit platter.
She set it down and asked with concern, "What are you kids chatting about? Come, eat some fruit!"
To avoid making the topic awkward for both Feena and her mother, Lyla quickly changed the subject, "Oh, nothing, Mrs. Barrett! We were just talking about music."
Before long, Feena's mother, Chloe Lowell, finished preparing the meal.
