Chapter 902
But maybe it was just the distance of a screen-maybe she was overthinking it.
[Want to play? I should have some time tonight.] Charlotte offered.
This time, the reply came quickly. [Sure. I’ll form a team-wait for me.]
They entered the game soon after.
Charlotte picked things up fast. She was no longer as clumsy as before. Though she wasn’t the main damage dealer, her coordination was excellent, and they won three matches in a row. 1
By then, the car had already arrived at her doorstep.
She logged out and sent a message.
[I’m switching networks. Give me a moment.]
[You just got home?]
Back in her room, Charlotte saw his message and replied: [Yeah, just got back.]
[You were out all day?]
[Pretty much. What about you? What were you busy with today?]
A smile curved at Charlotte’s lips.
It was rare for Noah to ask about her life. For some reason, it made her heart flutter.
[I spent the day with a friend too. Went out for a bit.]
[A friend? Someone from your organization?]
A hint of concern surfaced in her mind.
Noah had told her before-he was being watched. At a time like this, wouldn’t it be safer to stay alone?
But then again… having friends was better than drifting alone, rootless and adrift. At least this way, he wouldn’t seem so pitiful.
[Enough about me. Tell me about you.]
Suddenly, his reply cut the topic short.
[About me?]
[Yeah. How was your day?]
(It was alright, I guess.]

[Just… not annoying?]
Warmth crept into Charlotte’s chest. She stared at the screen for a long while before replying.

Ethan might have feelings for her, but in her heart… he was, at most, a friend.
[Why?] came the quick reply.
Because…
She typed and deleted the words over and over, hesitating for a long time before finally gathering the courage to send:
[Because… there’s someone I like.]
[Who is it?]
Charlotte felt he was asking a question he already knew the answer to. Even through the screen, her face flushed red.
She didn’t respond. After a moment, she changed the subject.
[Alright, I answered your question. Your turn. You went out with a friend today-did you have fun?]
This time, it took much longer for Noah to reply.
[I did. I was happy being with her. Just… I’m not sure she felt the same.]
