Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 178

"Yolanda, let's head home together today! I'm heading to my aunt's house for dinner, and it's on the way," Bryce suggested.

"Bryce, I thought I made it clear before," Yolanda replied. She had already found Gavin and didn't want Bryce to misunderstand that he still had a chance.

They could be friends, but if Bryce had other intentions, she would need to keep her distance.

"Yolanda, you're misunderstanding me. I don't know you well enough yet," Bryce explained. "You don't have to feel burdened. I only see you as a friend."

"And I came to find you today to talk about the art festival at the academy," he added. "You haven't signed up yet, have you? I remember you used to sing beautifully. Why not try performing at the festival?"

"I'm not interested," Yolanda said curtly as she turned to leave.

However, Bryce hurried after her. "I remember you loved singing! This is your first art festival at the academy, so you should participate! The registration deadline is approaching. Please do consider it!"

Bryce felt that Yolanda needed more interaction with her classmates. He hoped she could make more friends through the festival.

Yolanda knew that even if she expressed her disinterest, Bryce would continue to persuade her. So, she decided to remain silent.

After leaving the academy, she walked along the small road toward the subway station, with Bryce still trailing behind her.

"Yolanda, are you not considering it? If it's too much trouble for you, I can sign you up," Bryce said awkwardly as he scratched his head, trying to keep the conversation going.

"I understand how you feel right now. The rumors are just rumors. Once people know and understand you, they'll see what a wonderful person you are."
