CHAPTER 20

“I can’t, Fely. I’m sorry.”

I expected this. I looked down and breathe heavily.

After calming myself, I looked at him and smiled.

“That’s okay, I just tried my luck. Thank you.” I stood up and walked away.

I called my Mom and told her what happened. As expected, she was disappointed.

She told me she’ll talk to the Beatrix to inform them that I agreed to the engagement.

Mom texted me to meet with Brx after my class. I sighed and replied, “Okay,” before putting my phone back inside my bag.

I walked back to our room and sat in my seat. I was staring at the ceiling the whole time our professors are discussing in front.

Drake did not attend the class for the first time. I was a bit guilty because I know it’s because of what I said. I’m planning to apologize to him once we saw each other again.

After class, I went outside the school campus and looked for a cab to go to the restaurant Mom was talking about.
