Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 53

Mikayla’s father, Luke, came back around dinnertime. As everyone sat together around the dining room, Elise couldn’t help but feel comfortable around them.

“Don’t be shy, Elise. Make yourself at home.” Luke then turned toward Matthew and said again, “Thank you guys for being our Mikayla’s friends and taking care of her.”

“Dad, do you know that Elise is super smart? She got first place in both the Mathematical Olympiad and Chinese Week’s speech competition. She’s literally my

idol!”

“You have much to learn from Elise, then.”

 

Mikayla stuck her tongue out in embarrassment. “Of course. She’s my idol, after all.”

The warm sight of the family being chatty put Elise in an absentminded state, and to hide her emotions, she slightly lowered her head to keep her expression out of sight.

 

After dinner, Elise and Matthew left Mikayla’s house.

On the way back, she couldn’t help but lean back on her seat and close her eyes to pretend to be asleep. Nevertheless, the image of her being with her parents years ago kept flashing past her mind when she closed her eyes. Despite the memories being old, the images were still crystal clear.

Right then, Elise opened her eyes and looked out of the window before a streak of tears fell from her eye.

“It’s the weekend tomorrow. Do you have any plans?” Matthew asked out of the blue, breaking her out of her thoughts. Immediately, Elise looked away and answered lightly, “I’ll probably work on my assignments.”

Then, Matthew asked again, “I heard that a new hot spring spa opened in the west region of Athesea. Do you want to go to the spa together?”

Elise shook her head. “Nah. I don’t really like hot springs.”
