Chapter 177

Elijah stood beside his car on the first floor of the apartment as he spoke on the phone.

Some time seemed to have passed when Zoe’s voice rang out from behind. “Elijah.”

“That is all for now,” he said in a low voice into the phone.

After he put his phone away and looked in the direction the voice came from, his gaze froze when he saw Leanna.

Zoe, who noticed this, raised her eyebrows in content when she saw that her plan had bore fruit.

Leanna gave him an apologetic smile then. “Sorry for making you wait,” she said.

Elijah snapped back to reality the moment he heard her words. “N-No worries… I haven’t been here for long.”

“Let’s be on our way, then,” Zoe urged while holding back her laugh. “The concert is about to start.”

He nodded in response. “Hop in.”

On the way to the concert, Zoe kept talking to Elijah to liven up the mood as Leanna enjoyed the fresh air outside with the car window slightly lowered.

The weather that day was pleasant. The sun that shone bright made the weather much warmer than it was in the past few days.

When Zoe noticed Leanna’s attention was elsewhere, she leaned forward a little and whispered, “Can I ask you something, Elijah?”

“Sure. Ask away,” said Elijah.

“Have you been in any relationship these few years?”

“No.” He must not have expected such a question from Zoe, as his answer came sounding slightly startled.

“And why is that?”

He smiled when he saw Leanna leaning against the window through the rear-view mirror. “Probably because I haven’t found someone suitable,” he murmured.

Hearing that, Zoe purposefully asked, “Is it because of that, or is it because someone already has your heart?”

Elijah turned quiet this time around. He didn’t know what to say.

It was true that he had had a crush on Leanna from the time when they were students. Despite that, he had never even considered making a move because he had always thought that she and Zayn would someday end up getting married. Everyone, Elijah included, thought that the duo were a match made in heaven.

That was why it came as a surprise to Elijah when the one Zayn ended up getting engaged to was Anna.

However, Elijah hadn’t heard any news about Leanna at that point. It was for his own selfish intentions that he agreed to have a meet-up with his classmates—he wanted to see her.
