Chapter 48 Ch 48 : Misunderstanding (?)

" *Cough*"

Hearing Eva's words, Luna had almost caught in a surprise attack, and even the librarian reprimanded them for being a bit too noisy.

" This… what do you mean by that, Eva?"

Luna asked with a smile, but her eyes were not smiling.

Yet Eva seemed to be enjoying this. She wasn't intimidated by the "smile" of her friend at all, and rather just showed her the picture that she got from the social media directly to Luna.

" Look at this. Wasn't this like a picture of a happy family?"

Inside the picture was the photo of Isabel and Cade holding Elsa's hand.

From afar, they indeed looked like a happy family, but if Luna could think clearly, she would realize that the age gap just didn't match.

It's just she was now way too hotheaded from Eva's provocation that she couldn't think straight anymore.

A blazing aura began to come out from her body, and Aurum, who was watching from the side started to get panicked.

" I need to see this with my own eye! As his friend.. shouldn't he tell me first if he already has a family?"

Luna stormed out of the library, leaving Aurum and Eva in the dust.

" Hey, was all of this really necessary? Didn't she say that they are just friends?"

" Haha.. I don't know. But wouldn't this be a lot more interesting than being stuck here all day reading books? Let's go. It's our chance to get out of this boring place!"

"....."

At the end of the day, Aurum could only let himself be dragged by Eva and Luna and hoped that things would be solved soon as possible as he wanted to return and study.

. . . . . . . . .

"…Anyways, this place is amazing."

Cade, who didn't know that storm was coming for him, was currently enjoying himself in a two-star Michelin restaurant.

At first, he just wanted to enjoy the meal in a small casual restaurant, but thinking about what Elsa had been going through all these years, he decided to go extravagant this one time.

He sat down on the comfy chair and began to look through the menu.

" By the way, Elsa. What do you want to eat?"

Cade looked to his side, and he saw Elsa was looking at the menu with glimmers in her eyes.

It was apparent that the menu here came with the illustration of the food, and each one of them looked pretty delicious.

It took a while for Elsa to decide, but in the end, her choice fell to..

"Fried chicken!"

"Alright, got it. Then, a serving of Fried Chicken and a serving of seafood platter for us."

Cade finished his order and waited for Isabel to choose his menu.

But really, women are such fickle creatures. Even when ordering food, Cade could see Isabel was calculating each and every menu's calories before eventually ordering them.

DING!!!

While Cade was waiting, he saw his smartphone was getting a new message.

The sender was none other than Luna.

' This girl.. how could she get my number?'

But that was not all that mattered. Cade was pretty curious about the content of the message and proceeded to open it.

[Hey, are you busy? Everyone is going to go get food.]

' Hmm? What is this?'

Cade felt pretty strange, but he still decided to reply.

[ I'm sorry, I can't. I'm having my lunch now.]

It took a while for Cade to get his response back, but when he was getting one, he was pretty surprised.

[ So it's true? At this young age, you already had a child?]

" ????? "

. . . . . . . .

On the airship that Luna and the other took to go down from Orion University to the Royal Capital, Luna currently had a beet-red face.

The reason was none other than the text that Cade had just sent to her.

[ I have a kid? Do you have alcohol in this daylight? I'm here with my little sister and Ms. Isabel.]

[ *Pic Sent*]

[ But well, if you are currently free, feel free to come and join me here. The address is at….]

" ….. "

Just now, Cade had explained all the misunderstandings that happened, and it was a lie if Luna said she was not embarrassed.

She jumped at Cade, accusing him of having a kid, and now it was all a misunderstanding?

If she could, she would have buried her head on the ground like an ostrich.

On her side, Eva and Aurum were trying their best to hold their laugh, especially Eva.

" What!??" Glared Luna. She was like a tigress who had her kid get hurt. Yet Eva was not afraid at all.

" Nothing, it's just… too funny.. Pffttt…."

In the end, it was impossible for Eva and Aurum to hold their laugh. They laughed like a maniac while Luna could only stand there, watching them with glaring eyes.

After five minutes, the laughter slowly subsided, and they could finally have a proper conversation.

" You… because of you, Cade had…"

" Wait, stop there, young lad."

Eva said, but her face clearly showed that she was having a hard time controlling herself from laughing.

" You know, isn't this a good outcome? That guy Cade is now inviting you for lunch?"

" Well, I don't know about what you really think inside, but wasn't this a good chance for you?"

**

10 P.M.

Cade came to the first floor of a big shop for Arcane Card items.

He now was alone with no longer Isabel and Elsa accompanying him.

Originally, he had wanted to go back to Orion University. Yet a message came from Luna telling him that she wanted to invite him to go to the shop together.

When Cade arrived, he actually thought that Eva and Aurum would also be waiting there alongside Luna. However, Luna was the only one in front of the auction entrance. She was killing time tapping on the ground with her toes.

" Damn it.. this is not like what they think… We are just friends.."

Luna murmured as she really couldn't get what Eva said previously out of her mind.

' You sure you are not in love with him?'

" Garrhhh damn, that Eva. Why must she say things like that!"

But soon enough, Luna noticed Cade who was watching her from the side.

Cade looked at her and grinned.

"Why are you staring?"

"…."
