Chapter <b>1 </b>
I was reborn.
Back to Valentine’s Day when Liam Prescott took me to meet his friends.]
The burning sensation of sulfuric acid corroding my skin gradually faded away.[]
The conversations around me became clearer.
“Liam, you’re not being fair to us!“]]
“You’ve had a girlfriend for so long, and only now you’re bringing her to meet us.“[]
Some friends were making a fuss.
I instinctively nced towards Aria ckwell, who was sitting in the corner.[]
She seemed not to have heard, engrossed in her phone.]
Until Liam called her, “Stop ying with your phone ande meet my girlfriend.“]]
A fleeting expression of disgust shed across Aria’s face, quickly reced by a natural<b>, </b>carefree smile as she walked towards us<b>. </b>
“Oh my, I’m so sorry.”
“So this is your girlfriend? She’s really pretty!“]
Liam looked somewhat smug, “Of course, just look at my good taste.“]
Ariaughed carefreely<i>, </i>naturally putting her arm around Liam’s shoulders.
“You’re not being modest at all.“]
Everyone burst intoughter.[]
Even Liam didn’t notice anything amiss.]]
They seemed long ustomed to this mode of interaction.]]
My gaze fell quietly on Aria’s hand on Liam’s shoulder.
Amid theughter, Liam nced at me and realized it wasn’t quite right. He raised his hand to gently brush off Aria’s.]
Seeing my displeased expression, Liam pulled me aside and said:
“Olivia, don’t be angry. I treat Aria like a brother, we’ve been rough–housing since we were kids, it’s just a habit.“[]
“Mm.” I nodded and took a sip of water.]
While I was resting in the corner,
I overheard Liam quietly instructing his friends nearby.
“Remember, my girlfriend is allergic to flowers.“]
“No matter what, don’t let here into contact with any flowers.“]
Liam’s voice was very low; he thought I had fallen asleep sitting there.[]
Soon, I heard Aria’s sour sarcasm.]
“If you ask me, your girlfriend is really delicate. In all my years, I’ve never heard of anyone being allergic to flowers.“]
Hearing this,
immediately opened my eyes.[]
