In fact, being questioned like this by William Wilson made her even more nervous inside.

Was she...really counting the days?

"I just have a good memory."

William Wilson leisurely appreciated Laura Jones’s reddening ears. The melancholy he felt because of her words that day was much eased at the moment.

Ever since that day, he had actually been deliberately avoiding the little girl.

He wanted to sort out those panicked and prickling feelings.

Recalling the fear in the little girl’s eyes when she looked at him that day, William Wilson felt both regret and unease in his heart.

He was truly afraid he might do something to the little girl that even he couldn’t foresee.

But when he received a message from his younger cousin sister saying that the little girl was playing Poker at her house, he couldn’t help himself and went there.

The moment he saw her, he realized how much he had missed her these past few days, how much he wanted to see her.

As for everything else, at that moment, it all seemed unimportant.

Laura Jones noticed that William Wilson suddenly fell silent, with a strange look in his eyes.

But in the next second, she heard William Wilson say:

"Hmm, Laura really has a good memory."

Laura Jones smiled guiltily and felt embarrassed to respond to his comment.

"I haven’t seen you these days, did you take up a new job recently?"

Laura Jones naturally changed the subject.

Continuing the previous topic would have been very awkward for her.

"Hmm... kind of, family matters."

Laura Jones remembered William Wilson telling her before that his father did no work and the whole family depended on him alone.

At the time, she felt sorry for him for a long time, but since it was William Wilson’s father, an elder, she couldn’t criticize casually as an outsider.

The two stood at the door chatting for a while. William Wilson, not daring to say anything too excessive that might scare her like last time, said goodbye.

After that unpleasant meeting with Emma Williams at the entrance of Cloudy Splendor Community, Emma Williams had a sullen face when seeing Laura Jones at school on Monday.

Everyone could see the unusual atmosphere between her and Laura Jones.

But people could only speculate that it was because Emma Williams liked the class president, who, however, only liked Laura Jones.

After all, this was a well-known secret in the class.

Previously, Emma Williams prided herself on being superior and despised comparing herself to an ordinary person like Laura Jones. Yet today, she seemed so hostile.

As if Laura Jones wasn’t stealing her crush but rather about to become her stepmother.

Before, Emma Williams had already fallen out with her little clique in an attempt to get close to Hannah Taylor.

Those little followers were also prideful. After the fallout, they no longer interacted with Emma Williams.

Today, seeing the overtly hostile atmosphere between Emma Williams and Laura Jones, they didn’t step in to play the antagonist.

And Laura Jones paid her no mind, sitting at her desk flipping through a textbook.

Emma Williams stared at Laura Jones for a while, waiting for Laura Jones to come over and start an argument with her.

But after waiting for a while, not only did Laura Jones not argue, she didn’t even glance at her.

She felt a blockage in her chest.

Just then, she saw Hannah Taylor lazily walking in from outside the classroom, her eyes brightened, and she immediately went up to greet her.

Previously, many in the class looked down on Hannah Taylor, thinking she relied on her wealthy family to get into a prestigious university. Yet, deep down, some were tempted to get close to her but couldn’t lower their "noble" heads.

But ever since it was revealed that William Wilson was Hannah Taylor’s cousin, they seemed to find the perfect excuse, each using the famous actor’s name to cozy up to Hannah Taylor.
