There was one last class left in the semester, but Chloe Sinclair figured she probably wouldn’t make it, so she had requested time off in advance.
Having just finished an exam, the professor didn’t mind and approved her request right away.
When she arrived at the base of The School of Physics building, Chloe Sinclair immediately spotted Ryan Sinclair standing by the fountain.
Chloe Sinclair’s eyes darkened, becoming as still as a deep pool. She walked up to Ryan Sinclair and demanded, "What are you doing here?"
Ryan Sinclair was average-looking. He wore a gaudy, padded floral jacket and cropped pants, leaving his ankles exposed despite the sub-zero temperature.
He had been loafing about for a while, so when he suddenly saw a pretty girl standing before him, it took him a moment to register.
Chloe Sinclair’s transformation from a year and a half ago was nothing short of earth-shattering.
She had let her hair grow long, her jet-black eyes were no longer listless as they once were, and her face was no longer sallow and gaunt from chronic malnutrition.
Ryan Sinclair didn’t recognize her at first and gave a flirtatious whistle.
Chloe Sinclair furrowed her brow and couldn’t help but ask, "Ryan Sinclair, are you sick in the head?"
Ryan Sinclair froze, his pupils contracting. He stared at Chloe Sinclair as if he were seeing a monster.
"You’re..."
"Chloe Sinclair."
Hearing that vaguely familiar voice, Ryan Sinclair was so startled he stumbled back two steps, feeling more and more like he was seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
"You’re Chloe Sinclair?"
He found it hard to believe that the stunning girl before him was his sister-in-name, the one who was supposed to be ugly as sin.
Seeing the scorn in Ryan Sinclair’s eyes, Chloe Sinclair scoffed inwardly. She fixed him with a cold stare and asked in a low voice, "What, don’t I look the part?"
Ryan Sinclair wanted to scream.
’They’re two completely different people, okay?’
