He Loves Me Right, Finally novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 A Fight, A Secret, and a Crush

Wynette felt torn.

Should I… go to Adriel and check on him?

When he left, his face was bruised.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

She didn’t even hear Joanne going on and on, cursing Noah over and over.

All Wynette could think about was Adriel’s injuries.

As Joanne kept talking, she brought up the fight between Adriel and Noah.

Honestly, it scared her.

Finished

Growing up, her brother had always been cold, but he was never a bad person. She had never seen him that fierce before.

Just thinking about the way he and Noah fought in the room still made her uneasy.

Especially the way Adriel walked out at the end–cold and distant, like he was angry at someone.

Wait a second…

Joanne suddenly realized something. Now she knew why it felt so strange.

Her brother had stepped in for Wynette.

Even if that jerk threw the first punch, the whole thing started because of her.

Joanne turned to look at her friend, studying her carefully. Then she asked again, confused, “Were you and

my brother really not getting along before?”

From what she had seen these past few days, they didn’t look like they disliked each other at all.

So what was the truth? Were the rumors wrong, or was my best friend and my brother just really good at pretending?

Joanne was full of questions and needed answers.

Wynette snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the question. How was I supposed to answer that?!

By now, they had already returned to their orginal room. Joanne kept staring at her.

With that kind of pressure, Wynette sighed quietly.

She knew she had to give a reasonable explanation.

After thinking for a moment, she answered honestly, “It’s not that. It’s just, Noah didn’t want me to have much contact with your brother. He kept saying bad things about him.

“And the few times I ran into your brother, he always looked cold, like he didn’t want to talk to anyone. Sometimes, the way he looked at me felt a little impatient, kind of distant. It was obvious. I wasn’t about to be the one to break the ice. So, you know how it turned out.”

They rarely talked. They didn’t even nod when they passed each other; things stayed awkward. On top of that, Noah didn’t get along with Adriel. But he still pretended otherwise and quietly influenced things. In the end, it turned into Wynette and Adriel not getting along.

After hearing all that, Joanne almost laughed in anger. “Yeah, they don’t like each other. Honestly, if you hadn’t picked Noah before, I wouldn’t have stayed quiet. Forget Adriel, even I can’t stand him.”

Joanne had never liked Noah. There wasn’t any special reason. She just didn’t.

She was the kind of person who trusted her first impression.

If she liked someone, she would give her all to the friendship. But if she didn’t like someone, she wouldn’t force it. She wouldn’t even bother being polite.

That’s why she had always disliked Noah. Every time she met Wynette, she would complain about him.

Before, out of respect for Wynette, she only made a few sarcastic comments.

Now? Joanne let out a quiet scoff in her heart.

From now on, every time she saw that jerk, she was going to call him out. No way she’d let him lift his face in public.

ppp. May

Adriel was sitting in a room on the third floor, one that wasn’t open to the public. There was a small cut at the corner of his mouth.

Inside, Gavin was hosting a loud party with a group of people.

When Adriel walked in with that injury, Gavin grabbed the mic and shouted in surprise. A second later, Adriel pushed him aside in annoyance.

Now Gavin was sitting next to him, pressing him to tell about the injury on his face.

Adriel glanced at him coldly and kept drinking in silence.

Gavin clicked his tongue. “What? You got hurt over love. You don’t even have a girl you like. You’ve been single forever. That doesn’t make sense.”

Adriel snorted. “Why would you think so?”

“Of course you don’t,” Gavin shot back without thinking. “If you did, you wouldn’t be single. You know how charming you are, right?”

Halfway through, he suddenly froze.

Gavin jumped to his feet, staring at Adriel in shock. He could barely get his words out. “Y–you… you have a crush on someone?! No way! Who is it? Come on, tell me!”

He got more and more excited. “The ice has finally melted! There’s actually a woman you can’t win over? This is unbelievable. I have to know who she is!”

He suddenly yelled out loud, and the once lively room fell silent in an instant.

Gavin’s words echoed clearly in the room.

What made it even worse was that he was still holding the microphone he had been using to sing, and it

was still on.

His voice kept repeating through the speakers, leaving no way to escape the embarrassment.

Just then, the door slowly opened.
