The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 40

The two of them scrolled through the thread again, gossiping the whole time, until they reached the most recent comment.

"Wait, look, new drama!"

"Oh my god, Jude is being way too obvious this time. Even if you want to suck up to your girlfriend's best friend, there's no way you buy her a gift that costs double what you spent on your actual girlfriend!"

"No wonder Mika looked so devastated just now..."

"This is way out of line!"

Under the newly posted anonymous leak, dozens of replies were already piling up, tearing into Seraphina and Jude.

The two classmates exchanged a glance, immediately pulling up their keyboards to join the digital mob.

...

Room 702.

Because of her sprained ankle, Seraphina couldn't easily go out for lunch. As noon approached, she finally caved and texted Mika.

"Mika, when are you coming back? Could you grab me some lunch on your way?"

In the past, even when she wasn't injured, if Seraphina simply felt too lazy to walk down the stairs, Mika would proactively ask her what she wanted and bring it back for her.

But today, it was almost twelve-thirty. Mika hadn't returned, and there was absolutely zero activity on her WeChat.

Seraphina felt a knot forming in her stomach. She couldn't shake the creeping suspicion that something about Mika had fundamentally shifted over the past few days.

It wasn't just her appearance; it was this strange, subtle distance wedged between them.

Mika still seemed to treat her like a friend.

She just wasn't orbiting her anymore. She seemed to have her own life now. Sometimes, the resident doormat was even starting to say no to her requests.

Thinking back, Mika had been vanishing after classes all week doing God knows what, though she still showed up for lunch and dinner like clockwork.

Still, this faint loss of control left Seraphina deeply unsettled.

Before long, Mika replied.
