The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 85

At four-thirty in the afternoon, the warm golden sunlight slanted through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing Mika in a brilliant glow.

It was as if a natural spotlight had been cast over both her and Seraphina.

At that moment, even Quincy and Lucas had their eyes quietly fixed on Mika, waiting to see how she would react.

Mika stood perfectly straight in the sunlight. She lowered her gaze, listened quietly until Seraphina was completely finished, and gave a soft blink.

"Okay, I forgive you."

Seraphina was visibly stunned.

She had deliberately put on a provocative display to enrage Mika, banking on her refusing the apology right in front of Lucas.

After all, with things escalating to this point between them, how could Mika possibly just kiss and make up so easily?

She had wanted Mika to throw a massive fit, to even hurl insults at her—she absolutely wouldn't have fought back.

That was the only way to make Lucas question Mika's character!

So why did Mika just agree?

"You... you're really willing to forgive me?" Seraphina looked up in disbelief, a flash of suspicion in her eyes.

"Of course. After all, we're best friends."

Mika offered a faint, gentle smile and softly took Seraphina's hands.

"Did you forget? No matter what, I'll always put you first. Before Jude ever came along, when you got drunk or hurt yourself, wasn't I always the one who carried you back to the dorms?"

Seraphina's face went entirely pale. Sensing what Mika was about to do, she tried to interrupt. "Yes, I remember. I remember it all, Mika, you don't have to say it..."

"No, you don't remember. When you were too tired to climb six flights of stairs, I'd go to the dining hall alone to pack your meals. When we went shopping and your bags got too heavy, I carried them all for you.

When you were sick with cramps, I stayed by your side to take care of you. I skipped dinners just to build a nest egg to buy you birthday presents... With a bond as strong as ours, how could a guy like Jude ever be more important than you?"

Seraphina was completely speechless.
