The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 399

"Amelia, are you feeling any better?"

"I'm fine, thanks."

Her distant, cold tone left a bitter taste in his mouth.

"You seem upset. Who's been giving you a hard time? Tell me, and I'll fix it for you."

"Jaron, the food will get cold if we don't eat now."

He was annoyed at being interrupted, but he couldn't bring himself to blame Tiffany when she looked at him so gently.

Side Story: Nicole & Jasper (24)

Back in the dorm, Amelia buried herself under her blanket and flipped through old photos of the four of them growing up together.

Every happy memory flashed through her mind one by one, and warm, helpless tears slid down her cheeks.

Jaron... you promised you'd marry me when we grew up.

Did you really forget?

"Amelia, I made you a cup of warm milk. Drink it before you go to bed."

Amelia quickly wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and forced a steady voice. "I'm really sleepy. I'll pass."

"Are you... gonna be okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Nicole didn't know how to comfort her.

All their lives, Amelia had been the strong one who comforted everyone else.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"No. You'll just dream about Jasper all night. I don't want to watch you two be lovey-dovey. I'm trying to recover."

Amelia yawned softly. "Letting go is hard, but nothing is impossible for me.

"I'm gonna dream about a hot guy tonight. 6'2", broad shoulders, narrow waist, six-pack abs. Perfect."

Nicole blinked. That's exactly Jaron.

She lifted her chin and finished the milk. "There are millions of good-looking guys out there. We don't need him."

"Yeah... we don't need him."

Amelia's voice was low and dull. "I really need to sleep now."

"Good night."

"Night, babe."

Amelia kept looking at the photos, her heart sinking deeper and deeper into darkness.

Nicole lay on her bed and texted Jasper.

"Princess Nicole: How do you comfort someone who's hurt?"

"Jealous Baby: Depends on who it is. If it's me, all I need is kisses and hugs. For Amelia... just stay with her. Time will heal this."

"Princess Nicole: If I had rejected you and dated someone else... how would you have gotten over it?"

She's still young. I have to wait a little longer.
