The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 11

Looking at Sylvie Sutton's gentle face, Nova Donald casually accepted the towel from her hands. She had been sweating profusely, so Sylvie's towel was quickly soaked through.

Smiling, Nova handed the damp towel back to Sylvie.

Repulsed, Sylvie froze before she could take it. Nova tilted her head. "Sylvie, what's wrong? You're not disgusted by me, are you?"

Sylvie cared about her image in the classroom more than anything else. Forcing a smile, she swallowed her revulsion and took the towel. "How could I be? We're best friends. I'd never be disgusted by you..."

"That's good."

Nova smiled at her, radiating a newfound confidence that the old Nova never possessed.

Sylvie looked slightly stunned.

She couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed, but Nova was undeniably different.

Although she was still relatively unsmiling and didn't mingle much with their classmates, the aura she projected was entirely unlike before.

Nova returned to her seat.

Sylvie followed suit, sitting at her own desk right next to Nova. Seeing Nova gulping down water, Sylvie pulled a box of chocolates from her desk and offered it. "Nova, my dad brought these chocolates back from his trip. You definitely haven't tried them yet. I remember you used to love chocolate, so you can have the whole box."

Staring at the box in Sylvie's hand, Nova sneered inwardly.

When she was younger, she had been insecure, but she was never particularly overweight. By the time she started high school, she was already five-foot-five. Yet, somehow, her weight had inexplicably ballooned from one hundred forty pounds to nearly two hundred.

At the time, she assumed it was due to stress, but she later realized something was deeply wrong.

Being called out made Sylvie bite her lip, completely mortified.

She had always been the school's golden girl. This was the first time a teacher had ever reprimanded her.

Mrs. Gable was known for being the strictest teacher on staff. She marched over and glared at the chocolates scattered across the floor.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Gable, it's my fault. Sylvie saw that I was starving after my run and kindly offered me some chocolate. I was clumsy and accidentally dropped it," Nova spoke up first, taking all the blame.

"Running? Nova, are you trying to lose weight?"

Nova nodded.

Mrs. Gable was an adult, after all. She shot Sylvie a knowing look, as if seeing right through her little scheme. "We are in the middle of a lesson! Instead of paying attention, you're passing out candy? I am confiscating these chocolates."
