Chapter 51 She Shouldn’t Have Embarrassed Him
Chase had spoiled her rotten these past few months. Whatever she wanted, he gave her. Even the slightest frown from her would make him anxious. He’d never let her feel wronged.
She’d never imagined he would go looking for Nina behind her back
Katrina kept hitting him, and more and more students around them began to stare.
She wasn’t particularly strong, but every blow felt like a slap to his pride.
Irritation surged in Chase’s chest. He grabbed her wrist, forcing himself to hold back his anger. “Are you done making a
“I’m making a scene?” Katrina shook his hand off, her face flushed red. “Fine! I’m the one causing trouble! Then go find Nina!
With that, she turned and ran back to Class C in tears.
Watching her retreating figure, Chase felt even more suffocated.
Over the past few months, Katrina had been getting upset more and more often–sometimes for no reason at all. He hadn’t liked it, but since he cared about her, he’d always been patient, always the one to make things right.
But today, at school, in front of Nina of all people–she shouldn’t have embarrassed him like that and just run off
When he turned back, he saw exactly what he expected: Nina standing at the door of Class A, watching the whole scene unfold, Jensen beside her. They’d both seen him just now, lowering himself to coax Katrína.
A flash of anger rose in him.
This time, no matter what, he wasn’t going to indulge Katrina again.
Jensen glanced at Nina, who was still watching the scene like it was entertainment. “Enjoying the show?”
“They’re gone, so yeah–I’ve seen enough.”
The way things had just played out struck Nina as almost funny.
In her last life, Chase couldn’t have Katrina and spent years longing for her, eventually wanting to give her everything. Now that she’d stepped back and let them get together, the relationship had flared up fast–and burned out just as quickly. It had only been a few months, and he was already losing patience with her.
Faster than she’d expected.
“How long do you think they’ll last?” she mused. “A month? Two?”
She remembered the way Katrina had mocked her after taking Chase back then, and the thought sparked a sudden interest. 70g her head, she looked at Jensen. “I’m going to the Mercer house tonight”
Jensen assumed she still couldn’t let Chase go. His expression dimmed slightly.
Then flina smiled, eyes narrowing just a little “ri go at seven come pick me up at eight okay
Jensen blinked.

That evening after school, Nina headed straight to Class C. Chase and Katrina were clearly still at odds—they sat far apart, not even sparing each other a glance.
When Chase stepped out and saw Nina, he frowned.
“Didn’t you say Mrs. Mercer invited me to dinner?” Nina said. “Let’s go.”
