Unwilling Bride: The 1V5 Love Drama novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 The Encounter in the Restroom

Tylissa didn’t expect to run to Ava there. A hint of surprise flashed across her face.

“Ms. Morren, your outfit tonight is pretty unique. Are you planning to go on stage dressed like that and play the lute?”

It wasn’t that it looked bad. Still, Tylissa couldn’t wrap her head around Ava actually going this far.

At her coming–of–age party, Ava wore a silk dress that made a strong impression. She hadn’t expected her to show up like this at the welcome gala.

Ava hadn’t expected her to start a conversation. Even though they had run into each other a few times at school, they always acted like strangers and never greeted each other.

Ava washed her hands and said, “I didn’t expect you to pay so much attention to me.”

Tylissa’s expression tightened for a moment, but she quickly put on her usual polite smile. “I just happened to see the performance list. Ms. Morren, you really are surprising. The lute isn’t exactly a common instrument, and you actually know how to play it.”

Ava turned and met her gaze. “The lute isn’t some rare, forgotten instrument. Does it really surprise you that I can play it?”

Tylissa paused, clearly caught off guard. Then she smiled again. “Ms. Morren, are you in a bad mood? Your tone makes it sound like you’re unhappy with me. Did I offend you somehow?”

Ava looked at her smiling face and felt a chill. Tylissa had stolen Malory’s hard work and sent her to the hospital, yet she acted as if nothing had happened.

“You haven’t offended me. We’re just strangers who know each other’s names. We were never close to begin with.”

Tylissa’s expression slowly darkened. Her lips pressed into a thin line.

Ava finished washing her hands and was about to leave.

As she walked past her, Tylissa spoke again. “Ava, I wasn’t trying to make things awkward between us. But since you and your sister don’t like me, that’s fine. I don’t like you either. Let’s just keep our distance and stay out of each other’s way.”

A faint mocking smile touched Ava’s lips. She didn’t reply and walked out.

Tylissa clenched her teeth as she watched her leave. Anger flickered in her eyes, but she forced it down and straightened her back

When Ava returned to the room, Noelle gave her a once–over. “Why do I feel like you’re in a bad mood after going out?”

Ava sat down and smoothed out her dress. “I ran into Tylissa in the restroom. We talked for a bit.”
