Chapter 196
Now that Helen had apologized to me sincerely, how could I be mad at her? Her mother was her mother; she was she. I was mad, but I shouldn’t get the two things mixed up.
“You think I’ll forgive you after a simple apology?” I pouted playfully and looked away.
Helen sniffled and continued, “What do you want me to do, then? Write an apology letter and post it on the school’s forum?”
What a bad idea. I didn’t need more publicity.
“You’ll buy me breakfast for a week. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you.”
I gave her forearm a nudge. Helen was stunned for a while. Then, she leaped and clung to me like a sloth. “No, I’ll buy you breakfast for a month! A week isn’t enough to make my guilt disappear. Luna, you’re a dummy! You should’ve used this opportunity to ask for anything. I can buy you a mansion if you want.”
See? That was the difference between a rich person and an ordinary person.
I was off to a bad morning, but Helen brought warmth back to my world like the bright sun.
Matthew and I might not be able to be together, but I made a good friend. It was all worth it,
no?
After breakfast, Helen left me all alone. She disappeared for the entire day. Just when I thought I would be sleeping alone tonight, she returned with tons of snacks and two cans of
beer.
“I thought you weren’t sleeping here tonight.” I put down my pencil and placed a tray on her desk
Excitedly, she plopped down the snacks and removed the thick coat she was wearing. She then chirped, “I wasn’t supposed to sleep here tonight. Then I remembered there was a piglet in the apartment, so I came back and brought her favorite snacks. I know you love this one. Here. Dig in.”
I got up and grabbed some of the tortilla chips.
They tasted familiar. Helen must have gone to the restaurant I had visited with Matthew
twice.
I loved the tortilla chips there, as well as the dipping sauce. Helen never paid attention to my

food preferences. He must have helped her pick my favorite snacks.
I wanted him to stop being so nice to me because I didn’t know how to repay him.
After downing half a can of beer, Helen became more talkative. She shared her upbringing with me.
