Chapter 239

Chapter 239:

But as she neared him, her steps slowed, and for a brief moment, she stopped.

Kevin’s breath hitched, matching the sudden pause in her movement.

“You’re going to lose,” she said, her voice calm but firm.

With those words hanging in the air, Fernanda turned and walked away.

Kevin snapped back to reality, as if he had just woken from a dream. He quickly checked his phone and saw that enemies were tearing down his base. But instead of rushing to defend, he let his champion stand still, doing nothing.

His teammates’ urgent messages flooded the screen, but they couldn’t break the spell he was under. When Kevin finally came to his senses, he hurriedly moved his champion, but it was too late.

Realizing there was no chance of winning, his teammates began sending harsh messages.

The game ended in a crushing defeat. During the settlement, a few teammates sent him friend requests, along with less-than-kind messages.

Kevin, his face blank, rejected the friend requests and shut down the game.

It felt strange. He was normally the most focused player, but seeing Fernanda had thrown him off completely, causing him to forget he was even playing.

He started heading back to his bedroom but, halfway up the stairs, suddenly remembered he had come down for a drink of water and hadn’t gotten it yet.

He slapped his forehead in frustration and turned around to head back downstairs.

What was going on with him today? He had never been this scatterbrained.

Fernanda stepped into her room, but as she did, she heard the faint sound of crying coming from Erika’s room across the hall.

The Morgan family’s rooms were well-insulated, yet Erika’s sobs still managed to reach her, a clear sign of how deeply heartbroken she must be.

Fernanda didn’t linger on it—she knew this was the result of Erika’s own actions.

As she returned to her room, she noticed Ector standing on the balcony. Hearing her approach, Ector turned toward her, his gaze lingering as if he had something on his mind.

Fernanda walked over and leaned against the balcony railing, mimicking his stance.

Ector spoke first. “After you left, Dad and the Harper family didn’t bring up your engagement again. It looks like this matter is being dropped, so you can rest easy.”

For some reason, hearing him say “you can rest easy” made Fernanda feel a little uneasy.

“I saw Cristian brought you back,” Ector said, turning to her. “Fernanda, have you really thought this through?”

“What do you mean?”

“Your relationship with him… Do you truly want to be with Cristian?”

“I haven’t figured it all out yet. I’m just letting things happen as they will,” Fernanda replied honestly.

Ector recalled that the last time he asked, Fernanda had rejected the idea outright, insisting she would never be with Cristian.

But now, her response was different.
