Chapter 1740

"I..." Debra had no comeback.

That wasn't what she meant. She vaguely remembered some nagging question in her head, but she couldn't pin it down.

"You burning up or something?" Jordan reached for her forehead. Original content can be found at find⁂novel.net

She shot up, dodging like he'd zapped her.

The room fell dead silent.

She braced for a scolding, but Jordan just whacked her on the head. "Dodged well, but not quick enough."

Instead of digging into her reaction, he led her out of the classroom.

The familiar campus hit her hard. Two voices and two sets of memories were in her head.

One said this place was pure joy. The other screamed cold, cruel vibes.

One memory painted Arcane Academy as warm and cozy. The other did wall-to-wall bullying.

The split tore at her brain.

"Are you just letting the bracelet thing slide?" Jordan chattered on. "Andrew gave you that, and you've always treasured it."

She suddenly looked up. "Where is Mr. Andrew Potter now?"

"Mr. Andrew Potter?" Jordan parroted, weirded out. "Did you guys fight?"

Then he shook his head, knowing even if Debra picked a fight, Andrew would just laugh it off and smooth things over in a million ways.

Those two couldn't clash if they tried. Everyone in Seamar City knew Debra was Andrew's golden girl. He saved all his softness for her.

Debra shook her head at his question. She didn't know why she had called Andrew like that.

It sounded so stiff and polite.

"Arcane Academy's stressing you out, huh?" Jordan said. "Ditch it. Once you marry Andrew, he'll teach you everything. He's worth more than all your professors combined."

He popped open his car in the garage. Debra slid into the passenger seat.

Familiar car, familiar incense, and familiar seat. There was also a bear pillow Jordan kept just for her.

He hopped in, cranked the seat heater, fixed her seatbelt, and laid out a spread of snacks and coffee. She grabbed it like always, munching away.

This was her life. Like a fairy-tale princess, she was drowning in everyone's love.

Still, she felt empty in her heart, like a chunk of memory was missing. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall it.
