Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 93

This wasn't the first time Sky and Zack saw Xavier in this state. Sky clapped his chest reassuringly. "Don't worry. Xavier is just drunk. He won't hear a thing. He has no idea about our plans."

Despite his words, Zack felt a nagging sense of unease.

But before he could dwell on it, Sky had already brought up how much money they could get, and Zack simply stopped worrying about what felt off.

Once back in his room, Xavier locked the door and finally let out a sigh of relief as he lay on his bed.

He felt utterly lost and betrayed. His father and brother were using him without a thought for the consequences he might face.

He needed to find a way to thwart their plans. He couldn't let them succeed.

The stress weighed heavily on him, and he barely slept that night.

The next day at school, he slept through the morning classes.

Fortunately, his excellent grades meant the teachers turned a blind eye.

…

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. On the basketball court, the net swayed gently in the breeze.

Nearby, students gathered, sharing their memories and dreams.

At a distance, the notice board by the school gate was plastered with photos of outstanding graduates. Jacob, Liesel, and Denzel were prominently displayed.

As Liesel walked beside Jacob, her eyes drifted to the outstanding graduates section. She realized she and Jacob were not listed together.

Right, in the eyes of some, she was not on par with him.

Frowning, she followed Jacob silently and took in her surroundings.

As soon as Helena heard that Jacob and Liesel had arrived, she quickly gathered the vice principal and the department heads to welcome them.

Even from a distance, she could see he was handsome, though he seemed slightly aloof. Despite his slender frame, he exuded an undeniable presence.

From this angle, Liesel noticed his deep and determined gaze, which seemed capable of piercing through anything. Yet within those clear eyes lay a subtle hint of fragility.

A few female classmates approached him. They offered him drinks and snacks and even invited him to play badminton.

He declined by lifting the book in his hands as a silent refusal.

The book was filled with complex code. It was indecipherable to the girls. They glanced at it only to feel dizzy and realize he was turning them down.

Suddenly, the boy glanced up and met Liesel's gaze from afar.

At that instant, time seemed to freeze, and the surrounding noise faded away. Their eyes locked, and something indescribable flickered between them.

Xavier felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity stir within him.
