Chapter 1280


    Trisha hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your buddies have all gifted you such high–end stuff. My


    little gift just doesn’t hold a candle to theirs Letti did give you something, and I’m her best friend, so her


    gift is like mine too.”


    Nics scoffed, “So you basically waltzed in, had a feast at my birthday bash, and didn’t bring a gift,


    huh?”


    Trisha spoke softly, “You got so many presents that day, you wouldn’t care about one less, would you?


    Why are you so hung up on this?”


    What others gift is theirs, what you gift is yours. How can those be the same?” Nics retorted, then


    paused, “Why did you even show up at my birthday party that day? We didn’t even know each other


    then, did we?”


    “Because Jace Ledford was attending Trisha replied, straightening her dress, I wanted to make contact


    with him, so I told him that you had invited me too. I didn’t expect you to show up out of nowhere,


    asking me all these questions. I was scared you’d blow my cover, which is why I was clinging to you so


    tightly, not letting you see my face.”


    Nics fell silent.


    What should have been a happy asion turned sour when he heard that she only attended his


    birthday party to chase another guy.


    The next morning, when Jace Ledford knocked on the door, Trisha looked like a deer caught in


    headlights, scared to death that Jace would find out she had spent the night with Nics.


    This spection made Nics feel uneasy.


    “Do you like Jace that much?” Nics suddenly asked.


    After a brief pause, Trisha answered, “I used to like him a lot, but now I’m not so sure. He seems quite


    elusive, not as real as you.”


    Nics was taken aback, “How am I real?”


    “You’re tangible, I mean. You might be a smooth talker and adies man, but you’re still a good guy.”


    Nics didn’t know how to respond to this


    Was this supposed to be apliment?


    Nics waved her over. “Come here.”


    Trisha was confused, “What for?”


    “Come, and I’ll tell you‘


    Trisha reluctantly went over, “Can’t you just say… Ah…”


    Before she could finish, Nics had pulled her down onto hisp.


    She sprang up like a cat on a hot tin roof, but Nics held her waist, preventing her from moving.

    “What are you doing?” Trisha said, her ears turning red as she red at him.


    Nics, with one hand free, lifted her chin, “Look at me.”


    Trisha was forced to look up at him. She was ufortable and widened her eyes to express her


    feelings, “Look at what?”


    “Who do you think is better looking, me or Jace?”


    Trisha was dumbfounded


    “What a pointless question!” She retorted.


    She tried to get up and leave, but Nics was surprisingly strong, and she couldn’t break free.


    Answer, and I’ll let you go Nics was as stubborn as a mule


    Annoyed, Trisha stared at him, “Of course Dr. Ledford is better looking, don’t you know what you look


    like?”


    Nics’s eyes darkened slightly, the hand on her waist unconsciously tightened, and he said in a slow


    voice, “Are you sure?”


    Trisha suddenly found herself at a loss for words as she looked into his eyes


    Nics was not as wlessly handsome as Liam His features weren’t as delicate, his eyebrows weren’t


    as finely groomed as those of male actors nowadays, and his eyes weren’t as beautiful as Masons But


    his nose was high, his lips were nicely shaped, and the curve of his jewline was very elegant These


    featuresbined to make him overall more attractive


    Inparison, Jace wasn’t as handsome as Nics What attracted Trisha to Jace was more about the


    charm of his profession as a doctor


    Just like how people generally assume that student council members must be good students and art


    students must be bad at academics, these wore stereotypical notions.
