Chapter 145
Silas stared at Yves, lightly licking his lips as he replied. “It’s what I should do”
An mexplicable sourness filled the air. Chuck rubbed his nose, too timid to say anything
His phone buzzed with a new message–one from Lethe.
Lenore glanced at her phone, her eyes narrowing slightly. She turned to Yves and said. “Tve got something to do today, so I won’t be staying for
Yves opened hus mouth to respond, “Well, you can go ahead then.”
In her school uniform, Lenore stood in the evening breeze, her skin a pale shade of white.
Silas shot a glance at Yves, then shrugged off his coat and draped it around Lenore’s shoulders, guiding her outside, softened. “Shall we grab a bite to eat first!”

expression
Lenore looked up at him, a hundred percent sure that his gesture was intentional. Sull, she said nothing and followed him into the car.
Yves could only watch in silence.
“Yes” Yves sapped his gaze back when he heard Esther’s voice.
He lowered his eyes to Esther, feeling a complicated swirl of emotions and sighed after a long pause. “Let’s head home first
Inside the car, the scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, pleasantly strong yet not overpowering. The AC was set high. Finding a comfortable position, Lenore pulled out her game and started playing.
Silas rummaged through the storage box and handed her something. “Here you go. His voice was smooth and melodic
As she m
maneuvered her character away from the battlefeld, Lenore gradually looked up at the box. It was rectangular, dark green, with golden trim on the edges, and the front featured a wave pattern in relief–it looked pretty fancy
She frowned slightly. “What’s this?”
Silas opened the box leisurely, pulling out its c
contents. It was a thermos, similar to the one she already lud.
The only difference was that this one was matte black, completely plain Lenore gazed at him, her eyes questioning.

Silas chuckled softly, his to alcohol; it seals better,”
Lenore paused for a moment, reaching out to take it. Her cool fingertips brushed against his, and warmth spread through her skin, sending a slight tingling sensation through her.
The thermos felt really nice in her hand, with a good weight. Made from special nano–material, its temperature control feature was more advanced than her old one
After a while, Lenore raised her head with a mischievous glint in her eyes, smirking slightly, “Didn’t Mr. Faulkner say that minors and high schoolers can’t drink alcohol?”
Silas s expression remained steady, his eyes locking onto hers for a couple of seconds before a smirk tugged at his lips. “If it’s medicinal wine, I can make an exception.”
In that moment, a glint of surprise flickered in Lenore’s eyes, but she quickly masked it, letting her usual facade return

When sealed in this kind of special thermos, it can keep its scent contained. Silas wasn’t just anyone, he could instantly tell its specialty. “Thanks” Lenore furrowed her brows, casually stuffing the thermos in her bag as she returned her focus to her game,
Chuck, who was driving, was speechless.
That thermos was something Salas had commissioned a few days ago, the technology used inside was a next–gen electronic design.
Ir could preserve flavors for decades, yet here was Ms. Smedley treating it so casually! Such a waste.

At the Smedley residence, when Sharon saw Yves and Esther walking in together, she froze for a so early!”
Esther, already in a foul mood, shot her a cold smile. “This is my house. Can’t my brother come home?
“Uh…“ Shuren floundered, trying to recover. “I didn’t mean that…

“Esther Yves frowned slightly, turning to address Sharon gently. “Sharon, I graduated early and came back”
He was studying bioinformatics and was originally set to graduate next year. However, ever since Lenore was brought back to Jinstenburg, one thing after another has happened, not to mention the situation in Senanville.
Esther had never liked Lenore, always funding ways to target her, and now she had even set her sights on Bonnie.
Fearful of truly angering Lenore and feeling uneasy, he decided to graduate early and return home. He didn’t tell anyone about this decision. Upon returning, he didn’t even go home; instead, he headed straight to Greenvine High School to meet with Lenore.
