Flora looked at Phini with a wry smile, and for a moment, she did not even dare meet her eyes.
She did not know how Phini would see her. Someone she had treated like an older sister, someone she had been close to and trusted, had chosen to betray her.
She must be so disappointed, so hurt...
Flora felt a stabbing pain in her heart. For a brief moment, she had even considered regretting it, passing off what she had just said as a joke, but she could not do that.
The instant such thoughts arose, they felt like a sharp blade plunging deep into her heart, leaving her unable to breathe.
She could not give up. Even if she had wronged Phini, even if Phini came to hate her, she wanted to be selfish just this once.
Flora took a deep breath and finally gathered the courage to look at Phini.
Those light purple eyes were filled with surprise, confusion, and faint resentment.
Flora lowered her head again. It's over. Phini definitely hates me... She must think I'm a despicable, shameless woman.
Lin Mo looked at the expressions in their eyes and knew that they both needed time to calm down. He broke the long silence. "We haven't eaten yet. Let's eat first... Teacher Flora, would you like to join us?"
"I... I've already eaten..."

It was already late, and after dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
