Julia's captivating smile lit up her lips, but Noah didn't notice it.
Yet, moments later, her smile gradually disappeared, and her look became sorrowful; her eyes now reflected sadness as she spoke in a desperate tone.
"But Noah, you know I'm in a difficult situation now, right? I know you're mad at me and the others for what we did that night, but please give me a chance to prove I won't do it again..."
Julia's voice trailed off when she noticed Noah's lack of reaction to her confession. She gritted her teeth almost without sound and stepped forward to close the distance between them.
She stopped just a few inches before him and looked to meet his gaze. Her hand tried to touch his.
"Noah, I promise to give you a chance and try to love you. But I need your help... Huh!?" Her voice was enchanting as if she were casting a spell to win his heart.
"Could you say something instead of just admiring my beauty? Noah, I'm..." Her voice trails off as Noah cuts her off.
