Chapter 393: Gone (1/2)

Hannah's father insisted on visiting her apartment, but Hannah didn't let him go there, so he had to reluctantly drive to the train station in Oakleaf city and catch a train to their home city.

Once they left, Alex and Hannah drove back to their apartment.

Emily had once more prepared a meal for them. Sarah wasn't there and was busy playing the game. They didn't get angry as they could understand her sentiment.

Once they were done eating, Hannah returned back to her room. Alex stayed around with Emily in the living room and spent the next 2 hours talking with her.

Eventually, he laid forth the idea of them becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. They liked each other and were very compatible so there was no reason to keep it dragging for any longer.

Emily was flustered for a bit, but once she settled down and thought, accepting his proposal was just a superior choice. He kissed her once again, only this time, she didn't shy away like last time.

Seeing that she was quite accepting, he kissed for far longer this time. Eventually, it was too much for Emily, so she decided to stop and made excuses to go back to her room with a red face.

Alex was very shocked himself. He couldn't believe that he had the gall to do what he had just done. However, he did not regret it in any way.

A smile appeared on his face and he made his way to his room.

”Urgh… I need to fix it if it's fixable or just throw it away,” Alex thought when he saw the pile of torn-off helmet pieces on the side of his bed.

He changed his clothes to something more comfortable and got into the capsule.

He opened his eyes back in the game and sighed a little. 'So the formation is still on, huh? How long has it been? A month?' he thought.

According to Zexi, if his words were to be believed, the formation would be undone in the next few days.

So, Alex decided to follow his routine until the end. He called Pearl to train with him.

Pearl was still venturing out in the fog and came back as soon as he called for him. Pearl came running at him and as soon as he saw him, he jumped.

For a second, Alex thought Pearl was trying to attack him, but he was really just trying to get into his embrace. ”Hey, are you that happy to see me talk again?” Alex said with a laugh, but then he felt slight shivering coming off from Pearl.

”Huh? What's wrong Pearl? Are you scared? Were you nervous because I left?” Alex asked.

”Meow,” Pearl said, which rang in his head as 'Yes.'

”Aww, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you. There is no need to be nervous now; I'm here,” Alex said.
