Chapter 248 Abnormal Thinking

• “Why didn't you tell me?” Clifford was somewhat displeased. He wasn't too satisfied with the reunion either, especially since Elaine had saved Zendaya. They should be confronting each other right now instead of this weird situation. Had I known earlier that Elaine would come, I'd have certainly made good use of the opportunity.
• When his train of thought ended there, Clifford suddenly felt an unease stirring within him. His gaze involuntarily swept over Zendaya, who was standing quietly to the side with her head lowered. I knew it. Despite what Zendaya said earlier, she thinks only of me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly felt inferior and become quiet upon seeing Elaine. I bet she realized that there's no way she can return to my side now that Elaine has returned. She shouldn't have tried to have a temper tantrum with me. Not everyone can play hard to get. Even if she cries now, I can't be soft-hearted with her anymore.
• Isabella was confused when she noticed Clifford stealing glances at Zendaya, so she decided to use her power. As a result, she almost fainted from holding back her laughter. She's just trying not to be involved by lowering her head awkwardly. Besides, she's currently a service staff on duty. Now that the issue has been resolved, it's only natural that she stepped aside, waiting to serve. Is Clifford seriously expecting her to enter the spotlight and put on a show? Zendaya, lift your head quickly. Let him see if there are tears on your face. Otherwise, you'll be subject to slander, which is more terrifying than sexual rumors!
