Chapter 121 Aria Slapping Mia On Face

• Aria was just about to grab her lunch when Mia suddenly rushed over and latched onto her arm, her grip tight and almost desperate. Aria froze, her stomach sinking at Mia’s tear-streaked face. She could barely process what was happening. The cafeteria buzzed around them, but it felt like the whole world had just stopped.
• "Aria, please, if you have any complaints, just vent to me," Mia pleaded, her voice trembling. "Don’t punish Mom and Dad. They really love you, I know you don’t like me, but I’ll move out, I swear! Just please... come back home. Don’t stay outside anymore."
• Aria blinked, stunned by the sudden flood of words, and she shook her head slightly, trying to pull her arm away. Her thoughts were a mess. Mia’s eyes were filled with fake concern, but there was something in the way she clung to her that felt wrong. Aria’s heart thudded, but she didn’t know how to respond.
