Chapter 17 Beatrix

• BEATRIX
• Beatrix couldn't help but smile as she admired the jewelry in front of her. It was truly beautiful. Normally, she wasn't one to accept gifts from guys, but Neo was different. He had a habit of showering her with gifts, even against her protests. She knew he was just being a good friend, especially since he was also friends with her sister.
• Despite her efforts to resist, Beatrix found herself developing feelings for Neo. However, she knew she shouldn't entertain them. Firstly, he was much older than her and viewed her more like a sister. Secondly, she was still in high school, and she doubted anyone would want to date a high school student. Lastly, she was certain Neo didn't see her romantically, given the reasons she had just listed.
