Chapter 147

Jean was stunned. “What the hell? He changed his stance?!

“I don’t know what's with him, either. | think he’s actually possessed. | can’t predict him,” | replied.

“He even said he’s gonna help Harry and that this was for my sake. He claimed he didn’t wantto ‘regret’

what | did to him, so he was basically atoning for my sins. Or something.”

“Dafuq?! Is he actually hospitalized for insanity?!” Jean exclaimed.

| laughed tiredly. Even | had no explanation for any of this.

After the call, | thought about asking Soren about his invitation. But at the stime... | was too timid to bring it

up.

I hadn't received an invitation, after all.

Maybe we had ssort of psychic connection because he calledright at that moment.

| laughed when | saw his name-maybe we really were bound together in sway.

“Hello? Lord Soren, what is it?” | answered.

Since he wouldn't letcall him Mr. Kenway, | figured I'd just be cheeky instead.

As expected, he laughed. “Really? You're gonna addresslike I'm your baron?”

“You wantto be casual with you when you're actually blue-blooded! So | picked the best of both worlds,” |

quipped.

“Well, if it delights you, I'll allow it,” he said, amused. “Did you get the invitation from the National Academy? It's

their centennial next month.”

“Oh, so you're onto this too!”

“Huh?”

“Jean calledearlier. The Faculty of Business has already notified their students, but | haven't heard anything

from mine,” | explained. “You got yours too, huh?”

Honestly, | felt a little jealous.

What if | was the only one who didn’t get an invitation? That would be so embarrassing.

“Yeap. The rector and the others calledjust a while ago. Asked if I'd be available that day.”

Wow. So the rector and his people personally called Soren to ask if he'd like to show up.

The gap between his status and mine just kept getting wider.

| suddenly felt a mix of inferiority and admiration.

“I'm sure you'll get invited too. You're a famous alumnus,” Soren said. “If you decide to attend, | will too.”

My heart leapt. Did he just admit he’d only go if | did?!

I... I haven't received any news yet. Maybe I'm not qualified enough,” I replied timidly.

“Will you be available on the 6th of next month?” he asked.

To be honest, no! | had a pile of commissions to complete finishing Soleil's dress, preparing for next year’s

Medhelanon fashion show-and just thinking about it made my head spin.

But this was a chance to revisit the university with Soren!

Although we cfrom different faculties and worlds, | doubted I'd even run into him during the celebration.

Still, | couldn't help feeling excited.

“I can try to make time,” | said.

“I see, | see.”

What did he mean now? Was he planning to inform the university himself?!

“Today's the day your divorce case is going to trial, right? How did it go?” he asked.

| was surprised. He remembered!

“Um... Edward's sick. He's hospitalized,” | said dryly. “So... it's postponed.”

“Postponed? Till when?” Soren asked, startled.
