NovelsFreeChapter 273: When Marissa saw Aelfric's non her phone screen, she assumed it was a message from the deputy chief instructor of Doomsday Base to Black Mallow, the chief instructor. However, upon opening the message, she was surprised to see it was actually addressed to Tiffany. Aelfric and Tiffany were not acquainted, nor were they friends. He was simply requesting to add Tiffany as a contact on WhatsApp. Curious about Aelfric's intentions, Marissa recalled the complicated expression he had given her at Derek's engagement party and speculated about his plans Wanting to find out more, Marissa accepted his friend request. Shortly after, Aelfric messaged her: "Miss Nash, could we possibly have dinner together tonight?" Marissa was startled by Aelfric's sudden and unexpected dinner invitation. Given that she was now married to Connor, Aelfric's brother and her former fiancé, and Aelfric's sister was her arch-rival, the invitation felt awkward and inappropriate After a brief hesitation, Marissa responded, "I'm sorry, but I'm busy tonight."

Do you have romantic feelings for me?" Aelfric clarified, "Don't read too much into it, Miss Nash. I simply want to thank you for helping my grandfather that day." Marissa replied, "For that?
