Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Open or Closed?

**Rosalie’s POV

“Do you know Soren?” I asked Ethan.

I should’ve asked this question much sooner, but I was very used to seeing Soren, so their similarity no longer bothered me. And the past few days, I’d been so distracted that this question never came to mind… until just now.

Ethan and Soren looked alike… was there any relationship between them, or was this purely coincidence?

He looked at me, and his eyes filled with a mix of emotions.

Ethan finally replied, “I know him now.”

I looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

He smiled bitterly, and looked at me with a heartbroken expression on his face. “He’s my rival in love..”

I had not expected that to be the answer, and was struck dumb for a moment.

Then, I felt my face beginning to heat up, and I heard myself trying to explain, “He… he’s a good friend of mine!”

Why did I feel the need to explain myself to him?!

Ethan visibly relaxed a bit, and the corner of his lips turned up slightly.
