Kapitel 382: So please, stop following me around

Lila noticed Ethan right away and, without a second thought, sat down next to him.

Zara and Julia exchanged surprised glances at the scene.

"Do you two know each other?" Zara asked.

"Yeah," Ethan nodded.

He and Lila looked at each other for a moment before answering in unison.

"We were childhood friends."

"We met two days ago."

"...What???"

Everyone around them was completely confused by the two wildly different answers.

Ethan frowned and shot Lila a look.

Lila, looking innocent, shrugged. Well, they hadn't exactly coordinated their story, so she figured she might as well just tell the truth.

After another glance at each other, they decided to try again.

"We met two days ago."

"We were childhood friends."

"...Huh???"

Ethan looked at Lila again, clearly frustrated.

Forget it. He gave up and simply explained that they were friends.
