Bab 1574: Jake And Noah

Noah simply glared at him, attempting to swim towards the pool's edge to escape, but Jake held onto his hand firmly. "Scared to face the truth, huh? How long are you going to keep up this pretense?"

Noah struggled to free his hand, but Jake pushed him against the pool wall, his gaze unwavering. "This charade will only end up hurting both of us. Just accept it. You feel the same way I do."

Noah scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Accept the truth? Your Highness, please behave according to your royal status. If someone were to see us like this, it wouldn't bode well for your regal image."

Jake sensed the mockery in Noah's words, a pang of nostalgia tugging at his heart. "Are you still dwelling on those days back in senior high school?" Jake inquired softly. "I was trying to protect you."
