章 267: Estelle’s Christmas Chase      

[ESTELLE]

You know those romantic holiday movies where the girl magically ends up with the guy she likes, complete with snowflakes falling in slow motion and twinkling lights in the background? Yeah, well, my Christmas wasn't exactly like that.

It was like a weird game where he ignored me just enough to be frustrating but never actually told me to leave. And since I have zero shame when it comes to getting what I want, I spent the entire day determined to stick to him like glue.

It started early in the morning when I spotted him near the town square. He had that signature brooding look—dark coat, hands in his pockets, and messy hair that somehow made him look annoyingly attractive instead of unkempt.
