223 [Bonus chapter] CH. 222: Her Last Straw

(Flashback)

"What do you want for your birthday? Hmm? You're turning twelve, right?" Noah asked Heather with a smile.

Today was one of the days where they were able to dine together.

Alexander was not in his cram school.

Dexter was not spending time with his friends.

Hunter was not training.

And Aldger was not studying about stories.

Heather couldn't even remember when was the last time they dined together like this.

There are those times, where she would spend dinner with one or two of them but it has been so long since they became complete.

"A big party? Let's invite your classmates?" Michelle added.

Heather slowly put her cutlery down and looked up at them before smiling her already practiced smile. The same smile she had been using after the last betrayal. The same smile they were seeing on the photos that was attached to the reports.

"What is it?" Michelle asked again seeing her smile.
