After hearing that, Severin looked surprised and shocked. He had been suspecting that Sofia intentionally came over to visit him instead of passing by as she said. Then again, he did not dare to overthink it and was afraid that he was flattering himself.
Yet, Sofia showed up so quickly after her last visit. If there was nothing serious that brought her here, Severin could confirm that Sofia does have a crush on him.
"Why don't you just accept her? I think she's a nice girl and she really likes you a lot," Sheila chuckled while covering her mouth with her hand.
She just found it amusing looking at Severin's expression.
"Alright. We should head inside now. She has been waiting for you for so long. I bet she is really looking forward to having you back here." Diane chuckled.
As someone with past experience, she could understand how Sofia felt. The feelings of missing someone and the desire to meet your loved ones soon. Last time, she did not follow Severin when he and Sheila went out on a trip together. Although she was busy training, she would always think and miss Severin when she was free.
"Ahem, ahem. Stop that. We're just friends and nothing else." Severin coughed to cover that he was feeling a little shy before heading in.
Megan shouted out intentionally, "That's what you think. You just need to accept it and it's not going to be a problem!"
Meanwhile, Sofia was sitting in the living room having her tea. When she arrived here, Severin's parents told her that Severin was invited to attend Prince Philip's birthday celebration in Oolong City. Maurice had offered her to stay since Severin was coming back in just a few days.
Nevertheless, Severin did not come back on the day he told Maurice. If Sofia did not spent most of her time training, she probably died because of boredom.
Severin was still curious why Sofia would come here again. "Miss Sofia, is there anything I can do for you?"
At that moment, Sofia felt so speechless and shameful that she nearly fainted. All these while, she had been trying hard to avoid this topic but Severin that idiot did not get her and asked her that question.
Despite it being a normal question, Sofia actually found it hard to answer. During the last two days, she had been trying to come up with different excuses but none of them sounded legit. Surely, she could not just tell Severin she came because she missed him.
"Can't I just come here without any reason? Are you saying I can only come over when I need your help?" she asked.
After thinking hard, Sofia did not answer the question.
