Chapter 517
Austin thought to himself, ‘Is it really just Elijah and Cam at Noble Vista? What about Bradley and Xander?!
His deep–set eyes narrowed slightly. For three years as roommates, he had always thought Bradley wasn’t nearly as kind hearted as he seemed on the
surface.
The idea of Elijah staying with Cameron alone left Austin with a bitter feeling. He thought, ‘Time to invite some chaos. Well then, I’ll just get in touch with
Xander instead.‘
Austin sent Xander a WhatsApp message: [Xan, you’re at Noble Vista too? Lucky guy. You can still play with Cam and Eli after graduation.]
Xander was already fuming over Tyrell’s failed invitation when the message popped up. At first, it made no sense. He wasn’t gaming with anyone. But then, realization struck like lightning, ‘Wait… Cameron and Elijah are back at Noble Vista? Even playing games together?‘
Without replying to Austin, Xander immediately opened the game app. Sure enough, both Cameron and Elijah were online. Spectator mode confirmed it -they were teamed up.
“Damn it!” Xander vaulted off the couch.
Poble Vista right now!‘
He thought, ‘What’s Elijah playing at? No way am I letting this slide! have to go to
Grabbing his phone, he stormed out the door.
Austin frowned at his unanswered message. He assumed Xander hadn’t seen it yet and sent another one: [I really envy you guys living together. Seriously, I should buy a place there. Then, we can be neighbors again.]
Xander hadn’t even glanced at his phone. Of course, the message went unanswered.
Austin thought with a frown, ‘I really need to head back home sooner than planned.‘
Cameron and Elijah had been gaming all afternoon. Flexing her stiff fingers, she glanced at Elijah. “Last round, then let’s take a break?”
“Sure.” Elijah nodded, only then noticing through the floor–to–ceiling windows that dusk had fallen. Time passed that quickly.
As she tapped her screen, Cameron asked absently, “What do you want for dinner?”
Elijah was surprised, thinking, ‘Is he inviting me to stay?‘
He smiled, “Anything’s fine.”
Cameron said, “My freezer has a vegan frozen pizza. Quick and easy.” No need for heavy meals at night–it would just make her gain weight.
Elijah smiled gently, “Sounds good.” The food didn’t matter, only the company.
Too focused on her game, Cameron missed his smile
Cameron had just put the pizza in the oven when the doorbell rang. “Elijah, mind checking who that is?” she called from the kitchen.
“Sure,” Elijah said, getting up. He walked to the door and pulled it open. The next second, he saw Xander, who had an annoyed face.
Elijah was surprised, thinking, ‘Xander? What brings him here?‘
Xander’s glare darkened exponentially upon confirming Elijah’s presence. “Why are you here?”
