Semua Bab Trapped in Love: Bab 1351 - Bab 1360

14 years later. Inside the airport, numerous tourists diverted their attention to a young girl with a ponytail sprinting hurriedly.She dashed past the crowd of people toward the airport entrance, exerting all her energy for the final sprint upon spotting the two men nearby."Hey, you two!" she shouted, rushing toward the men, who turned around upon hearing her voice.She spread her arms and pounced toward them, prompting the two men to hastily open their arms and welcome her embrace."Welcome back!" She hugged them tightly, cuddling them affectionately."Lia, why are you still acting like a child?""Liora! Are you trying to suffocate me?"The two men spoke in unison, and Liora loosened her hug, her tear-reddened eyes steady as she stood on the ground and wiped away her tears.She cracked a sweet smile at them. "Welcome home, my brothers."Tyler smirked, patting the back of Liora's head. "Yes, we're back."Axel smiled gracefully. "Thank you for coming to pick us up."Liora

Tyler and Axel gazed at Liora."What are you laughing about?" asked Tyler coldly. Liora shook her head. "Nothing. Oh, right. Are you back for good?""You could say that we'll be in Angelbay unless we're away for business trips," explained Axel."What about you?" Tyler asked.Liora lowered her gaze and fiddled with her pasta. "I won't leave unless I have a job to do. Uncle Ben passed away. I'll just be visiting his grave thrice a year."Tyler and Axel were shocked."Uncle Ben passed away last year. He had a long, good life, and he passed away peacefully. However, it was sudden."Liora felt the urge to cry when she mentioned Benjamin. She forced a smile and said, "Well, Uncle Ben was already 80 years old, so it's only normal."Tyler and Axel felt a pang of sympathy at the sight of Liora trying to hold it together. She had managed to keep such a significant matter a secret until now, not revealing anything to them.They realized that she had grown so much that she would only sh

Tyler and Axel returned to their room, having been ordered to leave her room.Axel let out a heavy sigh. "Ty, let's honor Lia's wish and refrain from discussing this further."Tyler countered, "Axel, think about it. We were shipped overseas at the tender age of six and subjected to rigorous training among those jungle-dwelling assassins. Survival itself was a daily challenge. We've never backed down, not even in the face of death."Axel fell silent for a bit. "Lia is different. She's a girl.""Do you not grasp the implication?" Tyler pressed."I do. You want Lia to confront her inner demons and triumph over them," Axel acknowledged."Exactly."Shaking his head with a smile, Axel interjected, "Ty, it's admirable to set high standards for oneself, but Lia has the right to avoid certain trials, too.""What about the future? Should she evade challenges indefinitely?" Tyler challenged.Again, Axel remained silent. "So, are you suggesting we locate Chester and introduce him to Lia?"

Reyna glanced at Chester, her brow furrowed in confusion. "Chester, you.--"Before Reyna could finish her sentence, Chester dashed off after Liora."Hold on, Chester!" Reyna called out, her voice echoing down the hallway. "That's the lecture hall for freshmen. What are you doing there?"Ignoring Reyna's inquiry, Chester pressed forward into the lecture hall, his eyes scanning the room for Liora.Despite the passage of 14 years, there hadn't been a single trace of Liora to be found. Yet, he was certain that the person he glimpsed earlier was her. Even with the passage of time, there was hardly any significant difference from her childhood. He could still vividly recall the clarity of her eyes.Her vehement denial only served to strengthen his belief that she was indeed Liora.Hurriedly, Chester entered the lecture hall, freezing in his tracks as he spotted the professor engaged in conversation with Liora.As Liora settled into her seat, her gaze briefly met his before she feigned

Liora remembered and asked, "Did you get a new car?"Tyler sneered and playfully flicked Liora's forehead. "You're just realizing it now?"Liora covered her forehead. "That hurts! Do you know how strong you are?""I do. Let me see if it's okay." Tyler pushed away Liora's hand with a smile.Liora leaned her forehead close to Tyler's face.While Tyler was checking her, she swiftly bumped her forehead against his."Ouch!" Tyler moaned in pain.Liora sniggered mischievously.Tyler covered his forehead. "I haven't disciplined you in a while, and you're itching for it."Liora raised an eyebrow. "I can retaliate. Don't provoke me!"Tyler shook his head in frustration. "Let's go and eat.""Sure!"-At Angelbay University, Reyna searched for Chester in the cafeteria for a while before finding him sitting in a corner.She took a seat opposite him with her food tray.Chester glanced at her before continuing to eat his lunch."How do you still have the appetite to eat? You never sp
