Chapter 118
After some introduction, Nola knew that the girl next to Leon was named Keira Natt, who majored in cello and had a relatively quiet personality.
However, Keira called Leon Uncle Leon, which surprised her. She looked at Elvis in confusion. Did she misunderstand their relationship?
But somehow, she felt Leon had a different feeling for Keira.
Nola’s first impression of Keira was that she was quiet. Nola didn’t know whether Keira kept silent because they were unfamiliar. Sitting in the private room, Nola felt that it was a quiet day. She came to her senses only to find that Godwin, who usually talked a great deal, was taciturn and seemed to be in a bad mood.
Were they here for a party today?
Godwin seemed to realize that his depressed mood affected the atmosphere, and he gradually cheered himself up.
“Keira, you’re already in your junior year. Why are you still so afraid of Leon? He won’t do anything to you. Is he violent?”
“Of course not.” Keira quickly waved her hands. Leon glanced at Godwin and poured some water for Keira.
“Keira is obedient. I am afraid that you will have a bad influence on her, so I seldom bring her to our party.”
“Am I that scary?”
“Of course.”
Nola could not help bursting into laughter. She felt a little pity for Godwin and thought him pitiful. Justus arrived a little late with Janie. Godwin looked at the two with resentment on his face, “I feel that I am the most unsuitable person today. Can you express sympathy for me?”
“Mr. Burke, there are so many girls chasing you, but you don’t even cast a glance at them,” said Justus abruptly, making Godwin speechless.
“Relationships do not depend on appearance, like buying groceries, but on feelings.”
“So, what do
you
feel? You used to give girls a chance at least, but now you do not even give them a chance. Are you…”
“Godwin spends every day in the hospital. It’s understandable that his health is getting worse as he gets older.” Nola stared at Leon, dumbfounded. It was incredible that he would tease Godwin.
“Nola, look at them. Janie, shouldn’t you help me?”
“No, I am on Justus‘ side.”
“You value your boyfriend over your friend.”
“Thank you for your compliment. You are not as important as Justus.”
Godwin was helpless, “Where’s Spencer? Why hasn’t he come yet? I need his comfort.”
Justus immediately added, “Maybe you will be disappointed. Spencer is bringing a girl here today. Take care of yourself! What about the kittens and puppies at the pet store? You can have one to keep you company. You will love it.”
“Justus, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!”
“How dare you!” retorted Janie. Godwin was teased by others and was extremely aggrieved. The private room burst into

laughter at once.
Spencer arrived late with his girlfriend. He said, “Sorry, we were stuck in a traffic jam
Nola and Janie looked behind him curiously, wondering what the girl looked like. It was heard that the also liked playing
games.
An otaku girl?
Various images and suppositions presented themselves to Nola’s mind, none of which were so shocking as the appesence of the real person.
When Nola saw that playful face appearing in front of her, she froze.
“My God! When did you two know each other?”
The girl whom Spencer had brought with him was none other than Linda, from whom she had jut separated. What a
coincidence!
Nola had always suspected that the man with whom Linda was daily obsessed was a liar. But it turned out he was Ehis good friend from growing up together, Spencer, the guy in charge of Skyline Games.
Why didn’t she think of it?
“You already knew it?” Nola turned to look at Elvis. He didn’t tell her anything about it. But she was always worried that Linda would be cheated.
Linda stuck out her tongue and introduced herself elegantly.
“I just want to surprise you. It’s my idea not to tell you.”
“You are annoying. I have been worried that you will be cheated. Elf, how can you hide it from me?”
“It seems that you are in favor of Spencer being your best friend’s boyfriend.”
Nola smiled. If it was Spencer, of course, she could rest assured. He was a good friend of Elf, so she trusted him not to be a scumbag. Importantly, even if she had objected, it would have been useless! Linda was smitten with him before she had seen him in person.
She was very curious about whether Spencer knew that Linda was so infatuated with him.
Nola did not expect them to talk much tonight. Unsurprisingly, it did not take long for everyone to bond. Keira was quiet, but she was not very different from Nola’s age, and with Janie and Linda around, they soon struck up a conversation.
Nola noticed that Leon took great care of Keira. Something flashed across her mind. Did Leon bring Keira up and fall in love with her at the same time?
It seemed to make sense.
So, what the hell was going on with them? After going back tonight, she should ask Elf about it.
As for Linda, Nola felt that Linda had got a benefit. Back then, she specially asked Elf to accompany them to dinner. Now, they were all friends, so the rule of treating dinner should be ignored.
Linda confessed honestly that she was stunned for a long time when she knew that it was Spencer.
“At that time, Spencer invited me to dinner. I stood on the piazza and watched him for a long time, fearing that after a while another man would appear. It felt like a dream as you had said.”

Nola found Spencer attentive to Linda at dinner, and he looked as tender as if they had known each other for a long time.
I have said that the two of you have an affair, but you just don’t admit it. Look at you. It doesn’t look like you have just known each other for a few days.” Linda stuck out her tongue and blushed a little. Nola almost thought that she was dazzled, but sure enough, love could change a person.
“So, did you go to an Internet café for a date?”
“How do you know?” Nola almost spit out. She knew it. If they were together in the future, would the computer in the study room need an oversized screen, so that the two of them could play games and scream out together?
That picture was a great shock! Nola couldn’t imagine what it would be like for Spencer to scream out. It was not for him.
“Swearing is for me, and he only talks to me on the microphone.”
“Tsk, tsk. tsk!” Nola laughed, and finally let go of the great stone in her heart. Fortunately, what she had feared before was unnecessary. She had been afraid that if the man was not as good as Linda imagined, would she turn around and leave, or would she give in?
Fortunately, that possibility did not arise.
