Chapter 47 A Gift for Goodbye

+8 Pearls

Naomi’s nature made it obvious–she might not say anything on the surface, but she’d always find a way to get revenge in

secret.

“You should go home with her if she asked you,” Zayden’s voice suddenly came from behind them.

Eliza looked over just in time to see him wrapping his hand around Naomi’s. The gesture was intimate–Naomi had often linked arms with him, but this time, it was Zayden who reached out first.

With only a glance, Eliza responded calmly, “Sorry, I really don’t have time.”

She turned to leave, but Naomi called after her, loud enough for the nearby students to hear,

“Eliza, did you know? Zayden and I are dating now.”

Zayden said nothing.

Naomi continued, “You’re my sister, and I want your blessing. I’ve already agreed with Grace–we’re getting engaged after graduation. Our parents are meeting tonight to talk about it. If you don’t come, I’ll be really sad.”

Eliza raised an eyebrow. “You really want me there?”

“Of course!” Naomi smiled sincerely. “No matter what, you’re my sister. I want your blessing.”

“Alright then. I’ll come with you tonight–and give you my most heartfelt blessing.

Her voice sharpened at the last few words, and without looking back, she walked straight into her classroom.

That evening, the Holt family’s car waited outside the school.

Naomi climbed in with ease, patting the leather seat beside her. “Eliza, come on.”

She and Zayden sat together, leaving Eliza across from them.

In the car, Naomi grabbed Zayden’s hand.

In the past, such a scene would have cut into Eliza like a knife.

But now? She didn’t feel a thing.

She remembered this routine from her previous life–Naomi clinging to Zayden, constantly using these little gestures to get under her skin. It was all too familiar. Too tired.

Inside the small, confined space, Naomi leaned against Zayden like she was trying to become a part of him,

Still, Eliza’s expression didn’t change.

When they arrived and Zayden had already stepped inside, Naomi turned to her again. “Eliza, aren’t you curious how we got. together? I was going to tell you.”

“Oh Eliza played along. “How did you get together?”

Naomi blushed. “Last night, Zayden took me out. I didn’t know he was going to confess to me… and after that, we went to a hotel

Her tone was vague on purpose, designed to let imaginations run wild.

But Eliza saw through it immediately.

If Naomi were telling the truth, she would’ve bragged about it in the car–with Zayden right there–just to humiliate her. That she didn’t only confirmed the lie.

“Of course, Eliza replied with a bright smile.

Inside the Rivers family home, Nathan and Evelyn beamed as they greeted Zayden and Grace.

“Mom, I brought Eliza back on purpose.” Naomi said sweetly, linking arms with her. “She said she wanted to give me at birthday blessing.”

Evelyn’s smile thinned. “Didn’t we already cut ties? Why did you bring her back? Wash your hands and get ready to eat.”
