However, Liam knew that Elijah would definitely come. Despite being slow with feelings, he wouldn't need to hide from Ella like this. He must have been delayed by something important.
When they returned to the boarding hall, they saw Ella still craning her neck, constantly looking toward the entrance. She was still waiting for Elijah, still hoping for a farewell.
Yet, amidst the bustling crowd in the hall, that familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing Liam and Maya return, Ella immediately withdrew her expectant gaze and smiled, saying, "Maya, I'm about to board. You and the principal take care; I'm waiting for your wedding, make it happen soon."
Ella hoped that by the time Maya and Liam married, she would have let go of Elijah, and hoped that by then, Elijah wouldn't avoid her anymore.
Maya looked at Ella's awkward expression, took a deep breath, turned her head, and glanced towards the entrance, still not seeing Elijah's figure.
