A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 79

Bella's face went pale, and she was stunned. She couldn't believe that Jack, the man she'd dumped, was with another girl, and a good-looking one at that. The secluded path and their solitude made others assume they were a couple.

Jack met Bella's gaze, finding within it a labyrinth of emotions. It was as if her eyes held secrets he couldn't unravel. But soon, Gigi pulled Bella away.

As Bella's figure faded into the distance, a soft sigh escaped Jack's lips.

Amelia had noticed Bella and was aware of her history with Jack. Their breakup had caused a stir on campus. That said, she was shocked by the coldness she noticed between them.

She asked tentatively, "You… and Bella—have broken up, right?"

Jack smiled wryly. "We were never in a relationship to begin with, so there was no breakup."

Amelia thought about it and realized he was right, feeling a spark of joy in her heart.

She stuck out her tongue sheepishly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

As they walked, they found themselves at the entrance of the women's dorm without realizing it. Jack smiled and bid Amelia farewell, but she stopped him.

He turned around to see her looking at him expectantly.

"Jack, are you free tomorrow?"

He asked, puzzled, "What's up?"

A blush crept across Amelia's cheeks as she shyly asked, "Can we study together again tomorrow? Besides language, I'm taking other courses too. I could use your help if I don't understand anything."
