A Little More than Strangers Chapter 71
“Dad…” Via’s lips trembled as she called for the familiar man before her. He was still the same. She would always find him seated in his working area whenever she went to his office. Her father's head snapped up at the sound of her voice, and there was a stunned silence for a moment. Then, in a move that took her completely by surprise, he stood up and hurried over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. Via froze, her body stiff with shock. She couldn't remember the last time her father had hugged her like this, with such raw emotion. "I'm sorry, my child," her father whispered, his voice thick with regret. The tears threatening to spill finally broke free, streaming down her cheeks. She had never expected to hear those words from him, words she had longed for all these years. With just those words, all the fear and the pain that she thought she had forgotten was completely washed away. Something heavy was lifted from her chest, and she could not stop herself from bawling her

"Miss Hansen, can you show me what's inside your pocket?" The professor asked her as soon as she passed her test paper."My pocket?" Via thought about what could be inside her pocket before she took out everything stored inside. Though she was baffled by the sudden question, she did not see any reason to not comply with the request.She showed her everything. A candy wrapper, a paper clip, and a small piece of paper. Upon seeing the paper, she was reminded of the request that Sheila asked her. She should deliver the note to her brother later when she arrived home."What's this?" The professor tried to take the note but Via pulled away. Though she had nothing to hide, she just did not think that it was right for others to know what was written in the note. After all, the note was not hers. It would be embarrassing to let them read the note that Sheila asked her to deliver to her brother."This is a little confidential, Miss." She tried to hide the note but the professor insisted on see

"Is that her?""The top student who cheated?""How shameless. She acts all high and mighty as if she was the best, but she was just the top student because of cheating.""If that was me, I wouldn't show my face at school anymore!"Via bit her lips after hearing the students's murmurs. They did not even know who she was and yet they were saying all kinds of things about her. "Should I just shut their mouths? How dare they talk behind your back? They used to look up and respect you!" Cassie, her best friend, said in an annoyed tone. "These people who don't have anything good to do should just shut up!""Don't mind them, Cassie. It's fine. It's my fault anyway," Via calmed her down."How is it your fault? Was it you who wrote the note? Did you even look at it? You don't even know the content of the paper!"She appreciated that her best friend was getting mad in her place, but she also knew that being angry would not help. Truth be told, she wanted to disappear. She felt like what happen

"Did you know about the marriage talks?" Via asked her brother as soon as they arrived home.Collin nodded his head. "Troye is a fine man. He's the best match for you.""You could have told me," she said in an annoyed tone. "I was the only one who did not know what was going on earlier.""You'll know eventually so I didn't think it would be necessary to tell you beforehand," Collin tried to explain but it just annoyed her even further.Though she was already expecting it, it still hurt to hear it coming from his own mouth. Her brother knew, but he did not even inform her about it. Were they expecting that she would just accept everything? Did they think that she would just blindly obey again this time?She could not even tell if she was a member of the family or just a mere decoration for the Hansen name. All her life, she dedicated her every action to uphold the reputation of their family. Why did she have to give everything for a family that never even saw her as a person?Via sighed

Via opened up her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. Her eyes widened, and she immediately sat up when she realized she was in a hotel."Ah!" Via held her throbbing head, and she could even feel her brain pulsating from the inside. She slowly dropped her head on the pillow and covered her face with the blanket. Was she experiencing a hangover?She could not believe it. She never thought that she would be experiencing a hangover, but there she was, covered in a blanket while regretting that she drank herself until she was wasted!After the pain subsided a little, she slapped her face and groaned. Blurred memories popped into her mind, reminding her of what she had done the previous night.Was it real? She checked herself and she sighed in frustration when she realized that she was naked under the blanket and her body was sore. Just what did she do last night?She searched for her phone around the bed and found it on the bedside table. Her eyes widened, and she bit her lips when she sa

Via looked around as soon as she arrived at the coffee shop. Her eyes immediately landed on Cassie, who was casually seated in the corner. Her feet trod towards her friend while her heart beat faster as if it was about to jump out of her body.She sat settled on the edge of the chair, her fingers trembling as she put her phone down on the table. She took a deep breath as she felt Cassie's curious gaze upon her."Are you sure you're okay?" Cassie asked with worry in her eyes.Via forced a smile and nodded. "I was just a little nervous, I guess."She wanted to laugh at her remark. A little nervous? How could she be a little nervous when she knew she messed up big time?"So, what are you going to tell me to make you this nervous?" Cassie leaned in closer before she continued, "This is so not you, Vi."Via covered her face with her hands. "I think I messed up."Cassie chuckled. "Well, you really did last night. I've never seen you that wasted for the past 15 years that I have known you."

"Are you done with your tantrums?" Via's dad asked her as soon as she entered the dining room.So, he knew. Via resisted the urge to laugh bitterly. Her father knew about her absence the other night, but he did not even bother to look for her. Was her way of resistance just a simple tantrum to him?"I'm sorry for being emotional, Dad."That was right. Via might admit to being emotional, but she would not apologize for what she felt. All her life she had been an obedient daughter, but it seemed like she would not be able to keep that image anymore."If you're done with being immature, you should go and meet with Troye," her father uttered nonchalantly as if her opinion in the situation did not matter. "The young man had been looking forward to know you better. You should show the same enthusiasm as him."Via's brows met when she heard her father's statement. She was about to express her thoughts, but her brother cut her off."Troye is a nice guy, Vi. You should at least give him a chanc

"You prefer Mocha Espresso Right?"Via nodded. She watched Troye talk to the intercom about their order and smiled. He even brought her to her favorite coffee shop to buy her usual drink. That meeting was not made on a whim. To her, Troye prepared everything in advance and made sure that she would enjoy her time with him.Was it what they call a date? Her cheeks felt warm at the thought. Why would they go on a date? For sure, Troye never considered having a date with her since they were already having marriage talks between them. Trying to ease her mind from the sudden unnecessary thoughts, she tried to focus her attention on the view outside the car. She enjoyed the silence between them as Troye continued to drive towards their destination."We're here."The car stopped at the entrance of the Park. Troye was about to remove his seatbelt, but Via stopped him."I can go out of the car on my own. No need to always open the door for me." Since she already knew what Troye was up to, she ha
