Chapter 380 Her Mentor Is Coming Home
He’d keep this secret a little longer.
Jensen only said Asher would be back around Christmas. There was no exact date.
If the timing was off, Zora would just get her hopes up for nothing.
“You sure everything’s fine? If I can help with anything, you have to tell me p>
Zora still sensed something was wrong. He looked really troubled.
“Zora… your mentor might be coming back soon p>
Leighton tightened his grip on his fork. Her eyes were bright and honest, full of nothing but trust in him.
It made his selfish feelings feel awful in comparison.
He knew how badly she’d been waiting for Asher to return.
“Really?! How do you know p>
Zora jumped right up, forgetting all about her food. She set down her fork and grabbed Leighton’s hands tight, her eyes sparkling with hope.
She hadn’t heard a single word from Asher in three months.
This sudden news of his return made her excitement impossible to hide.
She was so happy she felt like running outside to celebrate.
“Is it true? For real? How did you find out? Do you have more news? Did you talk to him p>
Zora shook his hands back and forth fast.
“Tell me, tell me now p>
She was so excited; she grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
Leighton looked up at her glowing, happy smile. Her eyes were like stars, wiping all the tiredness off her face.
His heart ached sharply, filled with bitter sadness.
Just hearing news about Asher made her this happy, like she was about to float away.
Leighton had never seen her this joyful before.

“It’s true. I don’t know the exact day. Just that it’s around Christmas.

“I can’t tell you how I found out yet. I’ll explain everything once all the trouble is gone, okay p>
Leighton looked straight into her eyes, pushed down the bitterness in his throat, and spoke softly, his voice a little rough.
He couldn’t be selfish. Asher meant too much to her.
She’d been exhausted lately, and this news was exactly what she needed. She was already this thrilled, and she’d be even happier once Asher really came back.
Jensen had told him things overseas were still messy. Some leftover underground forces from Asher’s takedown were still hiding out.
They got this information from Frank and his son.
It was safer for Asher to stay out of touch with everyone back home for now.
Especially Zora. She was the only person Asher cared about. If anything happened to her, he’d lose his mind.
That’s why Asher endured the pain of missing her and never reached out. He wouldn’t risk Zora’s safety, not even a little bit.
Everyone could see how deeply Asher loved and cherished Zora.
“Okay p>
Zora felt a little upset she couldn’t know where Asher was, but she cheered up right away.
It was fine! He would be home soon.
It was only about a month and a half until Christmas. Time would fly by fast.
But there was one thing she needed to fix before he came back.
Leighton’s insomnia.
Once Asher returned, they couldn’t live together anymore. She had to find a way to cure his insomnia as soon as she could.
She decided she’d ask Hallie about it tomorrow.
“You’re happy?” Leighton asked, even though he already knew the answer.
So happy! I’m super happy p>

Zora’s eyes curved into little crescents, bright and full of pure excitement, like her whole world had lit up.
Leighton watched the joy in her eyes, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.
Before he could say a word, Zora grinned again.
“My mentor is the sweetest and most gorgeous person ever!
“You always wondered who’s better looking, you or him. When he gets back, you two can finally compare p>
Leighton’s eyes brightened a little.
“You want me to meet your mentor?” He caught the important part right away.
She wasn’t going to forget about him just because her mentor was coming home.
Leighton had thought she’d leave him behind once Asher returned, but she still wanted him to meet her mentor.
“Huh? Don’t you wanna meet him? Weren’t you guys looking for him this whole time?
“Also, would you really stop searching just because I said so? You two already know each other, right? I’m pretty sure Jensen’s out looking for him too p>
Zora looked confused.
“Yeah, we know each other.” Leighton smiled faintly.
He wasn’t scared of Asher coming back. He was only scared of losing his spot in Zora’s heart.
The next day…
During the long class break, Zora turned around to Hallie.
“Hallie p>
She rested her chin in her hands and called out quietly.
“What’s up p>
Hallie smiled at her cute look, her eyes crinkling happily.
“I need to ask you something p>
It was their second long break of the day, with plenty of free time. Most students had left the

Easton and Felix had gone downstairs to the coffee shop to get them drinks.
