WantNovelChapter 764
Uriah's face was a picture of disappointment-frustrated, speechless, not even trying to hide it.
"Fine, I'll just eat by myself!" he grumbled, spinning on his heel and storming off to grab dinner alone.
But in reality, Uriah didn't wander far. He lingered just close enough to keep an eye on the group.
The others were eating together, chatting and laughing.
Mavis, especially, seemed to be having a great ttalking with Norton. The two of them were leaning in,
whispering and sharing inside jokes.
Uriah knew Mavis's personality better than most. He wasn't that much older than her, but he'd been her mentor
since they were kids. He knew she didn't really open up to people easily. With strangers, she barely spoke, and
even with friends, she could be pretty quiet.
But right now? She was anything but quiet. She looked genuinely happy, totally engrossed in her conversation
with Norton.
Uriah felt a twinge of jealousy, so much that he barely even noticed it himself. He just couldn't look away.
Meanwhile, Calliope and the others finished their meal, still chatting. As they stepped outside, they bumped into

Portia grinned. "You guys finished eating already?" She'd seen Calliope's message in the group chat earlier; she
and the others weren't back yet, so they'd told Calliope's group to go ahead without them.
"Yeah, we did. Did you have fun out there?" Calliope asked.
"Definitely," Archie replied with a big smile. "Crispin's a great guy!"
"And Portia's a lifesaver," Julius chimed in. "Seriously, if it weren't for her, I'd still be running from fans."
The memory made Julius shudder. He was always getting recognized, but Portia seemed to have a sixth sense for
spotting trouble and making sure they dodged it every time.
"Glad you all had fun. Go grab sfood, then we can all hang out together later!" Calliope said, waving as she
and Silas headed off down the hall.
By now, Uriah had finished eating and was trailing behind Mavis and Norton Norton was still chatting away, and
Uriah had to admit, the guy was hitting all of Mavis's interests. It was almost impressive.
Uriah's eyes narrowed. This Norton guy was sneaky. He was definitely trying to charm Mavis, and Uriah wasn't
about to let him.
Every now and then, Uriah jumped into the conversation, contradicting whatever Norton said. After the third
interruption, Norton finally turned, exasperated.
"Mr. Stewart, haven't you ever heard of manners?"
"I'm just correcting your mistakes. Someone has to," Uriah replied, arms crossed.
Norton smirked. "Really? Well, Mr. Stewart, don't you think it's a little weird you're following us around like this?"
"Nope," Uriah said flatly.
Mavis glanced back at him, her
