Love Me Back (Amelia and Daniel) novel Chapter 316

“Go on,” Daniel said, sitting up and pulling a notebook from under the coffee table. Despite looking absolutely defeated, his expression was dead serious. “Tell me everything—I’ll write it all down.”

Finley ruffled his own hair in frustration and dropped onto the couch. “Daniel, why are you doing this to yourself?”

Daniel slowly turned to look at him. “Am I pathetic right now?”

“The absolute worst,” Finley replied bluntly.

“Then why can’t I win her back?”

Finley was speechless for a moment before unleashing a string of colorful curses.

“Fine, fine,” Finley groaned, raking his hair into a mess. “If you and your ex are trying to drive me insane together, congratulations—you’ve succeeded.”

Daniel had no interest in his breakdown. “Help me out. I’ll personally oversee your project. If you pull this off, you’ll be able to take the next three years off.”

“Did he only invite you?” she asked.

“No, he invited lots of kids from our class. Everyone’s going!” Ruby beamed.
