They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 415: It Almost Felt Like...

Nnenna froze for a second.

Aunty? Uncle? Her mind raced. Wait, are we related?

No. That couldn't be it. It didn’t add up. She quickly reasoned it must be because Somto was close to Arthur's

family.

That kind of closeness could easily lead to calling elders ‘aunt’ and ‘uncle’ out of respect. Still, the label made

her chest tighten a little. She bowed politely. “Good morning,” she said softly.

As she spoke, the man and woman seated at the table were studying her carefully. Their eyes lingered longer

than necessary, especially the woman's. A trace of surprise flickered across both their faces.

Somto had told them she was special, but even with that warning, seeing her in person left a visible impact.

She's really... the woman thought, stunned for a moment before exchanging a glance with her husband. There

was no mistaking it now.

Somto was right.

She was her.

The woman's eyes softened as she stared at Nnenna, a nostalgic warmth flickering in them.

“She looks just like her,” she whispered under her breath before realizing what she had just said aloud. Her lips

clamped shut instantly.

Arthur lifted his head immediately.

Due to his improvements, his hearing was sharper than ordinary people. What did | just hear?! He turned and

stared at his parents. Maybe he could get more information from their reactions.

“Ccloser, dear,” Queen White said quickly, masking the slip with a warm smile.

Nnenna blinked, confused. Her steps faltered slightly, but she moved forward anyway, following Somto’s lead.

She still didn’t understand why the couple, clearly Arthur's parents, were looking at her like that. Like they knew

her... or someone she reminded them of.

Still, she kept her manners in check. Standing with graceful posture, she greeted them formally the way Somto

had taught her.

“Good morning, Aunty, Uncle White.”

The King gave a small nod in response, a kind glint in his eyes. But his wife didn’t even nod back, her gaze had

yet to leave Nnenna. She looked at her as though seeing a memory calive in flesh and blood.

Ava, sitting further down the table, stared in disbelief. That lingering attention, that look, it was the kind she had

never once seen on Queen White's face before. It wasn’t curiosity. It was recognition. Something deep.

Something personal.

She couldn't help the jealousy bubbling inside her. Who is this girl?

And she wasn’t the only one who noticed.

Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly, flicking between his parents and Nnenna. His usual cold gaze sharpened with

confusion. Why are they looking at her like that? His mother’s eyes, his father’s stillness, there was something

off here.

It almost felt like...

They knew her.

But how?

This was clearly the first tthey were seeing her in person, but then, why did their eyes hold such deep

familiarity?

Did Somto show them a picture of her before? No... this felt like more than just a photo. Like something older.

Something buried. Even Nnenna could feel it in the air.

The king and queen were stunned at first, caught off guard by her presence. But after a quick glance from

Somto, one that carried both meaning and warning, they slowly composed themselves.

He was trying to tell them something silently. Not now. Don’t say anything yet.

They got the message. Whatever storm of emotions had passed through them, they pushed it aside, allowing

Nnenna to sit.

“I hope the breakfast is to your liking,” Queen White said with a gentle smile, though her eyes lingered on

Nnenna a little too long.

Nnenna nodded politely. She hadn't even looked at the food properly, her mind was too full of questions. But as

everyone began to eat, her eyes dropped to the table... and froze.

Wait a minute...

There were at least three of her favorite dishes right in front of her. Not common favorites either. These were

little known meals she couldn’t even ask for, let alone find so far from Lionara.

Her gaze drifted to Somto, who was calmly eating like none of this was unusual.

It had to be him... again.

After breakfast, Nnenna thanked the King and Queen politely, then followed Somto out to the castle's garage.

The moment the door opened, her eyes widened.

Rows and rows of exotic, luxurious cars stretched out before her, sleek black sedans, gleaming silver sports cars,

a few military grade armored vehicles, and even limited edition models she had only seen in magazines. Each

one looked like it belonged in a billionaire’s private collection.

But Somto didn’t head toward any of those.

Instead, he stopped beside a simple, low key black car that looked surprisingly ordinary, almost too plain for

someone like him.

Nnenna blinked. This? She didn’t complain, though. It was her first day at the academy, and attracting attention

was the last thing she wanted. Blending in sounded perfect.

But the moment she stepped inside through the front door beside the driver's seat, she realized how wrong she

was.

The car's inside was the complete opposite of its plain exterior. Smooth leather seats that seemed to mold to her

body, scent controlled air circulation, holographic dashboard controls, soft ambient lighting that shifted with

mood, and an Al voice system that greeted her warmly as she sat down.

There was no visible steering wheel, only a sleek console screen and subtle hand motion sensors. The windows

had smart tinting that adjusted based on sunlight, and soft background music played from hidden speakers in

the seats themselves.

It didn’t feel like stepping into a car.

It felt like stepping into a quiet luxury lounge on wheels.

Somto started the engine, and with a soft mechanical hum, the sleek steering wheel slid out from the dashboard.

It looked like he would be driving them himself today, the chauffeur had already been dismissed.

Just as he was about to pull out of the garage, the car door behind him opened with a soft click. He paused,

surprised, and turned slightly to see who it was.
