A few months had passed since the tea invitation and they had definitely gotten closer. Close enough to where they were possibly best friends, or at least she considered him one. Seeing as she had no visual bar to see his feelings for her, she didn't know if he held any romantic affection towards her. However, he did treat her very well and regarded her well as well, so at least she made some progress.
During these couple of months, not only had she befriended Dominic, but she had also gotten somewhat closer to Augustine. She found it funny that they had rarely seen each other in the past seven years but it only took them a few months to get along—or at least get along as much as she could get along with him who hated her for 'replacing' his sister. She never really understood why he thought she was trying to be his sister—whom she's never met—but Xiao Yunhua took it as his way of grievance.
