William genuinely did not know that seeing such a notification on WhatsApp meant that he had been removed by the other person. Looking at the message on WhatsApp, he turned his head and asked Alice, "What does it mean on WhatsApp when it says, 'you are not friends with her yet, please send a friend verification request first'?"
Alice froze for half a second before bursting into laughter, "You got deleted from someone's friend list?"
A smile tugged at the corner of William's mouth as he realized that friends added on WhatsApp could indeed be deleted.
But it was rather obvious; this wholly negated any possibility of him and Lucy being together.
After all, Lucy was just interested in him; there wasn't any deep emotional foundation between them. It would be strange if she didn't delete him after what he said directly earlier.
Sitting across from them, Evelyn was also stunned when she heard William's question.
