"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Black." Just as Sophia wanted to take Xan away from the cafeteria, they t Zachary, who just ca from a basketball ga.
Zachary, Ashton, and Timothy were best friends, but Ashton had only introduced Zachary to Sophia and Dexter. The reason was evident not only did Timothy resemble Damien, but they were even relatives.
"Are you going ho, Xan?" Zachary looked at Xan, confused. "Don’t you still have classes in the afternoon?"
Her eyes were red as she sniffled and said, "My mom... is bringing ho."
Bewildered, Zachary glanced over to Timothy, who was nearby. "Did sothing happen?"
"Xan isn’t feeling well, so I’m bringing her back," Sophia explained.
Zachary imdiately nodded and said, "Alright, Mrs. Black."
As Sophia dragged Xan out, Xan couldn’t help but turn around to look at Timothy.
Sophia felt that everything was falling apart. Getting involved with a jerk was worse than being discovered by the laboratory’s people.
One of Xan’s two major crises had hit hard.
"That’s weird." Timothy walked over to Zachary, looking perplexed. "Ashton’s parents don’t seem to like ."
Zachary eyed him and said, "Perhaps it’s because you look like a bad guy."
Timothy glanced at him and said in a deadpan voice, "Yeah, right. As if you look anything like a good guy here." "Well, Ashton did say that I look more like a good guy than you. That’s why I’m the one he introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Black," Zachary replied smugly.
Timothy got upset. Ashton used to always invite Zachary over to his house, yet he never extended that invitation to him, and that made Timothy feel jealous.
Huffing slightly, he took out his phone and sent Ashton a text, "Your parents ca to the university and brought Xan back. Why do Mr. and Mrs. Black seem to dislike so much?"
Ashton instantly replied by sending him an ID photo of Damien.
Timothy: "Why did you send a photo of my uncle?"
Ashton: "You both look alike, right?"
Timothy: "Yes. Even my mom said I resemble Uncle Damien a lot."
Ashton: "Damien cheated on my mom when he was younger."
Timothy was speechless. He only felt chills running through his back at that mont.
He imdiately replied, "Thanks for saving my life."
Timothy thanked Ashton for not inviting him over to his house. It turned out that Ashton had actually been protecting him.
Ashton replied, "It’s all good. Just take care of my parents and sister on my behalf while I’m away."
Timothy shot a mortified look at Zachary. "No wonder I felt the chills when I saw Mrs. Black."
Zachary nudged him and said, "Speaking of which, Xan seems really attached to you. She likes to stay close to you now that Ashton’s gone. She wouldn’t even co to play basketball with ."
Timothy rolled his eyes at him. "Xan’s pretty innocent and simple-minded, so don’t read too much into it."
Zachary narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you like Xan?"
Timothy’s ears turn red. "Don’t talk nonsense! Mrs. Black might break my legs if she catches wind of this. My dad told that my uncle fears Mrs. Black the most. He even said that she can take down a hungry wolf with her bare hands."
Zachary swallowed nervously before pulling Timothy away.
"Timothy!" A beautiful young woman ca running over at that mont. "I like you. Do you want to date ?"
The young woman then handed a love letter to Timothy.
"Damn, you’re in luck, my bro. That’s the campus belle!" Zachary said.
The beautiful young woman was Kiara Wembley, the campus belle of Huma University. She had stunning looks, a perfect figure, and ca from a respectable family. She seed to have it all.
Everyone thought that Kiara and Timothy would make a perfect match as they ca from similar backgrounds.
Timothy had Coleman Group backing him, allowing him to have an elevated status in Huma. anwhile, Kiara’s family was also rather successful in the business industry.
A princess and a prince like them would naturally make a perfect match.
Kiara had never explicitly confessed to Timothy before this. She had finally mustered her courage to do so today.
She held onto her love letter, nervously waiting for him to accept it. There was already a crowd of onlookers gathering around as they waited for his reply.
Kiara anxiously glanced at Timothy. She was worried that he might embarrass her in front of everyone.
"Hurry and accept it, Timothy! Don’t put Kiara in a tight spot when everyone’s looking!" her best friends quickly chid in.
The crowd started to join in.
Having been dragged out by Sophia, Xan only realized that she did not have her tote bag with her when they were at the cafeteria exit. She then pulled away from Sophia and Dexter and ran back on her own.
In reality, she also wanted to apologize to Timothy over Sophia’s comnt on how he looked like a jerk. But as soon as she reached the entrance, she saw him being surrounded by a crowd as Kiara confessed to him.
Xan nervously clenched her fingers as she carefully spied on Timothy. She wanted to know if he also liked Kiara back
Everyone on the campus was saying that Timothy and Kiara made a perfect match. Even Xan would agree with them.
But she still hoped that they wouldn’t end up together. Otherwise, he would no longer have ti for Xan if he were to date Kiara.
After all, it wouldn’t be appropriate for the three of them to keep having als together. Xan did not want to eat with Kiara either.
"I’m sorry, I can’t accept your love letter. I’ve also told you that I’m not interested in you, nor am I looking to start a relationship," Timothy rejected her outright. He did not want to play any gas or give her false hope.
Kiara quickly teared up and pitifully replied, "You... You can accept my love letter for now, Timothy. You don’t have to give an answer right away,"
At the very least, he could have told her this in private, saving her from embarrassing herself in front of everyone else.
Timothy frowned. "I’m sorry, but I don’t want to."
"You’re being too much, Timothy! Kiara finally mustered her courage to confess to you. How could you treat her like this in front of everyone? She’s still a young woman with her own pride and dignity!" Kiara’s friends started criticizing him.
The rubberneckers were also pointing fingers at him while Kiara cried in her friends’ arms.
Timothy replied, "She’s the one who chose to hand her love letter to in front of everyone else, so I have the
right to reject her publicly. If she truly cared for her pride and dignity, she should’ve told in private. That way, I could’ve rejected her away from prying eyes."
Kiara was taken aback after hearing Timothy’s reply. He wasn’t showing any consideration for her feelings at all. "Our families have been close for generations, Timothy. Our fathers are also friends, and even our families approve of us. Do you... have soone you like already? Is it that young woman nad Xandra Milford?" Soone asked, "Huh? That dimwit? Isn’t she sick or sothing? Her behavior is so strange."
Another replied, "That’s right! Her long hair is always covering her face. Has anyone seen her face before? She’s just like a ghost! Besides, she’s always dressed plainly. I heard her family’s quite poor."
Soone else agreed, "They wouldn’t be a great match."
Everyone was talking about Xan. She nervously hid behind the door and lowered her head, covering her face with her hair.
"She’s there!" Kiara’s friends spotted xan and pointed at her.
The crowd flocked over and stared at her. "Is that her? That’s impossible. How could she be Timothy’s type?" "She’s just a dimwit no matter how you look at her. Who would even pay attention to her if she weren’t Ashton’s sister?"
