Chapter 262
Today was another one of Charlie’s classes. With a face glowing with confidence, he strode up to the podium.
He had come prepared, certain he could attract Yvette’s attention to his lecture!
But Yvette merely lifted her eyes to glance at him once. Then she laid her head down on the desk to sleep.
Charlie’s fragile, tender heart shattered instantly. Was his lecture that unengaging? Why did Yvette always fall asleep in his class?
Yvette was completely unaware of Charlie’s thoughts. She had spent the previous day administering two acupuncture treatments to Yara. The sessions drained most of her energy. She needed a good amount of
rest to recover.
When Yvette woke up, the class had already ended. She stretched lazily, only to meet Charlie’s resentful gaze. She wondered what was wrong with him.
“Liam is here again…”
Suddenly, the classroom was abuzz with chatter.
“Of course, he’s here for Yvie again! I heard Ashton and Sean already warned him, but he still dares to come looking for Yvie. He’s so romantic, I can’t handle it! I’m going to cry.”
“Yes, exactly. Every day, he comes from Vista University to Jubilife University. I heard the chancellor of Vista University is terrified. He’s worried that Liam might transfer to Jubilife University for Yvie’s sake!”
Yvette’s indifferent gaze swept across the room. The chatter ceased immediately as everyone behaved
well.
As Yvette walked out of the classroom, Liam approached her with a faint smile on his face. Once again, he made everyone swoon.
“Oh my gosh, look at that… Liam’s eyes light up as soon as he sees Yvie. I ship them so hard!”
With a hint of resignation, Yvette said coldly, “From now on, wait for me at the lab.”
“Alright.” Liam’s eyes dimmed slightly. He only wanted to see her a bit earlier every day, which was why he waited outside her classroom.
Yvette didn’t linger, striding toward the lab. Liam obediently followed. Seeing the fatigue on her face, he couldn’t help but say, “You look very tired today. Why don’t we go to the lab tomorrow instead?”
Yvette pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
She still had to go to the hospital later to check on Martha. Her energy was indeed running low.
“Watch out!”
In that moment of distraction, a car sped past her from the side of the road. Liam quickly pulled her into his arms.
From a distance, they appeared like an intimate couple, embracing. The man in the car a few feet away took it all–in.
Can he drive away now?
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Samuel shivered, sensing the chilling air radiating from the man.
“Mr. Quinn, I’m sure there’s been some mistake. There’s no way Ms. Yvette would be interested in a kid
like Liam! He’s just a young, good–looking guy who’s around her age. That’s all he is, nothing but a pretty boy. I’m sure Ms. Yvette prefers someone like you–mature, dependable, and older…”
Older?
Samuel’s words hit a sore spot, and Wilson’s anger was palpable.
Wilson’s eyes narrowed, his face growing grim. A cold fury radiated from him. “Wakara is short–staffed. You can start work there as soon as you can.”
Samuel was on the verge of tears.
