It was this sentence.
Harvey looked at Edwin and asked quizzically, “How do you know that she doesn’t like me?”
· The way he asked as if he still wanted her to like him.
Edwin rolled his eyes and handed him the phone.
“3 minutes and 42 seconds in the video, watch it.”
Harvey did not refuse and skipped to the 3 minute and 42 seconds mark, it was the part where Nicole
was speaking to Snow and the others.
He quietly listened to Nicole saying that she was not interested in him, and a dark gloom soon shrouded
his eyes.
Edwin watched him replaying the video again and again like he was possessed, and could not help but
whisper, “Harvey, you alright?”
Harvey did not look up, but his tone was as usual as he smiled.
“Why am I not alright?”
Edwin did not say to speak out, but his heart roared.
‘Bro, you have been rejected, bro! You don’t look like you’re alright at all
Both of them were quiet as Nicole’s cold, determined voice echoed in the room.
As Harvey listened on, the smile on his lips gradually faded away.
The only reason he asked her to be his girlfriend was because he simply felt that grandpa valued her,
and perhaps she would be useful to him, and not out of any sincere intentions.
But yet, why does he feel some slight pangs of discomfort
inside him when he heard her say something like this.
It was almost driving to run before Nicole and yell at her, asking her why.
But he cannot
In the shadows, Harvey’s smile appeared once again.
A moment later, seeing that Harvey had somewhat calmed down, Edwin spoke again, “Harvey, do you
really like Nicole?”
Harvey did not speak, and Edwin thought that that was a tacit acknowledgement, so he said excitedly,
“Woah, I can’t believe that your tastes have finally levelled up.
I’ve long been sick of that fake wench Snow.
Nicole is way better.
Not only she is pretty, but she also has a personality and she is seemingly skilled in martial arts.
She even gave Austin a shoulder throw the first day she came to school, as if Austin’s six feet stature
was like nothing.
When I saw his expression in the video, he was so bewildered…” Harvey listened on quietly as Edwin
praised Nicole and did not interrupt him.
Yet just as Edwin stopped to take a drink, he asked, “You seem to know Nicole well?” Edwin immediately
paused and shook his head. How could he? They haven’t even met before. “Then why are you speaking
up for her like that?” Edwin was taken aback.
He after all could not say that he had a favor to ask of her, so he could only sheepishly say, “I always felt
that she is a pretty nice person.
At the very least the light in her eyes is real.” When Harvey heard that he was stunned. Indeed, there
was a bright light in Nicole’s eyes no matter when she looked at someone in the eyes. It was the light of
her soul, her attitude towards life. Harvey looked at Edwin, and the latter too was looking at him,
seemingly with some musings in his eyes. “Harvey, I seem to understand why Nicole doesn’t like you
now.” Harvey did not respond but instead silently put on his coat as he got up to go out.
Edwin did not stop him.
As he looked at Harvey’s back, he whispered, “Harvey, Snow is spreading news about the two of you
being a couple.
Are you really not going to stop her?” Harvey turned around, his face hidden in the shadows, making his
expression hard to discern. “Why should I stop her?” When Edwin heard Harvey’s voice, it was still that
gentle and polite tone. “But she’ll use your name to hurt Nicole, no?” He looked at Harvey, believing that
the latter could read between the lines. Harvey did understand as he turned his head around, and his
tone turned chilly. “Do not interfere, Edwin Bradford.” As he said that, he closed the door and left. Edwin
looked at the closed door somewhat speechlessly.
Oh, how he wished his friend there could do better.
‘What was so great about Snow anyway? She’s not as pretty as Nicole, and she’s also a schemer to
boot,’ He thought.
Harvey could do nothing but pick up his back and got ready to head out.
Nicole had no idea that there was someone in the Royal Creek Institute that could still through Snow’s
true face.
At this moment, she was on her way to the cafe. It seemed like her earlier warning somewhat worked as
not many dared to look at her directly along the way, and naturally there were much less whispers as
well. Nicole was carefreely playing her phone, and while she may look like she was taking a stroll, she
very quickly reached the door of the cafe. Jared was leaning lazily against the window, and seeing that
she came here alone today, his mood was good.
His low-lying eyebrows raised slightly as he gave her a wicked smile. He looked like a trace of spring
snow upon a distant mountain, and when he smiled it was extremely beautiful, a kind of stunning beauty
that was eluded words. A few girls behind Nicole instantly screamed. “Ahhhh! He’s looking at me, and
he’s smiling at me too!” “Screw you! He was smiling at me!” The few of them walked over with flushed
face as if they were drunk.
Even when a distance away Nicole could still hear them discussing, saying things like if only the man
was from their school, then Harvey will be dirt. Nicole almost wanted to snigger, and after that, her mood
was somehow much better. Jared saw her push the door open, and her mood seemed better than
earlier, so he could not help but to raise his eyebrow.
“You’re unhappy today?” Nicole shook her head.
“No.” She placed her bag down and sat across Jared. Many recognized Nicole and seeing the two
seating together, many whispers soon started around them.
Many girls took a glance at Jared and one girl who could no longer bear it suddenly stood up and said to
Jared, “Hey, handsome, don’t be fooled by Nicole, she’s not a good person!”
