Chapter 1480
As Kimberly looked at the workbook with neat handwriting and perfectly written answers on every page, she was so mad that she nearly tore the book apart. What the f*ck! She’s merely a girl with an ordinary background! Does she think that she will be able to enter a university with good grades? No matter how well her results are, a commoner’s daughter will always be a commoner’s daughter! There are things that you will never be able to attain if you did not have it when you were born!
In the afternoon, Carmen went to the guard house to have her lunch again. The weather today was nice since it was shining. The entire school felt warm and there were people playing soccer in the field.
Three men rode on their sports bicycle and stopped at the guard house. One of them got off the bicycle, removed his helmet, and entered the guard house while carrying a bag.
The man was in his twenties. With a buzz cut and tanned complexion, he had a masculine beauty that made him seem different from any other ordinary man. His handsome features were outstanding and it made him stand out among the students.
“Nate, what are we having for lunch today?” She delightfully went up to greet him. She would have lunch in school every day—she would bring the meal from home sometimes while her family would send someone to bring it over to her at other times. Her dinner was also taken in school as they would deliver it to her.
The person who delivered her food was Nathan today.
He seldom came since he had a company to manage. Ever since Michael went into cryosleep, he started to mature at a fast pace and finally entered the Asco International to take over Michael’s position at the management level.
Although he seemed cool and cold on the surface, the corner of his lips would involuntarily reveal his brotherly love toward Carmen whenever he saw her. “They are all your favorite.”
Upon seeing Theo, he made sure that there was nobody around them before he greeted, “Grandpa.”
Theo asked, “Hey, why are you here today?”
Nathan answered, “I’m here for a game with friends.”
Theo cast a glance at the three of them. Since Nathan had brought them along, they were probably close friends with each other. As a result, Theo secretly allowed them to come in.
Carmen, who was eating in the guard house, seemed to have felt something. She looked out of the window and saw a man in black sportswear while wearing a black helmet riding a sport bicycle into the school. I think that I might have seen something earlier… Or, perhaps I’m wrong.
After speedily finishing her lunch, she returned to the classroom to continue observing the stock market as they had 1 hour 30 minutes of rest time in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the classroom and sat on her seat, she heard the girl beside her discussing something in excitement, so she approached them to listen.
“There are a few super handsome men playing basketball in the basketball field!”
“Really? How handsome are they?”
“Look here—someone posted their photos in our class chat group.”
“Wow! They are handsome! Let’s go check it out!”
More than half of the girls in the class left in a short while. Carmen clucked her tongue and took out her phone, but for some unknown reason, she tapped open her Messenger and looked at her recently accepted friend’s profile picture in a daze. Should I take the initiative to say hi? It’s not nice to just leave him at one side, right?
Soon, only a few students were left in the classroom as most of them had probably headed out to see the handsome men. Of course, Kimberly and Flynn were still in the classroom. The two of them were intimately talking to each other, as if they were trying to irritate Carmen on purpose, but she ignored them.
For some reason, Flynn felt flustered. He found it disgusting when Carmen cared about him, but he felt empty in his heart when she ignored him. He even had a French kiss with Kimberly to secretly see Carmen’s reaction. However, Carmen was still unfazed.
Suddenly, someone clumsily barged into the classroom and headed straight for Carmen—it was Poppy, the delinquent student from Lamda class. “Carmen, why are you still here? There are handsome men playing basketball at the basketball court! Let’s go and check it out! Maybe you will find your new love!”
She tried to drag Carmen out of the classroom, but the latter felt annoyed. “I’m not going. You can go ahead to have a look.”
Poppy, who refused to listen to her, dragged her away from her seat and headed outside. Carmen, who was being dragged away, had no choice but to follow her.
When they passed by Kimberly, Poppy suddenly came to a halt and her warm expression instantly became cold and distant as she viciously muttered to Kimberly, “Hey, Stafford, listen here. I heard that you are finding fault with my bestie? I’m warning you—this school is under my watch, so if you dare to seek trouble with her again, I will see to it that you won’t get away unscathed!”
Kimberly coldly looked at Poppy without replying.
It appeared that the well-informed Poppy had learned something, so she came to warn Kimberly.
Then, both Carmen and Poppy left in a hurry. Once they were gone, Flynn finally felt that something was fishy. “Are they even more handsome than me?”
Therefore, he brought along a basketball and left to see who the guys were and Kimberly naturally followed along.
There was a heated match at the basketball court. Groups after groups of girls came over to watch the match. Initially, only the students in junior and sophomore year came, but now even the senior year students were there.
After squeezing through the human walls that were formed by the chatty girls, Carmen saw Maisie and Audrey. Maisie was the child adopted by Sean and Stanley, and Audrey, whose last name was Fletcher, was Hale’s adopted daughter. Hale was actually from one of the Fletchers’ branch families, but he had lost his parents at a young age. Therefore, he had been working for Michael for a long time and that name was only his nickname at work.
“What took you guys so long? Nate has been here for a long time,” Maisie uttered as she made space for them.
Carmen looked toward the court and saw Nathan’s active figure on it. He was playing with a group of younger boys. His handsome, dazzling looks had enchanted countless young girls and each time he scored a goal, the young girls would cheer for him.
“Go, Nate! You are the best!”
“Cas, go for it!”
Upon hearing Maisie’s cheers, Carmen curiously looked toward the court. “Casper is back as well?”
There was an eye-catching young boy with chiseled features and black hair among the crowd.
Maisie replied, “Cas has returned for quite some time. Of course, a senior year student like you, who is always busy preparing for exams, would not know.”
She stood on her toes, trying hard to see Casper. He managed to shoot a perfect 3-pointer with his agile movements. His newly-built muscles were tempting for the eyes while his focused eyes and athletic movements were a little similar to that of when he was young. His looks were so exquisite that it resembled a black-haired fairy.
As Casper had spent most of his time studying abroad, they seldom met each other even during festivals. It was unexpected to them that he actually grew into such a fine-looking man.
“Cas!” Upon seeing her childhood friend, Carmen vigorously waved her hand at him. Casper saw her and waved back at her.
It’s really Casper! The two of them had not met for many years. She jumped and waved at him; on top of that, she even cheered for him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
While her attention was focused on Casper and Nathan, who were both playing basketball, she failed to notice that there was an intent gaze on her from amidst the crowd.
Flynn had started looking for Carmen among the crowd the moment he had arrived. When he saw her passionately cheering for another guy, he was absolutely pissed. An incredibly handsome man? Is he more handsome than me?
He pushed his hair backward in a self-proclaimed cool manner before barging into the game to immediately snatch the ball that Casper had just gotten.
The most handsome student in our school has joined the game! There are too many handsome guys here today! The girls screamed—nobody knew whether they screamed for Flynn, for the tanned Nathan, or for Casper.
Flynn seemed to be targeting Casper. Whenever Casper had the ball, Flynn would snatch it from him. The girls nearly went insane when they saw the two handsome men in a fight.
“Go, Cas! Go!” Carmen continued to cheer for Casper.
The man in green eyes, who was currently standing behind her, watched as she passionately cheered for another man.
Desolate then filled his eyes. Why didn’t she notice me?
