Chapter 651
Donovan had always given Arielle the heebie-jeebies. She could not articulate exactly why he made her feel that way, but she still did not want any contact with him at all.
That was why she had dragged Trisha along with her.
However, in the end, she still had to face Donovan all alone.
Arielle soon arrived at the door of Donovan’s dorm.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock!
Donovan opened the door as soon as he had heard the knock.
The figure standing in the doorway had hair that reached her slender waist.
It was none other than Arielle.
Donovan’s heart began to beat rapidly at the sight of Arielle. However, he tried to act nonchalant and asked in a cold tone, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Baxter, I would like to request your signature here,” Arielle said, handing the application form over to him.
Donovan’s expression darkened when he saw the application form.
“Arielle!” Donovan’s voice was tight with anger that he did not even know he harbored. He lowered his voice and said, “Have you already forgotten what I said to you this afternoon? Do you really want to be a kept woman? Do you really want to be living with another man?”
Arielle’s lips parted in shock and confusion. After a long while, she finally realized that there had been a misunderstanding.
Donovan had wrongly assumed that she was staying with Vinson.
With a frown, Arielle explained, “I live alone. I’m not living with a man, nor am I someone’s mistress! If you call me names again, I’ll report you to the principal and the police!”
Donovan visibly relaxed upon hearing Arielle’s words.
After a short pause, he asked, “Where did you get the money to pay rent from?”
“From my deceased mom,” Arielle replied with a shrug.
Donovan was a little stunned to hear her answer. He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “It was my mistake, and I apologize for that. I’ll come and take a look once you’ve moved. As your homeroom teacher, I should know the living situation of my students who are staying off-campus.”
Arielle looked at Donovan with furrowed brows. What
does he mean by that?
But Donovan’s head was bowed, and he was signing the form. Hence, she did not say anything else to him and merely took the signed form before she headed back downstairs.
“Hold on,” Donovan called out suddenly.
When she turned, Arielle caught Donovan’s eyes staring at her bare neck.
“Your neck…” It needs a necklace.
However, Donovan did not complete his sentence. He shook himself out of his daze, cleared his throat awkwardly again, and said, “Well, go on, then!”
Arielle threw him a confused glance and continued on her way.
Trisha, who had been waiting at the bottom of the stairwell, rushed toward her and asked, “How did it go? Mr. Baxter didn’t make it too difficult for you, did he?”
Arielle shook her head and smiled lightly with no intention to talk about Donovan. “Once I’m all settled in my new place, I’ll invite you and Jared over! I’ll make you two dinner!”
“That sounds great!” Trisha nodded happily
The two ladies chatted as they walked, and soon, they arrived at the university gates,
Outside the gates, a bright blue sports car was parked by the side of the road. All of the students who were passing by could not help staring at it.
Right then, Vinson climbed out and leaned against the car door, waiting with his arms casually crossed.
The crowd of students buzzed with excitement when he emerged from the car.
“Is that Mr. Nightshire? He’s so handsome!”
“Hold on! Why isn’t Mr. Nightshire in a suit today? He’s usually in a suit. Why is he in overalls today?”.
“Well, it looks great on him! He’s so handsome; he can pull off anything! If any of the boys in our class had worn those overalls, they would look like a janitor!”
The first thing Wendy saw when she walked out of the school gates was Vinson dressed in a pair of light blue overalls.
