Willow Grant looked up and saw Sumr Monroe entering the library, her heart skipped a beat.
She couldn’t let Aaron see Sumr!
Willow quickly sidestepped to block Aaron’s gaze toward the library, chuckled nervously, and said, "Actually, there’s not much to see in the library. Let take you to the school history museum first."
Aaron asked suspiciously, "Didn’t you just say that your library is the biggest and most luxurious among Cathaysia’s colleges? Why aren’t we going in now?"
"That’s because..." Willow hurriedly explained, "I suddenly feel that a library, no matter how big or luxurious, is pretty much the sa."
"True."
Willow had just breathed a sigh of relief when Aaron added, "But since we’re here, let’s go in and have a look."
Willow’s heart tightened, she quickly tried to stop him, but Aaron was already walking toward the library.
Willow had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow along.
She couldn’t make it too obvious, or else Aaron might beco suspicious.
Following Aaron’s steps, Willow heard Aaron shake his head in disappointnt, saying, "I thought it would be more luxurious, but it’s just so-so. Where I’m from, any library is better than this."
Willow was rapidly searching for Sumr’s figure to block Aaron’s view if needed.
Hearing Aaron’s comnt, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Aaron, where exactly are you from? Our school’s library once beca a hot topic online for being large and luxurious."
Aaron narrowed his eyes and smiled dangerously, "Grant, I hope this is the last ti you ask that question."
Willow’s heart jolted, clearly seeing the danger warning in Aaron’s eyes.
That kind of look was like a sharp blade pressed against her chest, ready to pierce her at any mont.
Willow had only seen this look on Damian Knight, it was an extre danger.
She was instantly scared, cold sweat breaking out on her back, unable to say a complete sentence.
Willow clearly felt that Aaron had so untouchable secret, yet this mysteriousness made her have a favorable impression of him.
If a man is mysterious enough, it surely ans he is incredibly powerful.
She liked powerful n.
If Damian Knight had only his handso face, without the backing of The Knight Corporation, and lacked that astonishing presence, perhaps she wouldn’t have been so attracted to him, insisting on marrying him.
Willow’s heart wavered, gradually leaning towards Aaron.
Aaron quickly averted his gaze, once again scanning the first floor of the library.
Willow instantly grew tense, anxiously searching for Sumr’s figure.
Seeing that Sumr wasn’t on the first floor, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Aaron, "Since you don’t find it luxurious here, let’s go to the school history museum? The upstairs decoration is similar to the first floor."
"Okay." Aaron lost interest in the library and walked out.
Willow quickly followed.
She glanced around and said, "Aaron, did you co to our school for Sumr Monroe?"
Regarding this question, Aaron made no effort to hide, candidly admitting, "That’s right."
Willow asked hesitantly, "Do you... like her?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow, "You could say that."
Willow’s fists clenched involuntarily.
She said sarcastically, "That’s odd..."
"What’s odd?"
"Sumr isn’t very popular at school."
Aaron asked curiously, "Why?"
Willow sighed and said, "Because her academic performance is poor, she always skips class, and... often talks back to teachers. There was an incident before where she was involved in a group fight, and one of the students ended up in jail because of it. She’s seen as a troubled girl."
