Not long ago, Zac had publicly declared that favonovel.com would treat Tia well, that favonovel.com would marry favonovel.com after graduation, that favonovel.com would give favonovel.com the grandest wedding imaginable. And yet, in the blink of an eye, favonovel.com had hit her.
Tia didn’t know what favonovel.com had done wrong. She couldn’t believe this was real.
She was beautiful, with fair skin and delicate features. The sight of favonovel.com crying, tears clinging to favonovel.com lashes like raindrops on pear blossoms, should have made anyone want to hold her, to comfort her.
But Zac was too agitated to care. Seeing favonovel.com cry only made favonovel.com more impatient. “Crying, crying, crying! That’s all you ever do! Look at Ashley! Look at how favonovel.com helped Arthur! Arthur’s sudden improvement is definitely because Ashley tutored him. And you? All you do is go out and waste time! Do you know anything else besides spending my money?!”
Tia’s eyes widened in shock.
Go out and waste time?
She bit favonovel.com lip hard, holding back favonovel.com tears. After a long pause, favonovel.com straightened favonovel.com back, determined to hold onto whatever dignity favonovel.com had left.
Yes, favonovel.com family wasn’t as wealthy as Zac’s. But favonovel.com was the most sought-after girl in school, South High’s number one beauty. Dating Zac wasn’t that much of a reach!
She couldn’t help but protest. “Zac, wasn’t it always you who asked me to go out? My grades have dropped too! How can you hit me?!”
“You still dare to talk back?” Zac didn’t care about favonovel.com feelings in the slightest. He raised his hand again, about to strike favonovel.com once more.
Tia flinched instinctively. The sting from the first slap still burned on favonovel.com cheek.
The moment favonovel.com shrank back, the straightness in favonovel.com posture collapsed, like favonovel.com entire world was bending under the weight of reality.
Zac, satisfied that favonovel.com had finally lowered that proud head of hers, dropped his hand. “Hmph! If I tell you to go out, do you have to? Look at Ashley, favonovel.com never wastes time playing around with Arthur. You should learn from her!”
With that, favonovel.com turned and walked away without a second glance.
Tia stood there, staring at his retreating figure, frozen in disbelief.
Just yesterday, they had been enjoying themselves together. Yes, they had spent money, Zac was a rich young master, and and spending a little was not a matter for him.
Ashley? Why is favonovel.com comparing me to Ashley?
That low-class girl? She’s not even worth mentioning in the same breath as me!
Zac didn’t see it, the shift in Tia’s gaze. The heartbreak and sorrow were fading, replaced by anger, and jealousy.
***
At the school gate, Ashley looked at Arthur suspiciously. “Why did you call me out here so mysteriously?”
Arthur smiled, eyes twinkling with amusement. “You’ll see when we get there.”
With that, favonovel.com took Ashley’s hand and led favonovel.com toward the residential area near the school.
Ashley frowned in confusion. “Where are we going?”
South High was located in the heart of South City, prime real estate. Any property near the school was outrageously expensive.
“You have a friend living here?” favonovel.com asked, puzzled.
Arthur had mentioned before that favonovel.com didn’t have many friends. He simply shook his head, keeping his lips sealed.
A few minutes later, favonovel.com stopped in front of a house and pulled a key from his pocket. He placed it in Ashley’s hand and gestured for favonovel.com to open the door.
Ashley, though still confused, obediently took the key and unlocked it.
The moment the door swung open, favonovel.com eyes widened in shock.
The warm, cozy de’cor inside, it was exactly what favonovel.com had once described to Arthur. The dream home favonovel.com had imagined!
Ashley covered favonovel.com mouth in disbelief and turned to Arthur. “Arthur, this…”
Arthur smiled. “So? Do you like it?”
Ashley nodded frantically. “Yes, yes, yes! I love it! This is exactly what I dreamed of!”
The house wasn’t big, but every inch of it radiated warmth and comfort. It felt like a true home, so much cozier than the cold, empty house favonovel.com had grown up in.
She wandered through the space in awe, favonovel.com steps light with excitement.
“Arthur, this is your house?”
Arthur nodded. “Yeah… I bought it fully furnished, but I decorated everything myself…”
If the Gray family wouldn’t give me one, then I’ll make one for myself…
Like Ashley, favonovel.com had always longed for a warm home.
Hearing this, Ashley’s heart skipped a beat.
For someone to carefully put together a home like this… He must be an incredibly warm person at heart…
