Chapter 1877 Could This Guy Be My Rival
It wasn’t long before the two of them passed Selena by on the road, and she felt incredibly awkward as she didn’t know what to say to him.
“Uh… Thanks for attending the parent-teacher conference on my behalf today.” Selena thanked Larry softly without even looking at him.
I mustn’t look him in the eyes, or I’ll lose myself in them!
“Oh, no need to thank me. I’m just doing my job,” Larry said with a chuckle.
Selena paused for a brief moment before regaining her composure.
How is this his job when he’s not even Lucius’ dad? She thought to herself while kicking the stones by the roadside.
Growl…
Selena’s stomach growled all of a sudden, and she went bright red with embarrassment on the spot.
D*mn it, why did my stomach have to ruin a perfect moment like that? This is so embarrassing! I wish the ground would just open up and swallow me whole right now!
“Here you go!” Larry handed her a strawberry-flavored lollipop, much to her surprise.
How did he know that I like strawberry-flavored lollipops?
Selena took the lollipop over and began peeling the wrapper off without saying a word. All she wanted was to stuff it into her mouth as quickly as possible and stop her stomach from growling any further.
The two of them then carried on walking side by side in complete silence.
“Selena!” Larry called out and grabbed her by the arm all of a sudden.
Selena turned around slowly and blinked anxiously as she asked, “W-What is it?”
“What do you think?” Larry got straight to the point.
I’m sure she has feelings for me too. She just can’t bring herself to accept my love, that’s all! It’s either that, or she’s holding herself back because of Lucius or Ms. Young.
“W-What… What do you mean by that?” Selena continued to pretend she didn’t understand him.
Larry looked her in the eye and said seriously, “I’m pretty sure you already know this by now, but I’m just going to say it anyway. I like you, Selena.”
The sudden confession hit her like a bolt from the blue, as it was her first time falling for a guy that she had known for less than a month.
“What about you? What do you think about me? Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Larry held her hand tightly.
“I…”
Selena was dying to say yes to him, but her reserved nature caused her to hesitate anyway.
“I am…”
“Selena!” A familiar voice cut her off before she could finish.
“Selena, Mr. Norton, what are you two doing here?” Kevin asked while panting heavily.
“Oh, we just happened to run into each other!” Selena replied.
Larry shifted his gaze between the two of them and wondered why Selena chose to lie. I made it very clear that I came to pick her up! Why would she lie about it?
“Oh, I see… I heard you got hurt, Selena! Are you all right?” Kevin asked while eyeing her from head to toe.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me!” Selena gave herself an awkward pat on the chest.
Larry’s frown deepened as he observed the interaction between the two.
C-Could this guy be my rival?
He was staring at Kevin suspiciously, but Kevin kept his eyes fixated on Selena the whole time and ignored him completely.
“It’s getting late, we should head home now,” Larry spoke up all of a sudden.
“Huh? Oh, right! It really is getting late! We’ll be on our way now, Kevin!” Selena said as she gave him a light pat on the shoulder.
I can’t believe she touched him!
Larry pursed his lips and called out to her from behind, “Hey!”
Selena jumped in shock and turned around to look at him.
“That guy earlier… How are you two related?” Larry asked her cautiously.
Selena hesitated on how she should reply to him. Should I tell him that Kevin used to court me and that I rejected him in the end? Hmm… I guess there’s no need to…
