Chapter 427 More Concerned About Who You Have Fallen For
"I'll get you there in three minutes; or it will take you more than twenty minutes," Jeffery said to Chloe.
Chloe frowned tightly, feeling a bit angry but helpless.
"Fine, let's go!" Chloe finally relented.
Chloe sat in the back seat, looking at the lush foliage of the university campus, smelling the scholarly atmosphere and the pleasant scent of Jeffery from the front. Suddenly, she found herself transported back to Maple Valley University, seated in the rear of Andrew's car. The passage of time felt swift, and Andrew had already departed.
Sure enough, they reached the school auditorium in less than three minutes.
At the entrance, Chloe quickly jumped off the bike, just in time for her speech.
As Chloe walked onto the stage, she noticed the students whispering below.
At first, she didn't understand, but then it hit her—they were all looking at Jeffery. After all, Jeffery had once painted a picture.
Chloe glanced in Jeffery's direction; she knew where he was sitting since they had come together.
Unexpectedly, her glance made the students' commotion even louder.
A small stir arose in the audience.
Chloe's face couldn't help but turn a bit red.
Jeffery's pursuit of Chloe was well-known because of the painting, both due to the painting and Chloe's formal complaint lodged with the school board.. Almost all the school leaders knew about it. Although Larry had reprimanded Jeffery, the leaders were quite interested in the story behind the scenes. After all, Chloe was five years older than Jeffery and was his teacher!
At this moment, the school leaders didn't care about this matter.
Chloe understood campus romance well. What started as nothing could become something real due to student gossip. She was aware that as time passed, more individuals like Cynthia would emerge, and the spotlight would be on both her and Jeffery. Eventually, she might have to give in. If she didn't date Jeffery, it would be a disservice to the students' "good intentions."
But Chloe managed to calm herself down and completed her speech smoothly.
She thought Jeffery might do something after the event, but he didn't. As soon as the event ended, Jeffery left.
During the meeting, Jeffery messaged Donovan on WhatsApp. Donovan said that only Charles had returned to Maple Valley, and he and Francis were still here.
"Has Francis fallen in love with Pearl Peak City?" Jeffery asked.
"He's got a bit of a cold," Donovan replied.
"I bought him a little gift. I'll give it to him later."
"Okay."
Upon Jeffery's arrival at Kenneth's house, he found Francis indeed wasn't as lively as before.
"Francis, I got you a gift. Do you like it?" Jeffery handed Francis a small cat toy, which was even cuter in its smaller size.
Although Francis wasn't feeling well, he still thanked Jeffery.
"Mr. Blake, why don't you stay in Pearl Peak City? It's such a great place to live, and Francis likes it here. Let my mom take care of Francis. Plus, our university's basketball league is starting in a few days. Francis can come and watch, and I'll get you tickets. These tickets are priceless," Jeffery persuaded Donovan.
"Really, Jeffery?" Francis's eyes lit up; he was quite interested in basketball.
"We'll see. Why? Are you in a good mood today?" Donovan noticed Jeffery's good spirits and asked.
Donovan knew very well that occupied a young person's mind, recognizing that love held the utmost significance. His cheerful demeanor was likely attributed to matters of the heart.
"Not bad," Jeffery said, unable to hide his smile.
"Tell me about it," Donovan said, sitting on the couch reading a book.
"You actually care about this." Jeffery's smile grew even wider.
"I'm more concerned about who you've fallen for."
Jeffery didn't say anything. He was afraid that if he told Donovan, Donovan would tell Maya. Even though Maya was open-minded, she was still an older person. Knowing that he liked his teacher, who was five years older, she would definitely oppose it.
He decided to wait a bit longer.
"Just someone from campus," Jeffery said.
At this moment, Francis looked pitifully at Donovan and said, "Dad, can we please go watch Jeffery's basketball game?"
"We'll go if we have time," Donovan said, patting Francis's head.
