Chapter 433 Falling for a Woman Five Years Older
Two days later. At the Pearl Peak City University.
Today, there were two major events at the school: first, the final and most intense match of the citywide college basketball tournament—Pearl Peak City University versus the University of Technology; second, the filming of the idol drama "Teacher, Wait for Me" would take place at Pearl Peak City University. The campus was exceptionally picturesque, serving as a frequent choice for TV dramas seeking beautiful filming locations.
The students were not as interested in the filming as they were in the basketball game, as it concerned the school's honor and was the ultimate showdown between them and the University of Technology.
Since Jeffery mentioned the basketball game to Francis last time, Francis had been clamoring to go.
He was a kid and loved excitement.
This also put Donovan's plan to return to Maple Valley on hold. He let the vice president handle things there and asked Charles to consult with Mario if anything came up.
Donovan planned to sign the contract with the Stellar Corp before leaving.
He messaged Jeffery: [Do you still have tickets for the basketball game? Francis is clamoring to go.]
Jeffery replied: [Mr. Blake, I'll make an exception for you. It's a hard job, being a dad.]
[When you have kids, you'll understand.]
Jeffery replied again: [It's good that you're coming. I've decided to confess to the person I like during the game. My mentor told me that she doesn't actually dislike me that much.]
[Okay.]
[Should I bring the tickets to you later? Do you want the front row or the back row?]
Considering he was bringing Francis, Donovan replied: [The latter.]
The back row wouldn't attract as much attention.
However, just as Jeffery was about to deliver the tickets to Donovan, his teammates called him for the final practice match.
Pearl Peak City University and the University of Technology were evenly matched. In this practice, teammates from their own school imitated the weaknesses of the University of Technology, and Pearl Peak City University targeted those weaknesses.
As the captain, Jeffery naturally had to go.
He sent another WhatsApp message to Donovan: [Mr. Blake, my teammates called me for the final targeted practice. The tickets are in my dorm room. Can you come get them yourself?]
Donovan wasn't really interested in the basketball game; it was just that Francis wanted to go.
"Francis, Jeffery can't bring us the tickets. We have to go to his dorm to get them. Do you still want to go?" Donovan hoped Francis would say no.
"Sure, Dad. Let's go!" Francis pushed Donovan.
Donovan rubbed his forehead and could only reply to Jeffery on WhatsApp: [Okay.]
Jeffery then placed the basketball tickets on his desk, but he noticed the portraits of Chloe hanging above his desk and bed.
He was afraid Donovan would quickly find out who Chloe was, and then Maya would know he had fallen for a woman five years older than him and get angry. So, Jeffery put away all the portraits of Chloe.
He also instructed his roommate, Patrick, to wait in the dorm for someone he highly respected to come and pick up the tickets.
"And don't mention a word about Chloe!" Jeffery told Patrick.
"Not mention it? The whole school knows, and you want me to keep quiet?"
"It's none of your business; just don't bring it up," Jeffery said.
"Fine, I'll just play my game and be a mute, okay?" Patrick put on his headphones and continued playing his game.
Only then did Jeffery feel at ease to go to practice.
He thought Donovan was smart. Donovan was different from Maya. Donovan might be able to accept it, but Maya might not. However, the premise was that Jeffery would gradually let Donovan know about his "falling for a woman five years older" rather than letting him find out suddenly.
