Chapter 222 I Wish Him Success
Adeline raised an eyebrow without a word.
He made quite a grand entrance.
That face was really eye-catching.
Plus, his actions were way too intimate.
The students in the cafeteria were all staring with wide eyes.
Not to mention Oliver, who was so shocked that his fork almost fell onto the table.
Charles, however, seemed not to notice him at all. He bent slightly, dressed in a suit, and used his fingers to tuck Adeline's long hair to one side. His low chuckle sounded again. "Can you ask your classmate to move? I brought you some food."
"He's not my classmate; he's my friend from the Taylor Family." Adeline put down her spoon, propped her chin with one hand, and looked at him. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Charles's lips curled slightly, and he loosened his collar with one hand, his smile elegant. "I just got off the plane, didn't have time to send a message."
As he spoke, he half-lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling on Oliver. "Can I have my girlfriend back?"
His tone was calm and seemingly polite, but the pressure in his eyes was intense.
Especially from this high angle, his eyes carried a coldness, an untouchable nobility.
Oliver swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably intimidated. "Sure, you guys talk!"
He was too scary!
Adeline raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Oliver was so timid.
Charles seemed quite nice and gentle.
Except for that title.
"In public, don't mention these things," Adeline said softly.
Charles's fingers paused, his voice light. "We'll see."
The other students no longer cared about these details.
"When did Adeline get such a rich boyfriend?"
"No idea, but he's really handsome!"
"Probably just a fling. How could someone from such a background really be interested in Adeline?"
However, just by sitting next to her and opening the lunch boxes one by one, Charles made people both envious and jealous.
"Honestly, if it were someone else, they wouldn't match up. Adeline's face is just too beautiful."
The two of them clearly weren't doing anything, but some students blushed just watching, unable to take their eyes off them.
Matteo, who followed behind, had a face that went through several expressions.
'So, are Charles and Adeline really together? If it's just a contract relationship, Charles is acting way too meticulously. If it's not a contract relationship, why hasn't Charles told Adeline about his identity yet?'
Moreover, if this scene were seen by the socialites of Zelphoria who are all after Charles, it would definitely lead to a fight.
Previously, the circle was harmonious, and no one excluded anyone because Charles didn't give anyone a chance to get close.
Now that he has Adeline, how would she compete with those socialites in the future?
Matteo was worried, more concerned than if he were in a relationship himself.
Oliver sat at the same table with him, holding back but finally couldn't help asking, "Is he your boss?"
Matteo replied, "Yes, you should try to..."
Before he could finish saying "try to persuade Adeline not to be love-struck," Oliver gave a thumbs up. "Daring to pursue Adeline, your boss is really brave. I wish him success!"
Matteo was puzzled.
