Chapter 223 He's Jealous
In the large cafeteria, Adeline was eating, and Charles was watching her from the side.
It seemed like he was really just there to bring her food, nothing else mattered.
Even though almost all the girls in the school came over to watch, he just raised an eyebrow, occasionally coughed lightly, maintaining a sickly aloofness, always cold and unapproachable.
Only Adeline was close to him. "Aren't you eating?"
"I have a business dinner later." Charles, unlike the surrounding students, couldn't hide his noble and elegant demeanor. His presence was strong as he replied to a message on his phone in Fleurisienne.
Seeing that he was quite busy, Adeline didn't disturb him while he handled his work.
Considering his digestive issues, Adeline pushed the chicken soup towards him and nodded her chin at it.
Charles, holding his phone, smiled and took a couple of sips from the spoon in her hand.
The action was natural and intimate.
He was still constantly replying to work messages in Fleurisienne, pure and business-like.
Adeline didn't want to disturb him at this moment.
'Forget it. It's just feeding him some soup. It's no big deal.'
Matteo was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. He thought for a moment, then he took a sneaky photo of them together.
He steeled himself and sent it to Nicholas!
Seeing that Adeline was almost done eating, Charles stood up and checked the time. "What time is your exam this afternoon?"
"Soon," Adeline replied, satisfied, with a smile on her lips.
"Come to the pharmacy another day," Adeline said nonchalantly. "I'll treat you."
Charles agreed and then asked in a deep voice, "Are you nervous?"
"What?" Adeline didn't react immediately.
Charles reminded her, "The exam."
Adeline was silent.
If she said she was nervous, would it fit her current persona?
"Not really." Adeline rubbed her neck, looking both beautiful and handsome. "I can perform normally."
Charles smiled elegantly. "No need to feel pressured. With your medical skills, it doesn't matter if you don't do well."
Thanks, but that didn't comfort her at all.
Adeline was smirking self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, he gently embraced her.
It was a very polite hug, sudden and untimely.
Even the pleasant medicinal scent on him was somewhat bewitching.
"Even if it's a fake boyfriend, there should be a title." His voice, deep and pleasant, fell by her ear. "The person from the Taylor Family, you don't seem to avoid him."
The reason Charles noticed this was because Adeline seemed lazy and indifferent to everything.
In reality, she had a strong sense of territory, treating close people specially.
But this special treatment was hidden in the details, hard to notice without careful observation.
Both had the last name Taylor, but she was indifferent to Xavier.
Yet she was very close to Oliver.
Moreover, she had praised Oliver.
Charles's gaze fell back on Oliver's innocent face, his eyes shallow, revealing no emotion.
"He's too childish, not suitable for you."
Charles stood up straight, a stifling feeling in his chest, his voice still carrying a smile, but without much warmth.
"It's understandable if you had poor taste as a child, but you shouldn't have it as an adult."
