Aurelia couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she heard the voice. It was Evelyn again! “It’s none of your business!”
She was still wondering why Callum didn’t tell her before he came to school.
But…
Aurelia rolled her eyes and glanced at the female classmates who were excited to see Callum. Evelyn’s eyes were red with excitement. No wonder Aurelia kept looking over there. It turned out to be Callum! She saw Callum again!
The picture of Callum and Elliot standing together formed a beautiful landscape, and more and more people looked over there.
Aurelia patted Evelyn’s shoulder thoughtfully. Evelyn had not yet recovered from her excitement and asked Aurelia confusedly, “What are you doing?”
Surprisingly, Aurelia didn’t show any impatience with Evelyn. She pointed at Callum, who was not far away. “See? Callum!”
Evelyn glared at her quietly. “I don’t need you to tell me that!”
Aurelia ignored her bad attitude and raised her voice. “Evelyn, how about we make a bet?”
“Why should I bet with you?” Evelyn wanted to say that she was inexplicable, but she had to pay attention to her image, so she took back the last sentence.
“Don’t you always want to see me make a fool of myself? Last time you framed me to make a fool of myself at the Callum company’s press conference, and now that he is right in front of us, you’re not really going to miss your chance to embarrass me, are you?”
Evelyn leaned close to her ear and smiled gently and harmlessly, but the words that came out of her mouth were not gentle at all. “Of course I don’t want to let that opportunity slip.”
Aurelia distanced herself from her and looked at the female classmates around Evelyn who were of the same ilk as her. “How about this? I come up to Callum this time and confess to him in person, saying that I like him very much. And if he doesn’t turn me down, Evelyn, you will apologize to me loudly ten times!”
Aurelia’s words made several female classmates open their mouths in shock. Cathy, who was standing next to Aurelia, was confused at first, but she was almost scared to death when she heard her say that. Then she took Aurelia’s arm and said anxiously, “Aurelia, don’t do that. Have you forgotten what Mr. Finnegan did to you last time? Don’t be impulsive.”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry, Cathy. He won’t do anything to me. After all, so many classmates are watching us!” Aurelia said the last sentence, raising her voice.
Evelyn thought about it. Yes, so many classmates were watching. The whole Evercrest knew about Callum’s temper. As far as she knew, Aurelia was thrown into the sea by Callum before! If Aurelia was rejected by Callum in person or thrown out of school directly, Aurelia would be so embarrassed.
Evelyn wasn’t stupid, and she felt something was wrong. “Mr. Finnegan isn’t far from us, but he’s not close either. Who knows what you’ll say?”
“This is easy. I’m facing you. In order to prevent me from cheating, I’ll at least let you see my lip movements clearly.” Aurelia finally found an opportunity to play a trick on Evelyn and let her avenge herself for the last time.
Evelyn didn’t agree though, several female classmates around her couldn’t wait to poke Evelyn to agree. “Evelyn, that’s Mr. Finnegan. If Aurelia goes there and confesses her feelings, she’s just asking for death. What are you still hesitating about? Don’t you want to see Aurelia being killed by Mr. Finnegan?”
Aurelia gasped inwardly. These female classmates were so cruel, and actually wanted her to be killed by Callum!
“But…” Evelyn was still hesitant because she thought of the relationship between Aurelia and Callum in the mall.
Aurelia knew that Evelyn was not so easy to fool, and she immediately pushed things further. She whispered to Cathy, “I hope Mr. Finnegan has forgotten what he said last time. If I provoke him again, he will bury me alive…”
Her voice was so low that only Evelyn could hear it.
Cathy pulled Aurelia aside in a panic before saying, “Sheridan Buddy, don’t be so reckless! How dare you make this bet with Evelyn?”
As the two of them were muttering, Evelyn finally nodded and agreed, “You should go quickly. Otherwise, Mr. Finnegan will leave soon.”
Aurelia’s voice suddenly stopped, and she looked at Evelyn in disbelief, “Ah? You agreed? Evelyn, I’m just joking!”
Seeing how frightened Aurelia was, some of the female classmates next to her said triumphantly, “Aurelia, go quickly. Our Evelyn agreed.”
“That’s right, don’t go back on your word, Aurelia, we are all waiting!”
Aurelia took a deep breath and walked towards Callum amid the expectation of a dozen people.
Elliot had just been talking to Callum about Laura’s injury. “Roy has already taken care of the rest. You should take good care of your injuries and continue to give lectures at school. I was wondering how a busy man like you could find time to give lectures. It turns out you have other intentions!”
The corners of Callum’s lips curled up slightly. “I have no choice. I have to come here in person because of Aurelia, who is giving me a headache. But you…” Callum was about to ask why he was so nice to Aurelia.
Suddenly, a crisp voice interrupted their conversation. “Callum, Mr. Richmond!”
Hearing this voice, the smile on Callum’s lips deepened.
Elliot waved to Aurelia. “Aurelia, come here.” As expected of a man who has read a lot of books, his every move was gentle and elegant.
Aurelia trotted over to the two of them, choosing a spot where she could see Evelyn.
Callum checked the time and asked in a deep voice, “There are still two minutes until your next class. Why are you still here?”
Aurelia didn’t answer his question, and simply ignored his displeasure. She looked at Elliot with a little embarrassment. “Mr. Richmond, do you mind if I have a minute alone with Callum?”
“What? Are you going to have a secret conversation?” Elliot asked puzzledly.
Aurelia nodded repeatedly. “It won’t be long, or you can just turn around first!”
Elliot was helpless with her, and a look of doting unconsciously appeared in his eyes. “Since it won’t be long, I’ll turn around first.” As he said that, he actually turned around.
Aurelia looked at the expressionless man with a malicious smile. In the man’s puzzled eyes, she suddenly threw herself into Callum’s arms and shouted, “Callum, I love you!”
Evelyn didn’t have to look at Aurelia’s lip movements, because her voice could be heard dozens of meters away!
The dozen or so female classmates who were watching them all covered their mouths in shock. Even Briar and Larry, who arrived later, were also stunned. When did Aurelia become so unrestrained to confess her love to her husband in public?
