Chapter 344
Though he said he would play matchmaker, Benjamin wasn’t truly serious about it. He knew his grandson wasn’t good enough for Aria,
Still, he hadn’t expected Sebastian to actually be interested in her.
After a moment, Benjamin sighed. “This is beyond my control. You’re on your
ur own.”
Sebastian gave his grandfather a plaintive look. “Grandpa, didn’t you say you’d set us up?”
Benjamin chuckled and waved his hand dismissively. “I was just joking.”
He looked at Sebastian and said bluntly, “Look at yourself–she’s a graduate advisor at Mandino University, and you’re still just a student. Do you really think you’re in her league?”
Sebastian’s eyes lit up. Since Aria was a professor, which meant they’d likely run into each other often on campus.
Their statuses might not match, but their ages did.
He was about to finish his third year of grad scho
I and would be graduating soon.
Once he graduated, they could be together.
The more Sebastian thought about it, the more excite
I he became.
Benjamin saw his grandson bubbling with enthusiasm and decided not to rain on his parade.
As soon as Aria stepped out of the elevator, Derek came charging toward her and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.
The next second, her feet left the ground.
“Aria! I got in!” Derek shouted. His voice was full of excitement and joy.
As he shouted, he spun her around in circles.
Aria felt a bit dizzy from the spinning. With a wry smile, she said, “Alright, I heard you.”
Ever since Derek got close to Aria, he felt he’d been getting luckier.
The moment he saw the provisional admission list, he was overwhelmed with happiness and rushed straight to Aria’s place to share the good news.
After calming down, Derek put Aria down and said, “Let’s go eat at Amour Bistro! Call Owen and Caleb too. My treat!”
Aria said as she opened the door, “They get off work at six. It’s still early. Come in and rest. I’ll make a reservation.”
Derek beamed. “Can we get, the Golden Premier Suite?”
“Sure thing,” said Aria.
Derek cheered, “Aria, you’re the best!”
At six o’clock in the evening, the two arrived at Amour Bistro.
It was Derek’s first time in the Golden Premier Suite. He was full of curiosity, touching the elegant tableware and admiring the artwork on the wall.
After a while, he finally sat down and picked up the menu to order.

Just as Derek finished ordering, his phone on the table suddenly buzzed,
Lennox: [Hey Derek, I just got provisionally admitted to Kanit University. My mom is really happy and wants to treat everyone to dinner. Ne taxi cre
Kanit University’s computer science provisional admission list was announced two weeks earlier than Mandino University’s.
Coincidentally, the provisional admission in
both Computer Science and Pharmaceutical Analysis at Mandino University were released at the same
time that day.
Lennox had clearly chosen this moment to share the news, even mentioning his mom’s dinner just to gloat.
Too bad he was about to be disappointed.
Lennox: [Oh, I almost forgot–Derek, you applied
out. Did you get in?]
Lennox added: [Did you talk to Aria in advance? Or should I go
ask her to make an exception for you?]
Derek snorted coldly and typed: [It’s none of your business.]
Lennox: [Come on, we’re cousins. Of course, it’s my business. Everyone was talking about you today, saying there’s no way you’d get in. I said you were

Looking at the message, Derek could imagine that fake, smug grin on Lennox’s face.
He sneered and didn’t bother replying to Lennox.
Not long after, his phone buzzed again. Another message popped up on the screen.
Lennox: [Hey Derek, I booked the Golden Premier Suite at Amour Bistro. Hurry over. We’re already on our way and will be there any minute.]
