Chapter 369
[Answer me!] Stanley demanded.
Wendy couldn’t help but laugh.
Who did he think Stanley was? Her boss? Why should she listen to him?
She ignored him once again.
Samuel, sitting in the driver’s seat, chuckled. “Wendy, even though you and Mr. Hawk are divorced, I can’t help but feel like there’s still something between you two. Is he still interested in you?”
Wendy shrugged, uninterested. “I don’t know.”
Samuel smirked. “When I put my arm around you in the store, he looked like he wanted to chop my hand off. I have to say, pretending to be your boyfriend is a dangerous job.”
Wendy turned her head to look at him. “Well, if you don’t want to pretend, I could always
ask Daryl or Ernest.”
“Don’t even think about it. I’d walk through fire for you!”
The two of them joked and laughed, and before long, they arrived at Clavendale University. Wendy made her way to the girls‘ dorm, only to find that Halsey wasn’t there.
Wendy sat down to wait for her.
As Wendy had guessed, Halsey had gone to find Dwight.
Halsey arrived at Dwight’s classroom, and before she could call out to the students inside, two male students quickly approached her.
“Hey, Halsey!”
Halsey blinked, surprised. “You know me?”

“You’ve been coming to find Dwight for a whole week now. Of course, we know you!”

“And now, you’re a famous figure around here. That incident with Dwight and Gilbert fighting over you at the basketball game? Everyone’s talking about it.”
Halsey didn’t realize she had become somewhat of a campus celebrity. Her birthmark had disappeared, and her oval face was now even more radiant and charming, drawing admiring glances wherever she went.
Today, Halsey wore the school uniform: a white blouse with a blue skirt, topped off with a navy blue blazer. Her long black hair hung freely, and she wore a fringe that gave her the look of a pure, innocent student.
Halsey blushed slightly. “So, is Dwight in today?”
The two male students shook their heads. “No. He hasn’t been to school for several days
now.”
He missed school again.
Halsey felt a pang of disappointment. “Okay, thanks. I’ll be going now.”
She grabbed her handbag and turned to leave. Inside her bag was his black jacket, which
she still hadn’t returned to him.
After winning the basketball game against Gilbert, Dwight had walked away without a glance in her direction, not even acknowledging her.
Halsey made her way to the women’s restroom to wash her hands. Just then, a few senior girls walked in, with the leader being the prettiest girl in her department, Alina Rowe.
Alina came from a wealthy family and was famous for her beautiful slender legs, prompting many boys to pursue her. She was chatting with her friends, and they began teasing her.
“Have
you managed to win Dwight over yet?”
Dwight?

Alina replied arrogantly, “Not yet. I’ve been pursuing him for so long, but he hasn’t given me the time of day. I think he’s just pretending, acting cold and ignoring me.”
Her pretty face was marked by frustration.
“Yeah, I’m sure he’s pretending. He must be secretly enjoying it–he’s being wooed by the prettiest girl in the department with those stunning legs!”
“I think Dwight is just an ungrateful idiot. So many rich young men have driven their sports cars to the dorms to chase after Alina. They’ve all been rejected, but this poor kid thinks he’s special?”
Alina smiled with a hint of bitterness. “Honestly, the only reason I like Dwight is because he’s handsome. He’s got that rugged, tough vibe. If not for that, I would’ve kept my distance from him for his messy
background.”
