Halsey paused for a moment. She was indeed wearing a halpin, but it was a gift from her aunt.
Alina chuckled. “You’re wearing a thousand dollar Chatelairpin like it’s nothing, but that kind of money would take Dwight forever to earn. Do you really think you two are a good match?”
Halsey put her hands on her hips, “What does it matter to you if we’re a good match? You and Dwight aren’t a good match, that’s for sure!”
Alina sneered. “You little…”
At that moment, Dwight turned to Alina, his voice cold as spoke, “Get out of my face. Don’t make me say it a third time.”
Alina, torn between love and fear for Dwight, shivered as his ley gaze landed on her.
“Fine! Just wait and see. You and Halsey won’t have a good ending,” Alina snapped, then turned and walked away with her group.
“Finally, she’s gone.” Halsey turned to Dwight. “Don’t fall for her. She’s not nice–she kept insulting you!”
Dwight looked at her, puzzled. “What did she say?”
Halsey hesitated, trying to protect his pride. She said carefully, “She mentioned your family situation.”
Dwight understood immediately. His family background wasn’t exactly a secret, and he didn’t care what others said.
Dwight looked into Halsey’s bright, beautiful almond–shaped eyes. “Is that why you fought with her? Because she insulted me?”
Halsey nodded. “Yes!”
Suddenly, Dwight took a step closer to her, his long legs carrying him forward. He asked, his voice low, “So you have feelings for me?”
Halsey’s heart skipped a beat, and she could feel her pulse racing. She had never felt this way before–her heart was out of control, and her face turned crimson,
When she had been with Gilbert, everything had been calm and unremarkable. But with Dwight, she felt like her entire being was on fire.
This was the first time she had felt this around a man. She had fallen for Dwight.
From the moment he appeared out of nowhere on that rainy night, she had been drawn to him, unable to look
away.
Halsey gazed at him, her big eyes sparkling with uncertainty. “L..
Dwight had already noticed the look in her eyes, a look that Alina and other girls who pursued him often gave him.
He took another step forward. “Do you want me to be your boyfriend?”
Halsey’s fingers nervously tugged at the fabric of her shirt. She was shy, but she was also someone who loved fiercely. She wasn’t afraid to express her feelings. If she was into someone, she wanted to say it out loud.
Halsey tilted her face up to look at him. “Will you?”
She was asking if he would be her boyfriend.

Dwight shook his head. “No.”
Halsey froze.
Dwight’s expression remained unreadable as he added, “Don’t waste your time on me. I’m not interested in you.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Halsey stood still, stunned. He said he wasn’t Interested inher? But then why had he asked?
She watched as Dwight’s cold, aloof figure disappeared from view, her frustration building. Why wasn’t he interested?
Just then, she heard Sienna’s voice from behind.
“Gilbert, did you hear that? Halsey has feelings for Dwight she even confessed to him just now, but he rejected her. It’s hilarious!”
Halsey spun around to see two familiar faces–Sienna and Gilbert.
The whole fight with Alina had already reached Sienna’s ears, and she had immediately brought Gilbert over. So, they had witnessed everything that had just happened between Halsey and Dwight.
Gilbert’s eyes were cold as he glared at Halsey, clearly displeased.
Sienna, on the other hand, looked like she was enjoying the spectacle.
Halsey didn’t want to see either of them, nor did she feel embarrassed about being rejected.
“So it’s just two annoying eavesdroppers,” she said, rolling her eyes.
