Chapter 513
Dwight looked at Cyril and called out, “Hello, Professor Lincoln.”
Cyril was a professor, and Dwight was one of his students. They knew each other.
Cyril gave a small nod and then extended his hand toward inlsey, “Let’s go home.”
Halsey glanced at Dwight. She had planned on having him take her home, but now that her father was here, she had no choice but to go with him.
Halsey walked over to Cyril’s side.
Cyril looked at Dwight and said kindly, “It’s late. Why don’t you come with us? I’ll give you a ride.”
Dwight politely declined. “Thanks, Professor Lincoln, but can head home on my own.”
Cyril nodded. “Alright. Be careful on the road. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.”
With that, Cyril turned to leave, taking Halsey with him.
Halsey turned her head and waved a small goodbye to Dwight, reluctant to part ways.
Dwight stood there, watching them as they left.
Inside the luxury car, Halsey sat beside Cyril as the driver navigated the road ahead. Cyril broke the silence. “What exactly is your relationship with Dwight? Are you two dating?”
Halsey blushed but answered confidently, “I have feelings for him.”
Cyril frowned. “That’s nonsense! You two aren’t a good match.”
Halsey froze for a moment. “Do you have something against Dwight? I get it now–you’re judging him based on your own biases!”
Cyril sighed. “I’m not judging Dwight’s background. The boy is very talented. He was the top scholar back in the day. I personally invited him to study at Clavendale University. I treasure talent–how could I judge him based on where he comes from?”
Halsey knew her father well enough to understand that he wasn’t the type to judge people in that way. “Then why are you stopping me from being with him?”
Cyril didn’t answer directly, instead asking, “Do you know what his father did for a living?”
Halsey was taken aback. “I’ve heard that he was a drug dealer, but I don’t believe it.”
“Has Dwight never told you about this?” Cyril asked.
“No, he hasn’t.”
Cyril was aware of Dwight’s family situation. He was extremely protective of talented individuals, and he genuinely liked Dwight.
“I’m not trying to stop you from being with Dwight. I just think you should ask him if he really wants to be with you,” Cyril continued.
The fact that Dwight hadn’t told Halsey about his father meant that he wasn’t ready to be with her.

Halsey blinked, her heart racing.
“O–Of course he wants to be with me…”

Halsey was an honest girl, but even she felt uncertain as she said it. She had no idea if Dwight really wanted to be with her.
Earlier, when she had asked Dwight if he had feelings for her, he hadn’t given her a straight answer.
In truth, she was still in the phase of pursuing Dwight. Though they had shared some intimate moments, it seemed like Dwight hadn’t committed to calling it a relationship.
Still, she believed he was into her.
Her lips were still a little numb from the kiss–he had kissed her so deeply earlier, and at the end, he had even bitten her gently.
She could still feel the lingering heat in her palms.
Cyril glanced at her, his expression softening.
“Bebe, you’re all grown up now. You’re at the age for dating, and I won’t stop you. But you need to consider Dwight’s feelings, too.
“I’m not looking down on his background. On the contrary, I really like him. I’ve heard that he’s working multiple jobs right now, working in places like construction sites and bars, where things can get pretty rough.
“Here’s an idea–I’ll pay for him to tutor you. Later, I’ll have him manage Lincoln Enterprise, and he can even become the CEO.”
