Chapter 572: Chapter 572 Boyfriend Gets Jealous_1
Seeing them both with expressions as blank as a wooden chicken, Purple Summers felt bewildered and puzzled.
She shouldn’t have shown any flaws, right? What was going on?
“You said it yourself yesterday…” Jane McCain was super speechless, “One night passes and you forget everything?”
“I said it myself?!” Purple Summers was shocked and immediately looked to Zara Jameson.
Zara Jameson nodded with a complex expression on her face.
Purple Summers was even more astonished. Zara Jameson was known for her honest nature and wouldn’t lie, so had she really “spoken truth after wine” last night?
Alas! Drinking really causes trouble!
Just as she was hesitating, unsure how to explain things to her two friends, the class bell rang at the right moment, allowing Purple Summers to temporarily escape calamity.
But there was still after class, lunch break, and after school, when she would inevitably have to explain everything clearly.
“…I didn’t mean to hide it from you, at first, I was firmly rejecting him.”
During the lunch break at noon, as they queued up for food in the cafeteria, Purple Summers tried to explain the situation to Zara Jameson and Jane McCain. She tried to adjust her attitude, emphasizing over and over that she was truly focused on her studies.
“I rejected him so many times, but he never gave up, so I was somewhat moved… Because we weren’t officially in a relationship, I didn’t tell anyone,” Purple Summers explained. “I was actually planning to wait until things were more certain before I told you.”
Jane McCain listened in silence. The high and mighty head of the Howard Family clinging to a female student like gum? That took a lot of imagination.
Zara Jameson said, “His car looked quite expensive, and he has a driver too. He seems wealthy, Purple Purple, no matter what, you have to be careful.”
This statement, at first, felt like a splash of cold water, but considering the actual circumstances, one could understand why Zara Jameson would say that.
Many rich young men liked to hook up with female students from Grey School; having a girlfriend from there as company, when going out socially, seemed to give them a lot of prestige.
Zara Jameson, concerned, asked, “What’s his name, how old is he? One of these days, I’ll get my brother to check him out, see what his character is like.”
Purple Summers’s smile was forced, “No need to check, his character… is not that great.”
The head of the villains was indeed him.
Zara Jameson thought Purple Summers was joking and laughed, “Anyone who manages to win Purple Purple’s heart must be exceptional.”
Then she paused, turned her head to look at Jane McCain, and asked, “Janie, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Jane McCain was usually the most gossipy, so her silence today was out of character.
Jane McCain dared not voice her thoughts; she awkwardly responded, “I was just thinking… uh, without Ryan Wesley here, there’s no one to help us save a seat for lunch…”
Purple Summers and Zara Jameson both laughed out loud.
“Indeed, that’s a problem,” Purple Summers remarked. “I haven’t seen him for a long time and I miss him. I guess we won’t meet again until the summer vacation.”
The student cafeteria was crowded; the three girls bought their meals and carried their trays to the small grove inside the school.
Concerned that Zara Jameson might continue asking about the boyfriend issue, Jane McCain deliberately changed the subject and asked Purple Summers, “After you got drunk, you seemed to forget everything. Do you still remember about helping prosecutor Allen Rivera with his case?”
Purple Summers, with her spoon in hand, indeed came to a stop. She pondered seriously, remaining silent for a while.
Zara Jameson, anxious on her behalf, said, “Purple Purple, you haven’t truly forgotten, right? You and prosecutor Allen Rivera had agreed to go to the Douglas Family this weekend.”
“Ah?” Purple Summers was surprised; she vaguely remembered something about the case, but had absolutely no recollection of going to the Douglas Family this weekend!
“This won’t do…” Purple Summers fretted. “My boyfriend will be jealous.”
