Eleanor Sterling let out a light gasp, quickly drowned out by the car interior.
Her back pressed against a wall of flesh, as she was pulled into Alaric Faulkner’s embrace, tightly confined.
A familiar cool scent invaded her nose.
A handsome face enlarged before her eyes, as Alaric held her head, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
Soft as the wind, the kiss was lingering, rendering Eleanor’s mind incapable of thought.
At this moment, she heard Alaric whisper beside her ear, "A loving kiss needs to be given face to face."
Instantly, Eleanor’s face burned hot with embarrassment.
"You, you’re talking nonsense."
Alaric didn’t kiss her again, but he still held her waist tightly, the two maintaining a very close distance.
He slightly curved his thin lips, "That’s what you said on the phone, give me a loving kiss."
Repeatedly reminded by Alaric of her foolish act, Eleanor felt quite embarrassed, wishing she could dig a hole to hide in.
"You misheard." She murmured.
Alaric didn’t expose her lie, instead he reached out to pat her face and said, "Go back."
Carrying the things Alaric gave her, Eleanor quickly dashed back to the dormitory.
Inside the dorm, Stella Hawthorne had already returned.
Seeing Eleanor panting with a flushed face, she said, "Eleanor, why did you run back? You look like you ran breathless."
Eleanor wouldn’t tell her, so she coughed lightly and said, "Ordered take-out, rushed to eat."
She glanced at Stella and asked, somewhat curious, "Why did you come back so early? You had a date, didn’t you?"
The Medical School dorm policy isn’t too strict, except outsiders are not allowed in, and males can’t enter the females’ dorm; even staying out overnight isn’t supervised.
Sylvia Jarvis didn’t return, and might not come back tonight.
Speaking of the date, Stella seemed annoyed, she huffed, "What date! It was ruined."
Stella, looking exasperated, told Eleanor about her date tonight.
Her boyfriend is an ordinary person, with a simple family background; Stella kept her identity secret while dating him.
But the bodyguard around her was assigned by her father, constantly watching her.
Whenever her boyfriend did something excessive, he would step in to stop him.
Initially, Stella used the excuse that he was her brother, but tonight when the boyfriend tried to kiss her and was stopped again, he got angry.
Her boyfriend directly said that if the brother continued to follow them on dates, they might as well break up.
Stella blamed the bodyguard, feeling he ruined her first love.
After hearing the story, Eleanor was both amused and helpless.
The Hawthorne Family isn’t ordinary, naturally, they protect their children more, it’s an unavoidable matter.
Thus, Eleanor curiously asked about Stella’s boyfriend, what kind of person attracted her.
Stella’s eyes lit up, immediately listing many advantages.
Such as: he feeds stray animals, is very gentle, gentlemanly to girls, and is quite good-looking.
Finally, Stella sighed, "Alas, if only he were rich, my dad would surely agree to us being together."
Eleanor laughed and said, "If he’s ambitious enough, maybe he can convince your dad."
Stella nodded, "Yeah, he’s quite impressive, he ranked third in this exam, I took the Medical College exam for him."
"He’s also a college student? Then isn’t your bodyguard unable to enter? Wouldn’t that mean he couldn’t disrupt you?"
Upon hearing this, Stella became even more agitated, retorting indignantly, "Who said so! He took the exam together to monitor me and got second place, so infuriating!"
She’d studied hard for so long, yet couldn’t surpass him, even though he was always by her side ensuring her safety, she never saw him study.
"I’m going to sleep, I’ll forget the anger in dreams."
After speaking, Stella lay down on her small bed and covered herself with a blanket.
Watching her behave so innocently and adorably, Eleanor couldn’t help but chuckle. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel※fire.net
