Chapter 68
In the classroom.
Cordelia was scrolling through the “Pioneers Group chat when Merry kept
rambling on, “Can you believe my idol got a side chick now? Who is this mystery
woman? Oh my god, he dropped a cool 200 thousand dollars on a bag! That
lucky lady got spoiled rotten by my man... Lia, I just can’t wrap my head around
it. My ideal husband's getting a girlfriend! But I know I gotta be a rational fan. I
should be crying tears of joy for him. Do you think his girl is an actress or just
some girl next door?”
Cordelia was taken aback.
200 thousand dollars on a bag? Little Parrot must've mistaken the number.
Little Parrot was about to continue her tirade when class started. She might have
kept going if it were others* lesson, but when Latham walked in, Little Parrot
turned back around and Cordelia finally had some peace and
quiet.
But barely five minutes later, a note landed on Cordelia’s desk.
She unfolded it to read, “Lia, who's this vixen who's bewitched my idol?”
Cordelia was at a loss for words.
That was how Merry harassed her for an entire class. As soon as Latham left the
room, Merry spun around, ready to speak, but Cordelia, for once, beat her to it,
“It's not a girlfriend, it's his mom.”
Merry paused, dumbfounded.
Cordelia let out a breath, relieved to get a word in before Merry could continue,
“The bag was a gift for his
mom, not some vixen.”
Merry blinked, dubious, “How do you know that?"
Cordelia replied earnestly, “He said so.”
Merry stared at her, sizing her up before finally cracking a smile, “Lia, I'm
touched, you've finally learned how to
comfort someone!”
Cordelia was speechless.
“Even though I know you're just trying to make me feel better, it still means a lot.
But that's not what I wanted to talk about. I've been thinking all lesson, my idol is
a top celeb back home, his Twitter drama will break the internet for days! Your
issue's gonna be totally buried!”
Cordelia was slightly taken aback.
Merry continued to muse, “Lia, your luck is out of this world!...”
Cordelia tuned out the rest of Merry’s chatter. From Latham and Merry’s
conversations, she gathered there must've been some negative buzz about her
on Twitter, but Bland’s scandal had overshadowed it.
Cordelia might not be the most emotionally intelligent, but she was sharp as a
tack.
Suddenly, she realized something...
She picked up her phone and messaged Mr. All-Round, “Did you do this for me?*
Mr. All-Round replied instantly, “Yes.
Cordelia felt warmth. Her teacher had done so much to protect her without her
knowledge. She responded gratefully.
LearnLover said, “You're so good to me.’
At Midnight Scent, Everard held his phone, a smile flickering in his deep eyes.

Cordelia might seem cold, but her heart was soft.
But was that all?
He texted back, I could be even better to you!
LearnLover replied, “T'il repay you.
Repay? Everard curled his lips, his handsome features softening. How will you
repay me?
LeamLover replied, “Whatever you ask, I'll do my best to fulfill it“
Cordelia was serious, the textbook-style answer was adorable.
But... Everard asked, “Anything at all?
LearnLover added, “Yes.
Everard chuckled lowly at that single word, his thoughts drifting before he replied,
“Remember you said that. No regrets later.
Cordelia, sensing something odd in her teacher's tone but not dwelling on it,
continued to bury herself in her
studies.
Twitter quieted down.
But the next day, Greenmeadow International School was abuzz!
Because Bland, the movie star whose scandal had brought Twitter to its knees,
had arrived at Greenmeadow to shoot a campus scene. He had chosen
Greenmeadow International School as the location.
Completely unaware of this development, Cordelia was at Midnight Scent having
breakfast.
After taking over as housekeeper, Lorna had dialed in on her tastes, knowing she
shared every breakfast with her “boyfriend”. Lorna decided to prepare a three—
person portion of a Western-style breakfast each morning for them to enjoy
together.
After all, if Cordelia was obsessed with her studies to the point of reserving her
romantic moments for breakfast time, who was Lorna to object?
The breakfast from the Delaney family was exquisite, and all three enjoyed it
immensely.
After eating their fill, Cordelia pulled on Everard’s hand.
He sat on a stool, resting his chin on his hand, watching the girl. Her face was
poreless, and her adorable cheeks was so inviting it made one want to pinch
them.
Everard raised an eyebrow, “Girl, fancy a sparring session?”
Cordelia didn’t respond immediately. She was focused on holding his hand,
feeling the pain in her chest subside. Then, with a soft gleam in her misty eyes,
she agreed, “Sure.”

Eager, Cordelia got up and loosened her limbs. Then she took a step back with

As if by accident, Everard's hand steadied her waist, while his other hand
brushed past her cheek...

The warmth of his grip around her waist was startling. Cordelia narrowed her
eyes, fury ready to erupt, but just as her temper flared, he released his hold and
stepped back, maintaining a respectable distance.
In her moment of bewilderment, he began to speak slowly, “Your move was fast,
but your vulnerability was too apparent, you should...”
Cordelia’s attention was captured, the earlier indignity momentarily forgotten.

She now had something new to learn!
After Everard finished speaking, Cordelia, eager for another round, was
reminded by him, “You're going to be late for school.”
With that reminder, she finally took her leave.
Once she was gone, Everard looked down at his hands.
The sensation of her touch lingered between his fingers, compelling him to think
her slender waist. And her skin was indeed soft and supple...
