Chapter 307
As the bell rang for the end of class, Ava quickly pulled Alex along, her steps quick and almost like
being pursued by a wolf behind her. But indeed, there was a wolf chasing after her.
Ava’s nervous heart raced irregularly, and she did not dare look back. She walked ahead desperately,
causing Alex to stumble slightly as she pulled her along. “Sweetheart, where are you planning to hide?”
In the dorm, she needed to ease her mood and regain her composure.
A captivating and magnetic voice with a sense of security came from behind, saying, “Hey, buddy. I
need your sweetheart. for a few minutes.”
At those words, the two people hurrying ahead suddenly halted, and Alex lowered her voice to remind
Ava. “Sweetheart, I think you can avoid him this time, but not next time. Why not face it head-on? You
can confront him with your confidence and address the injustices you have faced”
After saying that. Alex nodded earnestly and encouraged her.
In Alex’s opinion, Frank was quite impressive. Apart from being exceptionally handsome, he also
exuded a strong sense of decency. It was not surprising that Ava was attracted to him.
After a moment of contemplation, Ava finally agreed. Alright, she would face it directly then. “You go
back to the dorm first.”
Alex replied. “Okay, then I won’t have lunch with you. You probably won’t be able to make it back.”
Ava still had feelings for Frank, but after the last time he rejected her, she felt embarrassed and hurt.
She had even deleted. his contact on WhatsApp, intending to erase him from her memory. Yet, here he
was, coming back to ask for answers. What about the tears she shed earlier? She felt quite unfair
about it.
Mentally preparing herself. Ava turned around, but her small hands were nervously clasped behind her
back.
Frank had his hands in his pockets, exuding an explosion of masculine charisma. His cap was reversed
on his head, and his mask had been put away in the pocket.
His chiseled features were captivating, making it hard to resist his charm. Ava scolded herself for
lacking self-control and trying not to be swayed by his looks. She pretended to remain composed and
emotionless as she spoke, “Tell me your
motive.”
Ava wore a white off-shoulder dress with thin straps on the shoulders and a high ponytail adorned with
a bright and eye-catching hairband, which seemed to be custom-made.
The earrings were shaped like maple leaves, reflecting autumn colors. They contrasted beautifully with
her exposed collarbones, where the skin appeared delicate and tender.
A subtle touch of makeup adorned her peachy cheeks, making her appear like a budding flower. Her
facial features were well-defined and captivating, exuding a fresh and charming allure, and strands of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthair gently danced around her heart. Frank pressed his hand against the cap on his head and spoke in
a low, magnetic tone, “To pursue you.” His voice carried a hint of amusement as he slightly raised his
voice in the last word.
With just a few simple words, Ava’s fidgeting hands behind her back began to intertwine. She took a
deep breath and finally managed to utter a single word with all her strength. “Alright.”
The visible happiness appeared at the corner of her lips. Even Ava herself did not realize that she had
unintentionally revealed her true feelings.
Frank naturally noticed, but he was willing to play along with his princess. “What do you say?”
What? Ava was dumbfounded.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Frank found it adorable. They were basking in the sunlight together,
and he noticed the faint sweat on her forehead. He took off his cap and took a step forward.
Startled, Ava instinctively stepped back. In the next moment, the black cap was placed on her head,
casting an instant shadow over her face. It turned out that he wanted to shield her from the sun. She
had thought…
“Wear it. My princess can not be hurt by sunburn” Frank explained.
Ava’s mind briefly conjured an image of her being sunburned. She burst into laughter in the next
second, and her smile was as refreshing as a breeze in spring.
Ava laughed for a while, but seeing that Frank had not continued the previous conversation, she felt
awkward. She cleared her throat and asked, “Didn’t you say I should focus on studying and avoid
relationships at the moment?”
She was referring to her phone conversation with her mother on the island that night, which Frank
overheard. He then told her the school did not allow students to have relationships and advised her to
concentrate on her studies.
As Frank often said these things, Ava felt that he looked down on her age. So, on the second day after
returning to Sapphire
City, she bought some suits, chiffon blouses, and elegant dresses to show her feminine side.
Wasn’t be concerned about her young age? Didn’t he know that women relied on their outfits to appear
mature?
Frank was not offended. Instead, he chuckled. He knew that she was irritated. He used her previous
words to retort, saying. “Your memory is quite good, so you remember every word I have said.”
If Ava admitted to remembering, that would mean she missed him a lot. This was something she could
not admit. “I don’t remember. I just thought of it suddenly.”
Ava thought to herself, “Exactly, I must not admit it.”
Frank glanced at her delicate little face, slightly flushed from the sun. He said softly. “Let me take you
back home.”
Ava lied. Tm going back to… the dorm.
“You don’t have classes this afternoon” Frank revealed her lie right away.
Ava looked at the handsome man next to her with surprise. “You checked my class schedule?”
“Yeah,” he responded calmly, openly admitting it without hiding.
Frank continued expressing his intentions. “I’ll keep pursuing you.” Whether you agreed or not, he left
the latter part of the sentence unsaid.
Ava suddenly changed her opinion of the man walking beside her. The previously reserved guy was
now being direct. “Have you pursued any girls before? You seem so straightforward.”
Ava was genuinely curious but also anxious. She regretted asking the question as soon as it left her
mouth. She was afraid he would say yes. It was the paradox of being a woman, torn between wanting
to know and fearing the answer. Women were creatures of paradox.
One second passed, then another. Frank still had not answered. Just as Ava thought that Frank would
not respond, a soft voice echoed in her ears. “I learned it from you.”
Before Ava could refute it, the next sentence quickly followed. “I have never pursued a girl before.
You’re the first. My experience comes from you.”
Ava’s words were stuck in her throat by the reply.
In the beginning. Ava had aggressively pursued Frank with great momentum, but now the tables had
turned. It was his turn to be assertive.
Thinking about it, she still felt satisfied deep down. He said he had never pursued girls before. But was
it because he had never pursued, never had a girlfriend, or never liked anyone?
Frank, always keen and observant, had already noticed the contemplative expression on Ava’s slightly
furrowed face. He lifted the corner of his lips, smiling, and said. “Never had a girlfriend, never pursued
anyone.”
Ava lifted her gaze in a sudden movement, looking at his composed face. Her thoughts spilled out
involuntarily. “Can you read minds?”
Frank looking down at her with a smug smile, replied, “No.”
This young lady’s emotions and thoughts were written all over her face, plainly visible. What use was
there for mind-reading?
“I guessed it.”
Ava lowered her gaze, looking at her shoes, and walked alongside him toward the parking lot. “Alright.”
Frank drove Ava to the manor entrance of the Turner Manor, then made a call to Trevon, asking him to
come out and pick her up.
Throughout the car ride, Ava sat in silence in the front passenger seat. Frank did not disturb her, and
the atmosphere was quiet and tense, almost unbearable. Her nails were almost clawed off
Frank remained focused on the road ahead, driving attentively, without any intention of disturbing her.
His thoughts were inscrutable, leaving people guessing.
Ava unfastened her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out. Within moments, another car appeared
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom inside the manor. One of the doors opened, clearly indicating no intention to avoid Frank.
Frank furrowed his brow as he looked at the six doors. His gaze deepened. He reached over and
opened the rear door of Trevon’s car. Once Ava had settled inside, he said to no one in particular, “Go.”
Trevon did not get out of the car. He rolled down the window, leaning on it casually, and asked with a
hint of strugness, “Why not come in and sit for a while? The manor is quite large. You have come all
this way, at least enjoy a day out.”
How could Frank not detect the smugness? He chuckled and replied, “Maybe next time. You can take a
longer stroll around first to refresh your memory of the manor.”
“Did you buy this car or rent it? Trevon raised his chin slightly as he glanced at Frank’s new car and
brand-new license plate Frank did not respond to the question, automatically avoiding it. He started the
car and drove away
Ava subconsciously looked at the Porsche speeding away, kicking up dust, and felt a hint of
disappointment.
Trevon in the driver’s seat was full of subtlety and scheming Before, he had nothing to leverage, but
now he did. Through the rearview mirror, he brainwashed Ava “Ava, let me tell you, you can’t forgive
Frank so quickly, or else he won’t cherish you in the future”
Ava, who was sitting in the back seat, sat forward and asked, “Trevon, do you feel the same way? But
you know, whenever I see him. I waver in my decision. He is exactly my type”
Trevon believed that Ava had been lured by Frank’s appearance and was easily swayed. He continued
to influence her. “Ava, is he pursuing you now!
Ava recounted the events of the day to Trevon. At this point. Trevon was practically a family member to
her. There was no need to hide anything Moreover, he was Frank’s best friend, so he must understand
Frank better and offer sensible advice.
After listening to Ava’s explanation. Trevon had to admit that Frank handled things swiftly and cleanly.
He had first dealt with Joseph, and now he had gone straight to the school for Ava, openly stating his
intentions
Trevon had to admit that Fr
the disguise was revealed,
cas scheming, but very impressive In Athana, Frank was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and now
Ava reminded. Trevon in the front Trevon, tell me Did Frank ever like any girls before?”
Trevon maintained a hint of moral integrity and carefully selected his words. He never had a girlfriend,
but many girls liked hum
Trevon did not mention that Frank had rejected all those girls and kept himself clean Considering how
challenging it was for him to pursue his wife, he wanted Frank to share hardships with him as his best
friend.
In the next second. Ava as deep in the tht in the backseat, not saying a word. Trevon was quite
satisfied with her reaction, his scheming smule hidden from)
