Chapter 930: Chapter 930

Since Dunn was making an effort to connect with her, she couldn’t always let him lead their interactions.

Every encounter needed to build the groundwork for the next one. She wanted to see him again after the exam results were announced, while applying to universities, and eventually every day after starting university.

“You can find a professional to help you plan. Your parents probably have connections in this field.”

Aurora gave a small smile. “But I want to attend Dugruayae University.”

Dunn paused, his brows lifting slightly as realization dawned on him.

“With your academic performance, you’ll surely be admitted.”

Aurora blinked in surprise. “You know my grades?”

“The school posted the results of your most recent exam.”

Aurora offered a modest smile, trying to keep her emotions in check.

The atmosphere between them felt just right when Dunn’s phone began to ring. He glanced at it but didn’t immediately answer, letting it buzz without disconnecting the call.

“Aurora, I’m sorry, but I need to handle something urgent.”

“Okay.”

“The bill is already taken care of. Let me drive you back.”

“No need. I can manage to get back by myself.”

Dunn inferred that she likely didn’t want her family to know about their meeting, so he decided not to press the matter further.

Out of politeness, Aurora stood up as he prepared to leave. She watched him intently, her gaze following his retreating figure until he disappeared from sight.

Later, she lingered in the cafe, sitting alone for a while. By now, the bitterness of black coffee no longer bothered her. She was slowly becoming accustomed to it, understanding a bit more about Dunn’s preferences.

Ginger dozed peacefully on her lap. The warm afternoon sunlight streaming through the window blended harmoniously with the cool air conditioning, creating a calm and soothing atmosphere. Everything around her seemed serene.

Aurora glanced at her phone, rereading the message Dunn had sent shortly after leaving.

“After the exam results are released, I can help you with your university applications if I have time.”

Instead of heading home, she wandered aimlessly through the streets nearby.

To get to her high school, she often passed through this bustling commercial street.

The second floors of the buildings were typically occupied by coffee and cake shops. She had often noticed groups of boys and girls in school uniforms chatting or studying by the windows.

As she strolled past the art supply store, she remembered Molly needed more paint and drawing paper. Deciding to browse inside, she stopped at the store’s entrance.

There, an elderly man with a white beard was sketching portraits. His talent was undeniable, as a small crowd had gathered to watch. Aurora’s attention turned to the model posing for him, and her eyes lit up with excitement and recognition.

“Lynda!”

The model turned, and sure enough, it was Lynda Baldwin, the senior student Aurora had met during tutoring classes—and Dunn’s former classmate.
