Andrew took a step forward. âShould we go after that guy? Wait, whatâs his name again? Jason Wilson? No, Jason Davis.â
Zane immediately added, âMr. Chavez, Ms. Zeller, Iâll send people to look into Jason right now. If heâs still in Seacrity, it shouldnât be hard to find him. Once we locate him, weâll make sure to capture him immediately.â
Jeremiah nodded, lowering his head and casting a side glance at Yvette, âAre you hungry?â
Yvette said with a faint smile on her face, âOkay, letâs have steak.
Seeing her expression, Jeremiah smiled and immediately agreed, âSure. Should we go to the place near the school again? Iâll also order some milkshakes. Would you like extra sugar and cream?â
Andrewâs mouth twitched, his tone dripping with sarcasm. âDonât you feel sorry for us, Jeremiah?â
Wyatt and Zane, knowing their place, didnât dare to make fun of Jeremiah. They silently stayed to the side, not saying a word.
Jeremiah shot a glance at Andrew, his expression indifferent as he held Yvetteâs hand, walking toward the door. âNot really.â
Andrew choked back his words, thinking, âFine. I knew Jeremiah wouldnât feel sorry for us.â
Yvette paused, turned around, and looked at the three behind her with raising eyebrows. âDo you want to come with us?â
Zane and Wyatt answered in perfect unison, âNo need.â. Having Jeremiah around, they didnât think they would be at ease when they ate.
Jeremiah was speechless.
Andrew jogged up, dramatically pointing at Jeremiah. âI know youâre the best, Yvette. Look at Jeremiah, he doesnât even want to bring me along for steak. Anyway, I wonât have more than you can afford.â
Yvette glanced at Andrew and said in a casual tone, âI was asking them, not you.â
Andrew felt extremely upset when he heard that.
Zane walked over and gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. âMr. Chavez just thinks youâre disturbing them, Andrew.â
As soon as Yvette, Jeremiah, and Andrew entered the steakhouse, they caused quite a stir. Most of the eyes in the room immediately turned toward Yvette.
The place was mostly filled with Argrol University students, and almost every one of them knew Yvette.
In just a month since she transferred to Argrol University, she had been involved in a lot of crazy incidents for even the most unaware people to recognize her. After she took a leave from school about two weeks ago, there were already people on the forum counting the days until she came back. And there were tons of comments below the post.
Now, seeing her suddenly show up in the steakhouse, some people seized the opportunity to snap a few photos of her and quickly posted them on the forum, where they were immediately pinned to the top.
The students snapping photos of Yvette had no idea how much buzz she would create. Just ten minutes after posting, there were already hundreds of comments piling up, with fans of her beauty and career equally enthusiastic.
[Is my goddess back? Finally! I miss her so much!]
[She still has that stunning beauty! I love that indifferent look! But seriously, those sneaky shots are terrible.]
[Hey, the shots are still pretty good!]
[Letâs be clear, this isnât just good; sheâs absolutely attractive!]
[Youâre quite good at flattering.]
[This legendary is finally back! Do you guys think she was off at some international art exhibit or something? Sheâs been gone so long. She must have something amazing to show us!]
[Now youâve got everyone excited!]
Bonnie had just stepped out of the library, feeling pretty down. Her scholarship had been unexpectedly canceled by Patrick and given to another male student in the physics department. It didnât make sense to her because her grades were better.
When she confronted Patrick, all he said was it was a âcomprehensive evaluationâ and told her not to make a fuss.
Today, while accompanying some students to Seacrity Hospital, Bonnie spotted Zachary being carried off an ambulance. She quickly called Yvette to let her know the news.
Bonnie thought for a moment before pulling out her phone to check in on Yvette. Just as she did, she received a message from her. [Iâm at the steakhouse near the school.]
Bonnie cheered up. Grabbing the book she had borrowed from the library, she headed straight to the steakhouse.
In the private room, Jeremiah had ordered his usual dish while Yvette had three different flavors of milkshake in front of her.
There were strawberries, cantaloupe, and mango.
Andrew felt a little nauseous just looking at it.
Yvette lounged in her chair, sipping the cantaloupe milkshake while playing with her phone, waiting for the food to arrive. There was a playful defiance in her delicate features as she said, âBonnie will be joining us.â
Jeremiah didnât say anything, but Andrew clearly became excited.
Jeremiah glanced at Andrew and joked, âYou seem very happy.â
Andrew and joked, âYou seem ve Andrew blinked, nodding vigorously. âIâm bored here, okay? Having her will make me feel much better.â
Jeremiah paused, then with a blank face, cut the steak for Yvette. Just as Yvette was about to put her phone away, she received a message from Simon. [Someone posted photos of you being at the steakhouse on the forum. When are you coming back to class?]
She stared at the screen for a few seconds before replying, [The day after tomorrow.]
Simon responded immediately, [Okay, come to the office when youâre back.]
Yvette texted, [Okay.]
In the principalâs office, Simon logged out of Argrol Universityâs forum before sending a text back to someone in Betrico.
During the past half month that Yvette was away, James had been sending him messages almost every day, checking on Yvetteâs whereabouts. Now that she was back, he could finally reassure him.
As soon as Bonnie pushed the door open and spotted Yvette sitting in the steakhouse, she rushed past Andrew without a word.
âYouâre back, Yvette! I missed you so much!â
Jeremiah casually glanced at Bonnie who was tugging at Yvetteâs shirt, but didnât say anything.
Yvette rubbed Bonnieâs head, squinted with a smile, and said slowly, âTake a seat. I ordered your favorite dish.â
Bonnie happily sat next to Yyette, pulling her chair a bit closer to her. Then she turned to Jeremiah, completely carefree. âHi, Jeremiah.â
Andrew, feeling a bit left out as Bonnie ignored him and focused only on Yvette, cleared his throat to grab her attention. âDidnât you see such a charming guy like me here, Bonnie?â
Only then did Bonnie turn her head, giving him a quick look of disdain. âI see you, but I donât think you are as charming as you said.â
Their banter instantly fell into a familia
