Chapter 1482
Of course, Bailey did not tell Carmen the truth because he was already used to concealing his feelings.
He seemed to be taciturn like when he was a kid, but on the other hand, she was loquacious. As a result, the two of them continued to chat while they walked together.
Bailey pushed his bike and Carmen followed beside him while talking about herself and asking him questions.
“When I was studying at Eton College, one of my classmates was a relative of yours! I wonder whether he greeted you for me. By the way, I’ve been paying attention to your success for the past few years. Bailey, you really are brilliant. You are as brilliant as my grandpa! What is your next step? You’ve already brought the Adams Insurance to this level and I don’t think there is any possibility of improving it any better. Are you interested in investing in artificial intelligence?”
She kept on rambling.
On the way to their destination, Carmen’s mouth just could not stop moving. Bailey only answered her with a simple ‘Yes’, ‘I see’ and ‘I’ve seen that’, as if he was trying his best to keep his words to a minimum.
Then, she skipped in front of him while he continued to push his bike with firm steps behind her. As he gazed at her, the sunset helped to coat her tiny body with a layer of gold.
At that moment, her whole body was shining. She is still the angel in my memories.
Although he did not chat much with her and his attitude seemed alienating, he would gaze at her every time she averted her eyes. I feel that silently looking at her is a kind of happiness for me.
The two of them talked in tandem while they walked past the lake toward the educational building. When they arrived near the building, Carmen suddenly patted her head. “Oh sh*t, I’m late!”
She actually forgot the time while chatting with Bailey. The moment she took a look at her children’s wristwatch, she was shocked. “I’m doomed. The evening study started 15 minutes ago. Oh no!”
“Bailey, I need to leave now. I’m late for my evening study!”
After that, Carmen ran in a rush while Bailey watched her leave. As soon as he could no longer see her, he rode his bike and wore his helmet before leaving.
While riding the bike, he thought, That children’s watch was given to her by her father, right? Back then, after that incident with her parents, she kept on cherishing the last wristwatch that her father gave her as a gift. To her, that watch has a significant meaning.
When he arrived at the school gate, he saw Nathan and Casper waiting for him in the guard house. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Bailey, where have you been? We’ve been waiting for you for so long!” Nathan asked as soon as he saw Bailey.
However, Bailey did not stop as he replied in a monotonous tone, “I was lost.”
Nathan did not ask the second time.
It was impossible for Bailey to be lost on his way over there, but that was his personality. If he did not want to talk about something, there was no point in asking him the second time.
Nathan and Bailey had known each other for more than 10 years. At that time, Bailey would often visit Bayside University to play basketball, so they got together one day on the court; after all, they were of the same age. Also, Nathan was a modest person, so he would constantly ask Bailey for help in his academics.
Even though he used to help Michael to defeat Bailey, it did not seem to affect their gay-like friendship afterward at all. Therefore, they would often hang out together to have a drink or play basketball. Lately, they would even ride sports bikes together.
While they got on their bike and prepared to leave, Casper was drinking a cup of warm goji berry that Theo gave him. When Casper saw that Nathan and Bailey were leaving, he responded in a hurry, “Wait for me.”
Casper quickly went back to put the cup down. When Theo saw that they were leaving, he said to Casper, “Cas, you should come more often and play with Carmen. She has been heartbroken by love recently.”
Among the kids that grew up with Carmen, Theo still liked Casper the most. Sour Face’s personality is too cold and arrogant, which most girls can’t stand. As for Ashton, he is careless and doesn’t know how to take care of others. In the end, Casper is the best. Not only is he handsome, he is also polite and knows how to take care of others. He’s much better than that fake Taylor Murray. Although Casper and Carmen are relatives from the Michel Family, their connection has been diluted after many generations, so it won’t matter. Besides, the Michel Family also hopes that they can be together. If the two of them can be together, that’ll be perfect.
Naturally, Casper knew Theo’s intention, so he grinned. “Alright! I’m now studying at Bayside University, so I’ll come to visit her more often in the future.”
After Theo nodded his head in relief, he seemed to remember something a second later and halted Casper and reminded, “Um… Do you know about that… celebrity dance party? Carmen has already received an invitation, so her mother has been preparing her dress for the past few days!”
Casper immediately understood, so he made an ‘OK’ gesture to Theo. “Don’t worry. I’m the best at dancing. I’ll return home and prepare my suit!”
Sophia entered the fashion industry more than a decade ago. In order to unite the entire fashion industry in Bayside City to deal with the menacing Ronney Group, she founded the Bayside City Fashion Society.
Starting from 10 years ago, the Bayside City Fashion Society would host a coming-of-age party annually for the daughters of noble families who were stepping into society for the first time.
The participants were all specifically chosen, so they needed to be the top ladies in Bayside City who were transitioning to adulthood. For every young woman from noble families in Bayside City, receiving the invitation to the Fashion Society’s dance party would be the perfect coming-of-age present!
Based on Carmen’s background and personal requirements, it was no doubt that she would be chosen for the party; it also helped that her mother was the chairwoman of the Fashion Society.
However, the dance party only provided the venue, so the participants needed to bring their own dresses and partners!
Sophia would be preparing the dress for Carmen. As for the partner… Theo was trying not to be obvious.
After that, Casper happily rode away while feeling like a cheerful little bird. As soon as he caught up to Nathan and Bailey at the front, he asked cheerfully, “Did you hear that? Carmen is attending the dance party. She’ll definitely be the prettiest lady at the party!”
Sadly, no one answered him.
Nathan was feeling a little upset. I wonder if my beloved little sister will invite me to be her dance partner? I’m sure that the answer will be no because I don’t know how to dance!
When he was a young child, Sophia would hold his tiny hand and practice dancing with him, but he was as stiff as a wooden puppet with strings.
As for Bailey, he remained silent with his lips pressed.
However, for some reason, Casper felt goosebumps all over his body, as if he was being secretly targeted by someone.
When he remembered something, he asked Bailey, “When we were playing basketball, why did you suddenly walk away alone?”
They initially planned to play basketball in the school and visit Carmen. She was now in her senior year of high school and she was so busy that they could not even see her.
However, before even getting on the court, Bailey left without a word.
As expected, Casper did not receive any answers from him. He doesn’t seem to wear his ears every time he comes outside. He always has this same attitude whenever we hang out together.
The three of them rode their bikes and left.
On the way, Casper felt goosebumps all over him, as if a peerless monster was targeting him.
