A tall, handsome man stood before Miranda. He was offering her a bouquet of yellow roses, but her. expression didn’t look pleased. 

Yasmine clicked her tongue. “Pretty girls really do have the advantage. It’s only been a few days since school started, and someone’s already going after her? 

She added, “By the way, Willow, you’re not bad–looking yourself. How come no one’s giving, owers?”

Joli’s lips twitched. “You mean the toothbrush that’s already losing its bristles or the face towel with a hole in it?” 

Theodore’s dark complexion flushed in embarrassment. “I–I figured I could still use them, so I didn’t get 

new ones.

Joli sighed, seeing a reflection of his past self.

Theodore, on the other hand, went to a regular university for his bachelor’s degree and had to work hard. He had to take the graduate exam twice before finally getting into Bedford College. 

As they were both from the same hometown and had known each other since they were kids, Joll felt a responsibility to take care of him..
