As expected, Hansel still didn’t respond.

Willow stopped trying to make conversation. Instead, she pulled her winter jacket tighter around herself as she sat with him on the wooden bench outside of campus. She endured the biting cold wind and accompanied Hansel as the night gradually descended. 

It wasn’t until the sky was fully dark, the street lights flickered on, and the neon signs at the distant commercial district began to light up that Hansel finally stood up slowly. 

Willow was surprised and called out, “Hey…” 

Hansel ignored her and headed to his car. He got in, started the engine, and drove off. 

At that moment, Willow found herself a little envious of Miranda. How did she manage to make such a proud man willingly lower himself for her? How could she remain unmoved by the allure of luxury cars and expensive watches? 

Sure enough, she had clearly witnessed the scene of Hansel dropping Miranda off earlier. Although she was too far away to hear what they were saying, it wasn’t hard to deduce from the dejected look on his face that Miranda had rejected him. And it obviously wasn’t a gentle rejection. 

Willow shoved her hands into the pockets of her winter jacket, feeling the warmth slowly returning to her cold palms. She had kept Hansel company in such cold weather and sat with him against the biting winds. Even with long boots on, her feet had become as cold as ice. 

Still, she thought it was worth it. 

The glance Hansel gave her earlier showed that he at least recognized her. Her lips curled up into a smile as she looked in the direction that he drove away. The envy in her eyes gradually transformed into determination. 

The first time she ran into Hansel, Willow had simply been curious about him. After their repeated encounters, she realized he was from a social class far beyond her reach. 

If she missed such an opportunity, it might never come again. So why would she hesitate? 

It was just that… 

He seemed to be much harder to win over than she initially thought. 

At that thought, Willow couldn’t stop herself from frowning. But soon, her gaze became eager once more. 

High difficulty meant getting high returns. Wasn’t that all the more worth pursuing? 

Hansel returned to the mansion, feeling utterly defeated. At this hour, Martha had already finished cleaning and left. He was the only person in the large, vast space. 

Calvin was aware of his plans. He guessed that there would be an outcome by this time, so he called to ask, “So, how did it go? Was Miranda deeply moved? Did she agree to get back together?” 

Hansel’s chest tightened. He didn’t answer the question; instead, he said, “Come out and have a drink

with me.” 

Calvin’s heart sank. He realized what must have happened.
