Chapter 256 Hoodlum
Edgar lied expressionlessly. “This city is so big. It’s not strange to have the same destination, is it?”
His words and actions recently were like a hoodlum.
Seeing her silence, Edgar knocked on his car door. “Please let me get out so I can get something to eat.”
Jean snorted. “Do whatever you like.”
She turned and was about to make her way up the steps but slipped and almost fell because it had just snowed.
Thankfully, Edgar reached out to pull her in.
She fell into his arms.
“Be careful.” He lowered his gaze to look at her. The moonlight behind him enveloped him in a faint blanket of light.
Jean pushed his hands away in a hurry. “I don’t need your fake kindness.”
When Edgar’s hands were empty, she had already walked in quickly.
He smiled helplessly and walked forward when another car pulled up. A beautiful figure walked out. “There are times where even an outstanding man like Mr. Royden would lose his mind for the woman of his interest.”
A few minutes later, Jensen led Jean to sit with his classmates.
“This is Crystal Foster. I mentioned her to you this afternoon. She’s my classmate that majored in design.” Jensen smiled gently. He introduced Crystal to Jean while he took some food for Jean.
His behavior was very proactive the whole time.
Crystal was a pretty girl. She had long, straight, black hair and looked very young. She smiled as she said, “Jensen doesn’t usually ask people for favors. When he called me, I was a little astonished. I didn’t know the person he wanted to introduce me to was you.”
It seemed as though there was a different meaning to what she said.
“Ah, don’t misunderstand. I saw a draft of your design from the school’s website. Our lecturer also used your works as teaching material. You’re Luna, the designer that the design company MON & Co. made an exception for and signed. That’s you, right?”
Jensen looked at Jean. “You’re Luna?”
It was as if other people were also surprised.
Jean nodded, baffled. “Is there a problem?”
Jensen was overjoyed. “Don’t you know how popular you are? Crystal, tell her how much your design classmates admire her designs.”
Crystal’s smile deepened.
Seeing how Jensen was taking such good care of Jean, she changed the topic. “You’re not majoring in design. I better talk to Jean in private.”
“That’s true. You two should exchange numbers.”
What Crystal said made Jean hesitate.
Previously, in Jimmy’s shop, she used the name Luna. At the time, Jimmy was also quite surprised.
It was just that Jean didn’t think too much about it at the time.
“Jensen, how did the two of you meet?” Someone was curious and asked. “You’re a famed bachelor in our circle of overseas students. Now that you have someone, many are going to weep in secret.”
“Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have that kind of relationship with Jean. At least, not yet,” Jensen said in a gentle and secure tone.
His feelings for Jean were obvious.
As Crystal took food for herself, her expression darkened.
“Excuse me.” Jean felt a little awkward. She stood up and went to the washroom.
She never thought that she would bump into Crystal as soon as she came out.
She was a tall and thin woman. She had a scornful smile on her face. “Why would someone as innocent as Jensen pursue a divorced woman like you!”
With that expression, it was as if she was a completely different person from earlier.
“You like Jensen?”
