Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 288

Jake still had his baseball cap pulled low and a face mask on, making it tough to get a good look at him, but the classroom fell silent the moment he stepped in.

Everyone stared, slack-jawed, at the doorway.

Was that... Jake’s voice?

But, how could it be Jake?

Wasn't Jake off in Hollywood filming a movie?

It had to be their imagination!

Suddenly, Merry stood up, her face flushed red, and dashed out. Cordelia remained frozen in place, watching the two head outside. Then, remembering what a girl had mentioned earlier about Jake's romance getting caught on camera and him admitting to it, but refusing to reveal who the girl was because she was still in school...

Still in school...

That had to be Little Bird, right?

Cordelia's eyes widened in shock. Had Little Bird really managed to snag Jake in just half a month?

Outside the classroom.

Merry looked around nervously before fixing her gaze on Jake and asking in a shaky voice, “Bro, what are you doing here?”

Jake handed her a book, “Here, brought you this.”

Merry murmured a thanks, taking the book and stealing a glance at Jake, her face turning even redder if possible.

The sunlight was just right, illuminating her pretty little face, blooming like a flower, especially her eyes, so bright and fervent, making Jake's gaze flicker.

His eyes dimmed slightly as he spoke, “You gotta stop looking at me like that.”

Merry blinked, “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t help but think of doing something... not quite suitable for kids.”

His words turned Merry’s face into a tomato!

She stuttered, standing there, her eyes darting around, her cheeks and even her neck turning a shade of deep red. She stomped her foot, blurting out, “I-I-I gotta go!”

With that, she turned and ran toward the classroom.

But after a few steps, she stopped, worried, and turned back to wave at Jake, “Bro, you should head back!”

Jake smiled.

Even with the mask on, his eyes squinted into happy crescents.

Merry felt as if his gaze was scalding, turning around once again and dashing into the classroom.

When she reached the classroom door and looked back, she saw Jake still standing there, waving at her, insisting she enter the classroom before he would leave.

Merry had no choice but to go in.

After a while, she peeked outside again, only to find Jake still there, smiling.

Merry: “............”

They waved at each other again, and suddenly, Jake formed a heart with his fingers.

Merry: “............”

She clutched her chest, feeling so overwhelmed with happiness she thought she might burst!

Brother turning into a boyfriend, it’s like every fan girl’s dream!!

When she looked outside again, she saw Jake had turned and was walking towards the school gates.

At that moment, Merry felt both relieved and a bit sad.

Jake had taken a day off just to see her, and for the next two months, he wouldn’t be able to leave the film set. Once this movie was done, he’d be tied up with another project.
