Chapter 122
The two strolled one behind the other.
When Harvey and Snow came out, all they saw were Jared and Nicole’s distant back.
Under the illumination of the street lights, two slender shadows gradually overlapped in one place and stretched out endlessly in the night.
Harvey’s smile slowly dwindled as he locked his gaze on them.
His eyes, which were usually gentle, became icy.
It was not until the girls behind him said their goodbyes that he turned around with a smile and told them to be careful on the way home.
After seeing those girls being picked up by cars one after the other, Harvey took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm.
He spoke to Snow on the side, “Snow, go back.”
He was telling her to stop following him.
The smile on Snow’s face froze.
She had noticed Harvey’s grim expression when he was looking at Nicole’s back.
Snow pursed her lips and murmured, “Harvey, you’ve been acting strange lately.
What’s wrong with you?” Snow’s words had startled Harvey.
‘Even Snow is aware of my unusual behavior.
How could I not notice? It’s all because of Nicole.
There were subtle, mixed feelings in Harvey’s eyes.
Could it be… love at first sight? Or Is it because Grandpa thinks so highly of her that I am so concerned about her?’ Gradually, Harvey couldn’t tell what was on his mind at that moment.
Little did he know that Snow, who was behind him, had already put all the blames on Nicole.
Snow cursed silently, ‘It’s all because of her!
(Ever since Nicole enrolled in the Royal Creek Institute, everyone’s attention has been drawn to her unknowingly.
“When Raine kept telling me that Nicole had stolen Gary from her, I wasn’t bothered because I thought Harvey would be different.
Who would have expected him to directly ask Nicole to be his girlfriend?’
Snow bought into the rumor that Harvey had done it for a game.
However, she noticed that his behavior had become more unusual recently.
Apart from that, she was also well aware of Harvey’s increasing attention on Nicole.
She could tell by the look in Harvey’s eyes.
Nonetheless, Snow knew it was not her place to question Harvey because he had never agreed to let her be his girlfriend.
All this while, it was just her alone who had longed to be his girl.
Now that I come to think of it, I’m just Harvey’s sidekick, a position that merely satisfied a part of my vanity.
But the fact is, I’ve gotten nothing from it! When Snow thought of this, the gentleness in her eyes were replaced by resentment.
She could not help but asked, “Harvey, do you really want to choose Nicole? Can’t it be me instead?” She thought, ‘Nicole has only met Harvey for a few times.
Why can she easily get what I’ve been chasing after? And because of her, I was abandoned like a pawn! ; .
Snow had given Harvey implicit and explicit hints about her feelings.
But this was the first
time she had spoken so bluntly.
Harvey gave her a glance.
Before she could react, Harvey turned and walked in the direction where Jared and Nicole had gone.
Snow watched him leave.
‘I will never let go of Harvey! No matter how distant he is, I will find a way to enter his heart and become someone special to him!
‘As for Nicole, she already has Jared as her fiancé! There’s no way I will let her steal Harvey from me!’ Snow gritted his teeth at the thought of this and followed.
Harvey’s current mind was full of thoughts about Nicole to the point that he was unaware that Snow was behind him.
‘Is Jared Johnston really her boyfriend?’ Harvey was thinking that he should back out immediately if Jared liked Nicole.
She thanked him and went upstairs directly.
Jared was standing under the street lamp.
