Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639

Rebecca looked at the helpless shop owner. “I’ll settle his bill.”

“That won’t do. You’re a student too,” the shop owner said. “It’s fine. I’ll wait for my grandson.”

Just then, someone rushed in like a gust of wind, slapped 50 dollars on the table, pointed at Rebecca, and said, “That covers both our meals.”

He ran off without waiting for change.

“Well…” The owner was at a loss.

Rebecca quietly finished her pasta. The owner gave her the change, “He’s your classmate, right? Please give this back to him. We serve students and don’t overcharge them.”

Rebecca paused. “Okay, I’ll return it to him.”

She thought she wouldn’t see Vance again until Monday. But after finishing her dance practice at the studio, she ran into him down stairs in a newly opened cake shop.

She had planned to buy some cupcakes for Josette, who loved eating sweet and soft treats. She then remembered that it was the same place her parents had tricked her into. That was why Vance had timely rescued her.

After his irresponsible father abandoned him, the young and stubborn Vance started working part–time on weekends and during his free time to earn money.

Later, she learned that his part–time jobs were not just about earning money but also about gaining experience.

While other senior students were battling in the sea of exercises, he not only kept up with his studies but also managed a restaurant, which reportedly earned a good income.

Later, when he went to university, he sold the restaurant, accumulating his first funds for entrepreneurship.

“It’s my treat. I’m not that poor.”

“I know. This is the change for both meals. Thank you for the treat.

He paused, then shrugged. “You’re welcome. Consider it repayment.”

“Repayment?”

“Yes. I ate your pumpkin pie on Halloween, and I bought you pasta. We’re even now.”

She hadn’t expected him to settle the score this way. She had remembered that Halloween, with its bright golden osmanthus and fragrant scent, for a long time.

This approach wasn’t bad, though. She had planned to stop liking him and to have no further close interactions with him anyway.
