Chapter 176: 176/The Exam of Trust

Chapter 176

Julie’s Point of View

My eyes widened in a shock that paralyzed my movement. A slight tremor ran through my limbs as I stared at the familiar building before me; what I was seeing couldn’t possibly be real! We were standing right at the university gates.

I turned toward Robert, who was watching my stunned reaction with cold indifference.

"You aren’t dreaming," he said in a calm tone.

I swallowed hard, my heart hammering violently against my ribs. "What are we doing here?" I asked, my voice cracking.

"You have a final exam today, don’t you?" he replied, locking his gaze onto mine.

In that instant, memories flooded my brain like a torrential tide. I remembered the final exam I thought I had lost the chance for forever. A pang of sorrow gripped my heart. "Yes... today," I whispered brokenly.

I began to imagine the worst; had he brought me here to punish me? To show me my classmates taking their exams and moving on with their lives while I remained trapped here, a prisoner in his luxury car and at his mercy? A chill swept through my body as I waited for his usual sadism, but he surprised me with a definitive statement: "You will take your exam today."

My body jolted, and I turned toward him fully, my mouth hanging open in genuine disbelief. "What?!"

Robert’s Point of View

I watched the unprecedented shock in her eyes; she couldn’t believe I had brought her here to take her exam.

I leaned toward her slowly, feeling her rapid breaths as she tracked my movement. I reached out and unbuckled her seatbelt, saying in a low voice, "Yes, as you heard... today, you will take your exam."

I leaned back into my seat, observing her scattered features. "I can’t believe it! Are you serious?" she asked, her voice trembling from the shock.

"Enough. Do you want me to change my mind?" I said with feigned coldness.

The words had barely left my mouth when she lunged at me, hugging me with an impulsiveness I hadn’t expected.

Her arms wrapped tightly around my neck, her face buried in my shoulder as she whispered in a voice drenched in gratitude, "Thank you so much... thank you!" I slowly reached out and placed my hand on her back.

Damn... her embrace was something I hadn’t anticipated. I felt a warmth seeping into my limbs, melting the ice around my heart.

She lifted her head to look at me with those shining green eyes and that enchanting smile that revealed her dimples.

She was arousing me to a terrifying degree... if I were to die one day, I would want to be buried right there, in that look. "I can’t describe how happy I am," she said eagerly.

And that was exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted to see her happy. I couldn’t get past the idea of her losing an entire year of her life just because she was locked up with me; she is far too brilliant for that.

I suddenly gripped her by the hips and lifted her from her seat in one motion until she was in my lap, facing me eye-to-eye, her legs straddling mine. She looked at me with a mix of terror and desire.

I pinned her back against the steering wheel and leaned in until her ragged breaths fanned over me.
