The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 524

At the mention of the word "college," the brightness in Anya's eyes dimmed a little. She lowered her head, a hint of disappointment creeping into her tone.

"My grades weren't good enough, so I didn't get in. I didn't have the money to keep studying anyway, so I came out to look for work."

Anya looked up, a smile returning to her face.

"But then I met Nora. She saw I had nowhere to go and was willing to take me in, giving me food and a place to stay at the shop. She even taught me how to take care of the plants. I'm already really happy with this."

"Just being able to help out in the shop every day and make my own money with my own two hands... I think my life is pretty good right now."

Gideon remained silent for a moment, his expression calm and thoughtful, before he spoke evenly.

"If you want to continue your education, I can arrange it. A local university, or a prep school abroad—wherever you want to go, I will fully fund your tuition and living expenses. You won't have to worry about a thing."

The broom in Anya's hands nearly slipped to the floor. Her eyes went wide as she stared at him, her mouth slightly agape, unable to make a sound for several seconds.

"R-Really?"

She finally stammered, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Mr. Hayes, you... you're really willing to help me?"

Gideon nodded.

"You've helped Nora a lot. You've been with her these past two years, and you've taken good care of her in the shop. You deserve this."

Anya's face flushed bright red with excitement as she bowed repeatedly in thanks.

"Thank you, Mr. Hayes! If I can really go back to school, I... I don't even know how to repay you!"

The sunlight washed over them, painting a picture of perfect harmony.
