Capítulo 16: Pick-Up

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Caroline was now a first-year student at the top private university, Alexandria College. Her major was Modern Art Appreciation, which was a major for ignorant and incompetent rich people to earn some money and pass the time.

Caroline didn't mind going back to school to further her studies, but she didn't want to waste her precious time on this major.

The Lambert family villa was quite a distance away from the school, and the chauffeur at home would obviously not listen to her orders and send her to school. Caroline knew how to drive, but no one cared if she wanted to learn how to drive, nor did she get a driver's license. So, Caroline could only walk out and take the bus like the original.

For convenience, Caroline added a 'driving test' segment to her must do list. She stood at the bus stop and thought about her plans for the day. Suddenly, a familiar-looking car stopped in front of her.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Edwin's handsome face appeared behind the car window with a smile as warm as the sun.

It was such a coincidence. Caroline clutched her bag and returned a polite smile. "Good morning, Mr. Anderson."

"Edwin. That's what you can call me," Edwin said quickly.

"Yes, Mr. Anderson." However, Caroline did not go along with his wishes.

Edwin looked at her helplessly. "Then may I have the honor to send you off today?"

"I'm honored." The bus didn't arrive for a long time. Caroline, who was a little impatient, opened the door and got in.

Caroline didn't believe that someone as shrewd and dangerous as Edwin would fall in love with a pitiful-looking little girl just because of a chance encounter on the street. There must be a reason for him to make an exception and 'coincidentally' meet her time and time again.

However, Caroline expressed that she had nothing to lose now. So, with the convenience in front of her, it would be a waste if she did not take advantage of it.

This time, she didn't need to say anything. Oleg, who was sitting in the front seat, had already driven to Alexander College on his own accord. He obviously knew her to a certain extent.

In the back seat, Edwin sat in the middle. This was a distance that wasn't considered normal social. Caroline could clearly feel the body temperature of another person beside her. Caroline leaned against the car door and put some distance between them.

"So, Mr. Anderson just so happens to be going to Alexandria College for some business today?"

"I can't help it," said Edwin helplessly. "There are too many complicated matters in the family, so I have to run around often. Yes, the Anderson family was the largest shareholder of Alexandria College." Their family's business was indeed complicated.

Furthermore, logically speaking, a small business like Alexandria College didn't need his help at all.

"That's really tough." Caroline looked at his slightly pale face. "However, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health. Otherwise, you will lose more than you gain."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned cold.

"Are you saying that my body is not good?" Edwin's low voice, which made her ears itch, sounded above her head with a hint of grievance.

For some reason, Caroline felt as though an electric current had passed through her body, and even her bones felt numb.

This man was too good at bewitching people!

Caroline pinched her arm secretly, and the slight pain helped her to escape from the throbbing in her heart.

She looked up and saw Edwin's magnified face and his eyes that were as deep as the sea.

Caroline blinked and blinked again. "You're so close to me and you're looking at me so seriously."

She paused for a moment, and when Edwin was two centimeters closer, she continued, "Is it because of my eyebrows this morning?"

That one sentence drove away all the ambiguous atmosphere in the car.

Edwin was obviously stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curved up, and he couldn't help but laugh. Even Oleg, who was driving, couldn't help but turn to look at him.

"You're an interesting girl." He sat back in his original position and returned to being a proper and self-restrained noble young master, as if he was not the one who had just committed offensive and rude behavior.

Caroline furrowed her brows. "This comment, coming from your mouth, doesn't feel like a compliment."

After laughing for a while, Edwin's face seemed to have regained some color, and his eyes were glistening with tears. He looked at Caroline with a deep affection in his eyes. "To me, everything that I say about you is a compliment."
