Making 19
Marco’s stern expression couldn’t help but soften.
He was thinking about what his parents had said. Was Christine really willing to accept him?
Or did she have no choice but to give him the invitation for the sake of the relationship between the Fosters and the Chapmans?
However, no matter what, it was the first time Christine had come to the basketball court, which was a great surprise for Marco regardless.
He threw the basketball to a classmate, then walked towards Christine, who was standing by the basketball court. Facing the carly morning sunlight, his eyes shone brightly.
Christine was the most perfect girl in his heart. Her temperament, beauty, and character were all perfect.
She was the only woman worthy of being the love of his life.
He was getting closer and closer to Christine, 40 feet, 30 feet, 20 feet…
When he went across half the court, a boy suddenly came up to Christine and said, “Christine, sorry, I’m late!”
Marco halted his steps immediately. His expression froze over, and a cold gleam flickered through his eyes.
It was Gilmore!
Again!
Marco couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.
Yes, the boy that came up to Christine was Gilmore.
This time, the boys who were playing basketball with Marco on the basketball court, as well as dozens of girls at the side of the court, couldn’t believe their
eyes.
What?
Wasn’t Christine here at the court for Marco?
She was here for someone else!
Even from a distance, those boys who were playing basketball could feel Marco’s. awkwardness.
All girls who admired Marco felt
of
sorry for him.
They wanted to rush over and tell Marco, “Christine doesn’t cherish you, and we do.”
Those girls were about to cry…
Christine didn’t seem to know how embarrassed Marco was. Like other girls in love, she said to Gilmore with a pout, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.
To be honest, Christine only wanted Gilmore to comfort her.
The reason why she chose to meet Gilmore on this basketball court was that she knew that Marco would play basketball with others here every morning.
This way, when Marco saw how intimate Gilmore and she were, he would definitely be
very angry.
As long as Marco would give up pursuing her, her parents and Marco’s parents would not want her to be with him.
However, Gilmore didn’t comfort Christine at all. Instead, he gave her two doughnuts and a cup of coffee in a paper bag.
Gilmore gave Christine the food and said, “I am late because I went to buy breakfast for you. I’m sorry!”
Christine was speechless.
So was Marco.
The boys who were playing basketball on the court, and the girls at the side of the court were all speechless.
Then, Marco’s iceberg–like face twitched. How dared Gilmore buy Christine something as cheap as doughnuts and coffee? He had gone too far!
Some of the basketball players also looked down on Gilmore in their hearts.
The girls on the sidelines were also shocked. They couldn’t believe this boy bought doughnuts and coffee as breakfast for Christine, the most beautiful girl at Oakhaven University!
2:3
He was truly one of a kind!
They even wished that a flash of lightning could strike this weirdo, Gilmore, down. immediately!
In this way, they wouldn’t have to see such a stupid scene!
Christine was also shocked by Gilmore’s choice of breakfast for her!
It wasn’t that she didn’t like the doughnuts and coffee Gilmore bought her, but she felt embarrassed eating them in front of so many people.
Would they think that the girl from a rich family was experiencing the life of commoners?
Or that she truly enjoyed doughnuts and coffee?
Although Christine was deeply discouraged by Gilmore, she knew that she had to put on a show.
Hence, she took the food from Gilmore with a faint smile. “Thank you for your breakfast!”
Her pretty and delicate little nose even sniffed the doughnuts on purpose and praised, “Oh! It smells good!”
As soon as Christine said that, everyone, including Marco, was shocked!
That was especially true of Marco. He felt as though someone had stabbed him with a knife!
He had invited Christine to a Michelin restaurant or to eat French cuisine and Japanese cuisine many times, but Christine always refused him.
But now, Christine said that the doughnuts Gilmore had bought her smelled so good.. He felt that Christine truly had double standards.
“Gilmore, I will eat the doughnuts and coffee later.” Christine changed the topic and said to Gilmore “I came looking for you today because I have something for you.”
Gilmore was also very curious about the thing that Christine mentioned on WhatsApp last night.
Christine gave the invitation to Gilmore, saying, “Here is an invitation.”
Π
Gilmore’s mouth twitched when he saw the invitation card in Christine’s hands, which had two hearts linked together and the word “LOVE” on it.
The design of the invitation was so vulgar!
From the heart–to–heart pattern and the word “LOVE“, Gilmore couldn’t help thinking, “Is Christine going to have a fake marriage with me?”
But she just asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend.
There was nothing about a fake marriage on the contract.
Of course, Gilmore could pretend to marry Christine only if she agreed to sleep with him.
At this thought, a smile appeared on the corners of Gilmore’s lips unconsciously. However, Christine’s next words shattered Gilmore’s fantasy. “It is my 20th birthday this Saturday. This is an
invitation to my birthday party. Please attend the party on time.” Gilmore was surprised by the answer. Weren’t they pretending to get married?
Although it was not a fake marriage, it was not a bad idea to attend a party. Then, Gilmore took the invitation with a smile and said, “Don’t worry. I will definitely attend your birthday party on time on Saturday.”
“I’ll be waiting for you then. I’ll go back to the Department of Art for class first.” After saying that, Christine was about to leave.
“I have to go back to the Department of Medicine too. Let’s walk together,” said
Gilmore.
Christine nodded slightly.
After walking less than ten meters away from the court, Gilmore asked Christine, “What? Don’t you like doughnuts and coffee?”
His words almost left Christine in tears. She mustered a smile on her face. “Of course, I do.
“Then why don’t you eat it now? They are not as delicious when they get cold.
“Alright!”
Then, Christine opened her mouth desperately and took a bite of the doughnut.
15:36 The Aug 15
Once again. Marro and the others were shocked.
It was not until Gilmore and Christine disappeared from their sight that they recovered from their shock
Then, Marco left with a gloomy expression without speaking
Everyone on the basketball court knew why Marco left without a word.
Christine did not give Marco the invitation to her birthday party but gave it to Gilmore instead. How could Marco be in a good mood? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
But what surprised them the most was that Christine, the most beautiful girl at Oakhaven University and daughter of a rich family, actually ate the cheap doughnuts and coffee that Gilmore bought her.
They were still struggling to accept the truth.
On a secluded path on campus, Christine, who had just parted with Gilmore, looked at half a doughnut and the half–emptied cup of coffee in her hands.
Her resentment was very deep as she mumbled, “Gilmore the bastard! He actually made me eat these in front of so many people. My image has been completely ruined. Damn. you, Gilmore, I will tear you apart bit by bit!”
However, she went on to tear off a large chunk of the half–caten doughnut in her hand instead of Gilmore.
The doughnut filled her mouth, finally stopping her from cursing Gilmore.
However, after chewing and swallowing the food, she savored it and said, “I didn’t
expect it to be so delicious. Tomorrow, I’ll ask that bastard Gilmore to buy me again..
