Chapter b195 /bYoung folks

    “The rumors have already gone viral, so deleting the posts won’t make much of a difference,” Renee remarked with a careless shrug as she swiped her card to gain entry into the dorm.” Wherever there’s smoke, there’s always a fire. If there was not so much evidence, wouldizens have believed the rumors in the first ce? Would people in his circle have believed them? Moreover…”

    She paused, and then added with a scoff, “The fact that Marcelo, as someone who values his privacy, deleted the posts doesn’t mean he’s denying anything.”

    It might even be his way of protecting Vivian and preventing her from bing gossip fodder. After all, Marcelo had always seen Vivian as a special person.

    Just as they were settling down in their dorm room, Marvin suddenly called.

    Sarah saw the caller ID, but she muted the phone and ignored the call.

    Not long after, Vance also called.

    Worried that something bad had happened, she answered it this time.

    “Sarah, you’re deliberately ignoring my calls, eh?” the voice on the other end said usingly.

    It was none other than Marvin!

    “Um…I didn’t hear the phone ring,” Sarah lied, already making a mental note to not answer Vance’s calls too next time.

    “By the way, why did you call? Do you need something?” she quickly asked in an innocent

    tone.

    “I just wanted to invite you for dinner,” Marvin told her.

    “I just had dinner,” Sarah replied immediately.

    “Then how about ate–night snack?” Marvin suggested. “I’m already down here, outside your dorm building.”

    “I’ve already bought snacks. They’re on the coffee table in front of me as we speak,” Sarah replied in a firm tone. “In fact, I don’t n to go out tonight.”

    Marvin recalled what Sarah had once said about the basic rules of courtship being “obedience, “so he tried a different approach. “How about tomorrow, then? Why don’t we have breakfast together?”

    “I n to sleep in, so no, there will be no need for that,” She responded.

    “Lunch then?” Marvin persisted.

    “No, I…”

    “But Sarah, you agreed to let me chase you!” Marvin wailed in frustration before she could finish rejecting histest suggestion.

    He sounded like he had been duped.

    “What?!” Sarah gasped in astonishment. “When did I agree to such a thing?”

    She knew it was impossible for her to make such an agreement.

    “Well, you didn’t outrightly refuse,” Marvin grumbled.

    Well, this was one of the benefits of ying dumb. Even if she had rejected him, he could act like he didn’t know.

    Sarah was so frustrated that she didn’t know what to say.

    Had she really failed to refuse him?

    But if she remembered correctly, he had told her that her refusal wouldn’t stop him from continuing to chase her!

    “Let me make myself clear, Marvin,” she said in a firm tone that brooked no discussion. ” There will be no eating, no going out together, and no romantic rtionship!”

    Then she hung up. She definitely wasn’t going to be persuaded or pressured into being close to him.

    “What is going on with you and Marvin?” Renee asked tentatively. Despite only hearing Sarah’s side of the conversation, she could sense the tension present in their exchange.

    “He said he wants to keep chasing me,” Sarah informed her.

    He had also said that he liked her and that he would like to marry her.

    Renee was shocked by this.

    But given the previous incident where she caught Marvin forcibly kissing Sarah, this didn’t sound unexpected after all.

    “Renee, do you know how I feel right now?” Sarah mumbled.

    “How?” Renee asked curiously.

    Sarah rested her chin on her hand and sighed. “I feel like I’m being watched by a wolf,” she sighed.

    As far as she was concerned, it was a dangerous situation and she needed to run away

    fast!

    b+15 /bBONUS

    Sporting a grim face, Marcelo walked out of a milk tea shop with a cup of milk tea in his hand.

    “Sir, I could have done this for you,” Luke remarked, referring to the matter bof /bbuying milk

    tea.

    Marcelo was someone whose time was very valuable. But he had just queued for twenty minutes just to buy a cup of milk tea that was worth only a few bucks.

    “You want to buy it for my wife?” He asked in a sharp tone.

    “I…I didn’t mean that,” Luke quickly exined.

    Marcelo was perfectlyfortable with buying the milk tea by himself. He could remember Renee’s words very clearly.

    She had said that milk tea was equivalent to an apology.

    That was why he bought it by himself.

    He just never expected that the university milk tea shop would be so crowded! Didn’t the students have sses to attend?

    While he was on the queue, his tall and handsome figure that was dressed head to toe in expensive designer wear attracted a lot of attention.

    Some of the students thought he looked familiar, but they just couldn’t ce his face.

    Even those who vaguely remembered seeing his face at the Bellbanks University anniversary couldn’t associate this healthy and freely walking man that was standing on a queue with the wheelchair–bound sponsor they had seen before.

    “Excuse me, handsome, can I have your contact? I promise I won’t bother you unnecessarily,” A fashionably dressed girl boldly said to him.

    “I have a wife, and I don’t cheat,” Marcelo told her straightforwardly.

    With these words, he turned and walked away, leaving the girl standing there in shock.

    A young, handsome guy like this was already married?

    But so what? She was only trying to strike up a conversation, not suggesting that he cheat on his wife with her!

    Marcelo suddenly stopped in his tracks as he moved forward.

    “Luke, go purchase another cup of milk tea,” he instructed, remembering that Sarah was currently living with Renee.

    However, he had no intention of personally acquiring Sarah’s portion.

    Luke knew the reason behind Marcelo’smand and responded with a nod,

    Chapter 195 Young folks

    b“/bSure.”

    Owing to Luke’s recent hard worki, /iMarcelo had doubled his quarterly bonus. Luke thought of using the bonus to invest in two milk tea shops. It would be a fitting gesture for Renee.

    Ten minutester, Marcelo, holding two cups of milk tea, encountered the middle–aged dormitory manager during the registration process.

    The manager scrutinized the information Marcelo provided and asked with suspicion, “Are

    you

    here for Miss Hudson?”

    “Yes.”

    “You’re the one!” The manager abruptly seized the registration book, obstructing Marcelo frompleting the registration process.

    “Leave! Miss Hudson is a woman, and you, being a man, are not allowed to enter and isee /iher.” Yesterday, he visited Renee without any hindrance, but today, it appeared to be impossible. Marcelo promptly sensed the peculiarity in the manager’s statements. “You recognize me?” “Of course, you’re the big shot trying to harass Miss Hudson, aren’t you?” The manager eyed Marcelo suspiciously. “You’re all dressed up and appearing so respectable, but I bet you’re up to no good. Young folks these days are learning all the wrong things.”

    Marcelo felt bewildered.
