"Who were you with this early in the morning?" Santiago asked while eating breakfast, not looking up to meet her gaze. Raeleigh said, "I went out for a walk."
"Then, why didn't I see you? I also went out for a walk." Santiago continued to ask.
"I didn't see you, either." Raeleigh sat up after being satiated and paid no attention to him.
Scarlett raised her head to look at Raeleigh and Santiago. She thought that Santiago's future wife must be well- prepared for all his unnerving questions.
Scarlette followed after Raeleigh. Raeleigh was on her way to the classroom when she was stopped by Scarlette. Scarlette asked her, "What were you doing in the morning?"
"Nothing. I just went for a walk outside." Raeleigh didn't say anything. She was afraid that she would be scolded if she told her what had happened.
Scarlette believed that Raeleigh would be safe with Santiago by her side. Without prying further, they went to the classroom.
The university was holding a huge basketball match that afternoon. Many people went to watch the game. Scarlette wanted to drag Raeleigh along with her to the game, but Raeleigh refused.
"Let's go," Scarlette pleaded, for she also knew how to play basketball.
Raeleigh shook her head. "I have no interest in it. You can go on your own."
"What would happen to you if I was not around?" Scarlette really wanted to go.
"I'll go back to the dorm and lock the door. No one will kidnap me."
"Then, I'll go back with you. After you lock the door, I'll take my leave."
"Alright."
Scarlette and Raeleigh walked back to the dormitory. Raeleigh opened her notebook and started reading it. Scarlette deduced that it was safe for her as long as the door was locked. Besides, Zorion would be participating in the match, so his fangirls would be there too.
There was nothing to worry about. So, Raeleigh was left alone in the bedroom while Scarlette went to watch the game.
Santiago was forced to take part in the match. After changing his clothes, Santiago stood outside, looking unhappy.
He didn't want to play, but he was forced into it by
those who did not get the hint.
Zorion saw that Santiago was approaching, so he took the opportunity to leave by going to the bathroom.
Santiago wasn't a fool. When he saw Zorion escaping, he grabbed his shirt and walked out of the room. However, the moment he reached the door, he was blocked by Deanna.
Deanna looked at Santiago with her head tilted to one side. "Santiago, I've come to seek revenge on the matter that you've wrongly accused me of."
"I don't have time to talk about this matter. Find someone else to bother." Santiago didn't give a damn about Deanna at all. He walked away. Deanna shouted, "Santiago, don't you dare escape! I'll go to your family and tell your grandmother that you're working together to deceive her. Think about it, how will your grandmother treat Raeleigh?"
Santiago stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Deanna. His expression was extremely bitter as he said, "Deanna, we grew up together. I regard you as my sister. How did you end up like this?"
Deanna clenched her teeth, and her little face was sour. "That's my business. Now, come with me."
Turning around, Deanna went to another location. Zorion was going to find Raeleigh, so she decided to take Santiago to the library.
There were a row of trees on the way to the library. Deanna didn't say anything and just kept her head low. She was already irritated by Santiago. The person who bothered her the most in this world was him. Ever since she was young, she hated his existence since he was born.
