She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302: A Dog is a Human's Most Faithful Friend

The change in Nicholas' attitude made Reece wonder what had happened.

The following day, Nicholas bragged in class that he had kissed Kate, describing her as sweet and tender, with lips as fragrant and soft as jelly.

To everyone's surprise, Kate didn't show up for class that day.

Reece, however, remembered the kiss he had shared with Kate on the sofa. Just like what Nicholas said, it had been sweet and had a texture even better than jelly.

Why? Why would she kiss Nicholas? Did Kate actually like that scumbag?

Fueled by anger, Reece once again ran to the Zamora Villa and positioned himself beneath Kate's window. Her room's balcony was adorned with succulents, making it easy to identify.

Reece, like a fool, loudly questioned her from below, asking why she had kissed another guy. Onlookers from the neighborhood gathered around. Sensing a chilling and disapproving gaze behind him, Reece turned around to find Eddie, who had returned from school.

Eddie was dressed in a white hoodie with black suit pants, and his chestnut short hair shone like gold in the sunlight. His fair and warm face carried a faint, enigmatic smile. He elegantly closed the long-handled umbrella he was carrying, meticulously straightening out the folds on top.

Reece, unconsciously, covered his chest with his hand. He had two broken ribs, and the doctor had advised him to rest in bed. Still, he had insisted on coming to school. His father was so moved, thinking he was dedicated to his studies.

In reality, Reece had come to school only to seek Cheyenne's help in dealing with Nicholas and his gang, intending to enjoy some drama. However, as soon as he arrived, he discovered that Kate hadn't shown up for class.

Both he and Kate had followed Cheyenne since elementary school, but Kate was absent today, so Reece ran to Kate's house with his injuries to find her.

On the upper floor, Reece's shout, "Why did you kiss another guy?" disturbed Kate. She had been repeatedly cleaning her lips with face wash and alcohol since returning home last night. Inadvertently, her lips got chapped, leaving her lips swollen and red, making they look lik sausages.

Kate, who naturally cared about her appearance and was sensitive to external perceptions due to her adolescence, couldn't possibly attend class with such unattractive lips. So, she lied to her brother, Eddie, saying she had been stung by a hornet and was experiencing an allergic reaction, requesting three days off.

In reality, in Kate's mind, Nicholas' mouth was more foul-smelling than a sewer. Kissing him, even if it was just a peck, made her feel as disgusted as if she had eaten feces.

Now, Reece's loud shout not only made her brother know she was lying, but the neighbors around as well know that her lips were swollen from kissing a boy.

The window on the second floor suddenly flung open, revealing a figure in a pink cartoon mask, wearing a white floral nightgown, with long hair cascading around her shoulders.

She looked almost ghostly.

With a roar directed at him below, she exclaimed, "Reece, you're such a damn fool!"

After her outburst, Kate slammed the window shut with a "thud."

Eddie, holding an umbrella, approached Reece, casting a disdainful look and asking, "You're not leaving yet? Waiting for me to beat you up?"

"Uh... I, I... I'll come back to see Kate another time," Reece stammered.
