Chapter 2532: Chapter 5: Alone Together
The next day, Molly Wellington got up early.
She is now a senior high school student, and with only two months until the college entrance exam, her studies are exceptionally heavy. She has to go to school for early self-study every day.
But today, she woke up an hour earlier than usual on purpose.
Because Molly Wellington planned to avoid Abraham Redington and walk out herself to flag a car on the main road outside.
At five in the morning, the head of the Lucas family was still asleep.
Molly Wellington, carrying her schoolbag, tiptoed and hurriedly ran into the restaurant downstairs.
She planned to grab some bread and milk to fill her stomach before heading out.
Unexpectedly, just as she entered the restaurant, a tall and slender figure entered her view without any warning.
Molly Wellington couldn’t help but gasp: "..."
It was actually Abraham Redington.
Unexpectedly encountering Abraham Redington in the restaurant, the girl had no time to conceal the surprise on her face.
Upon hearing Molly Wellington’s unusually audible gasp, Abraham Redington looked up in her direction.
His eyes were cool, cold, and the deep blue glance carried an undisguised aloofness.
Molly Wellington: "..."
That glance completely froze her frantic heartbeat.
"Morning..." the girl said softly, her voice low, carrying an indescribable dullness.
By this time, Abraham Redington had already withdrawn his gaze and merely nodded slightly without even sparing her a sideways glance.
She never expected Abraham Redington to be in the restaurant so early in the morning.
Noticing the sumptuous meal laid on the table, it was apparent that this man had come down much earlier and ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Molly Wellington couldn’t discern the taste in her mouth, nor did she understand what that sour, swelling feeling at the tip of her heart was.
But since there was breakfast, she should obviously sit down and eat, or else it would be too odd.
She walked over numbly and sat down opposite Abraham Redington.
Sitting in her seat, Molly Wellington skillfully spread jam on the sliced bread.
Only today, the time spent applying jam was noticeably longer than usual.
While spreading the jam, she stealthily observed Abraham Redington sitting across from her, almost unintentionally.
The man, now twenty years old, had shed the innocence of his youth.
He wore only a clean and tidy white shirt.
Although it was just a simple white shirt, paired with Abraham Redington’s handsome and indifferent features, it looked exceptionally good.
However, despite his beautiful appearance, the whole person was shrouded in a layer of indifference.
To be honest, dining opposite such a person wouldn’t give anyone a good appetite.
"I’m done eating... You take your time, I’m going to school," Molly Wellington said, not intending to catch a ride with Abraham Redington.
She hurriedly ate a piece of toast, stood up, and politely said goodbye.
Anyway, based on her experience, a person like Abraham Redington, who is so afraid of trouble,
if she didn’t mention it, he probably wouldn’t suggest giving her a ride.
"Wait a moment."
Just as Molly Wellington stood up and reached the restaurant door, Abraham Redington’s voice suddenly came from behind.
Curiously, she turned back.
She saw the man’s long, beautiful fingers pick up a napkin, lightly wipe the corner of his lips, and say unhurriedly, "I’ll take you to school."
Molly Wellington: "..."
*
Abraham Redington’s car was a sleek, limited edition sports car.
Silver, distinctly different from the black sports car Ben Lucas liked to drive.
It was more flamboyant and unruly.
This wasn’t the first time Molly Wellington had sat in a sports car; in fact, given her family background and living environment, she had been in all kinds of sports cars.
Yet today, for the first time she felt that the interior space of such a sports car was too small, too confined.
Sitting in the passenger seat, the tall and slender man was right beside her, emitting a cold aura that made even the air seem thin.
She didn’t want to be alone with Abraham Redington.
