Half an hour later, Briar still appeared in the dining room, dragging her feet. Frank greeted her enthusiastically, “Briar, over here, come sit

Briar completely ignored Ashton, who was watching her eagerly, and walked straight past him to sit beside Frank. She said nothing and silently ate her

breakfast.

At Shoneport University, Frank had long grown used to Briar’s cold and quiet demeanor. He didn’t find it strange at all and happily whispered to her as they ate.

However, Connor, who had spent years in the complex and dangerous border areas, immediately noticed that Briar was intentionally giving someone the cold shoulder. His gaze turned to Ashton, and he mouthed, “Mr. Wade, she’s mad.”

Ashton mouthed back, “I know.”

Connor continued, “Want me to drag Frank away?”

Ashton shook his head to decline. If Connor forcibly dragged Frank away, Briar might clam up even more.

Lacking experience in relationships, Ashton rubbed his temples in frustration and mentally asked, ‘How do I coax an angry girlfriend?”

After breakfast, Briar refused Ashton’s offer to drive her to school and instead walked to Shoneport University with Frank.

Watching the girl with the backpack walking away without even looking back, Ashton looked utterly helpless. He turned to Connor with sincerity. “How do you usually coax Frank when he’s mad?”

Connor raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Wade, my way of coaxing might not work for you…”

Ashton looked puzzled. “Why not?”

Connor cleared his throat and replied plainly, “Frank is tough and can take a lot of… rough handling.”

That made Ashton cough awkwardly. “Yeah, that method definitely doesn’t work for me.”
