Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 269 The Sole Owner

After saying goodbye to Jordan, Milly finally breathed a sigh of relief. She settled. onto the bench beneath the gazebo, the weight that had burdened her shoulders. for so long now lifted.

“Phew, the task is finally completed,” she murmured to herself, a soft smile gracing her features.

Jordan had accurately described the school’s expanse. Despite their limited. exploration, they had traversed a considerable distance. Sensing Milly’s fatigue, Jordan chose to forego further exploration. Nonetheless, Milly felt utterly drained.

Contrarily, Lucius, who had accompanied her throughout, seemed unaffected by the campus tour. He remained calm and collected, showing no signs of exhaustion. Standing calmly next to her, he took out a water bottle and offered it to her.

Milly actually wanted to refuse with dignity, but right now, she was indeed thirsty.

“Thanks,” she said gratefully as she took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank almost half of it, instantly feeling revitalized.

Earlier, with Jordan around, she hadn’t paid much attention, but now, alone with Lucius in the gazebo, time seemed to crawl. She longed to leave right away.

But that wouldn’t be courteous, especially given Lucius‘ unpredictable demeanour. She knew she needed to proceed cautiously.

“These flowers are really beautiful, don’t you think?” Milly commented, looking at a red bloom close to the gazebo, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.

Lucius glanced briefly at the flower she had pointed out but stayed silent.

Perfect, now the atmosphere is even more awkward!

Clenching her jaw, Milly glanced at her watch before locking eyes with Lucius. “Thanks for the water. We should go get our new textbooks now. I’m leaving. See you later.”

After speaking, she impatiently stood up, eager to leave the place. Staying any longer would be too much for her to handle.
