Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 746

Chapter 746 Side Story: Childhood Sweetheart 6

That year, Alice was 14, and Damian was 21.

As usual, Damian went to pick up Alice after school. Just as he habitually slung his backpack over his shoulder, he suddenly heard whispers coming from a corner.

"He's Damian Lynwood, isn't he? He's so good-looking."

"It's not just his looks. He's also the sole heir of Winthrop Group. His grades are decent too. You don't know how many girls at our school tried to pursue him to be his girlfriend back then."

"Forget those girls back then. Even now, just looking at him makes my heart race."

Damian didn't pay it much attention; after all, in his mind, nothing was more important than picking up Alice.

However, Alice's face suddenly fell. Damian thought she might be feeling unwell, so he bent down, gently cupping her face to check on her. Seeing that she was fine, he sighed in relief.

"I thought you might be ill. If nothing's wrong, I'll take you home first." Damian smiled and started walking with a light step. "Oh, by the way, my mom made your favorite food today!"

Alice managed a faint smile. "Damian, can I skip going to your place for dinner today? I want to go back to my own home."

"Why?"

Alice lowered her head and fidgeted. "I've had dinner at your place seven days in a row. I just want to go home for once."

Damian's face showed a hint of disappointment, but since it was her request, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Then I'll walk you home."

Unexpectedly, Alice shook her head. "No need, Damian. You can go ahead. I'd like to go home by myself."

"Tell me the truth. What have you been through?" Damian was quite perceptive, noticing her unusual mood.

"I'm really fine. Don't overthink it." Alice smiled, shaking her head. Though she was putting on a brave face, Damian could still sense something was off.
