She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 248: Confession at Seventeen

Every time she came, she dressed in strange and unusual clothes. Her small face was covered in dirt, making it impossible to see her features except for her bold and bright eyes. Kelvin never paid attention to the gifts she brought, including the letter that was thrown away with the rest of them.

“Big brother, will you marry me when I grow up?” She asked him.

How could a young girl know about marriage? Abbie crumpled up the letter and threw it away along with the origami crane that was given as a gift. She had confidence that she wouldn’t lose to a ten-year-old girl.

But then Kelvin showed kindness by using his handkerchief to wipe away the little girl’s nosebleed. Abbie became jealous of his tenderness towards someone else and called on some school bullies outside to teach her a lesson so that she couldn’t climb through dog holes anymore.

The little girl didn’t come back for over a month after breaking her leg and being hospitalized for more than thirty days. It was also during this last month before their college entrance exams.

Kelvin graduated without ever receiving the gift promised by the little girl but he didn’t think much of it since he assumed that she had found new interests. After all, how much determination could an elementary school student have?

Although he claimed not to care about it too much, before leaving school, he sent someone out to inquire about where this little girl went.

Others had told him that the young girl, because of her poor grades and frequent troublemaking, had broken her leg and been hospitalized a month ago. Upon recovering, her family had arranged her transfer to a school in Yrose.

Meanwhile, Kelvin, with his outstanding grades that ranked him as the top student, had received invitations from prestigious foreign universities. He pursued his higher education abroad, earning dual doctoral degrees in economics and law over four years.
