She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 302: A Dog is a Human’s Most Faithful Friend

The change in Nicholas’ attitude made Reece wonder what had happened.

The following day, Nicholas bragged in class that he had kissed Kate, describing her as sweet and tender, with lips as fragrant and soft as jelly.

To everyone’s surprise, Kate didn’t show up for class that day.

Reece, however, remembered the kiss he had shared with Kate on the sofa. Just like what Nicholas said, it had been sweet and had a texture even better than jelly.

Why? Why would she kiss Nicholas? Did Kate actually like that scumbag?

Fueled by anger, Reece once again ran to the Zamora Villa and positioned himself beneath Kate’s window. Her room’s balcony was adorned with succulents, making it easy to identify.

Reece, like a fool, loudly questioned her from below, asking why she had kissed another guy. Onlookers from the neighborhood gathered around. Sensing a chilling and disapproving gaze behind him, Reece turned around to find Eddie, who had returned from school.

Eddie was dressed in a white hoodie with black suit pants, and his chestnut short hair shone like gold in the sunlight. His fair and warm face carried a faint, enigmatic smile. He elegantly closed the long- handled umbrella he was carrying, meticulously straightening out the folds on top.

Reece, unconsciously, covered his chest with his hand. He had two broken ribs, and the doctor had advised him to rest in bed. Still, he had insisted on coming to school. His father was so moved, thinking he was dedicated to his studies.

In reality, Reece had come to school only to seek Cheyenne’s help in dealing with Nicholas and his gang, intending to enjoy some drama. However, as soon as he arrived, he discovered that Kate hadn’t shown up for class.
