Chapter 842

Leo: "You really can't keep taking time off. If you do, you'll waste the registration fee. Making money's tough right now, so please don't waste it. You've been out all afternoon; shouldn't you be heading back? Aren't you supposed to look after your mom? If you don't listen, I'll

come over and bring you to Havenbrook myself."

Anya felt a bit scolded and replied, "Alright then. Let's grab dinner together, and I'll head home."

Only then did Leo feel at ease. "Remember to bring an umbrella. It's supposed to rain at 7."

"But I didn't bring one~"

Leo: "Then I'll get you a cab!"

One way or another, Anya had to go home.

After hanging up, Anya vented to her high school friends in secret, "My Chad insists I go home to study computer science, and he's gonna teach me online tonight. No choice, let's head home after dinner."

Her friends, knowing about her new relationship, teased, "All day, it's Chad this, Chad that. What's this guy even look like? You're so into Mr. Chad."

Anya blurted out, "Chad's amazing. He can fix any computer issue I have. If you've got a problem with your computer, I can ask Chad to help. Plus, he's studying for his master's." She couldn't help but brag about Leo, even offering his help.

Her friend laughed, "Look at you, all proud. Let's see if he gets into grad school first. Don't be fooled; some guys pretend to be something they're not, just to win over a rich girl." Anya frowned, "That's not it. I went after Chad myself. And I'm even staying at his place; his family treats me so well."

"You're too naive and well-off. So many people are after you, trying to win you over."

Anya replied, "But in the Cedillo family, Leo's status is even more sought after than mine."

Her friend was stunned: "Wait, who's Chad??"

"Leo, Uncle Andre, Dad Bruce."

Her friend was floored, "I'm sorry... I was too shallow. Anya, I wish you happiness, and may you and your Chad walk down the aisle soon."

Anya smiled warmly. "Thank you."
