Chapter 114

Without explaining anything, he tucked her hair behind her ear and said softly, “When I’m not around, don’t talk to strangers.”

Of course, I had to listen to my husband’s words!

Ophelia immediately nodded obediently, “Oh!”

Her reaction slightly eased Winford’s expression, but he still felt a lingering sense of violence and irritation in his heart that he couldn’t shake off. It was just a trip to the supermarket, yet so many people coveted her. What if it had been at school? In the school, in places where he did not notice, there were so many male peers…

Suppressing the terrifying emotions in his eyes, he tightly held the girl’s hand and led her into the house.

Ophelia did not notice anything unusual; she happily took out the things she had bought and found a place for each of them. Especially those ingredients, which were specifically instructed to the servant not to be touched.

She thought for a moment and realized it was already late. She had classes in the morning and afternoon tomorrow, so she decided to do it tomorrow night. He specifically turned back and said something to Winford.

Chapter 14

“Honey, I made dinner for you tomorrow night!”

Winford suppressed the expression in his eyes and said, “Okay.”

The next day, Ophelia walked into the classroom. The sounds in the classroom paused for a moment, and everyone unconsciously stopped chatting. However, it could be felt that the situation was different from the previous rejection; at that moment, the people faced her with more awkwardness and discomfort. She seemed oblivious and walked straight to the nearest seat.

Before I could sit down, a girl next to me hurriedly stopped me, saying, “Wait! That chair was just spilled with water, and it hasn’t been wiped yet!”

I was aback for a moment, turned around to glance at the other person, who looked familiar but whose name she couldn’t recall. She only remembered that they were classmates, indicating that they didn’t interact much on a regular basis.

She nodded and said, “Thank you.”

The girl blushed with embarrassment and said, “N–No need to thank me!”

Ophelia changed her seat with a shift in her steps. At the beginning of the school year, we were taking only major courses, and we hadn’t chosen any elective courses yet, so the schedule was quite relaxed, with only two classes in the morning.

As soon as class was over, Ophelia picked up her things and prepared to leave, unlike the other girls who huddled together, discussing what they were going to do.

“Ophelia!”

Suddenly, someone called her. Turning back, it was Lucy.

Ophelia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Is something wrong?”

“Nothing much, it’s just that… ahem, the teacher just mentioned that we would be selecting courses today. We were planning to head over to the office building later because the internet speed is faster there. Otherwise, we might not be able to grab some of the popular classes. Do you want to join us?” Lucy said somewhat shyly.

Ophelia was somewhat surprised by the kindness offered by the other party, but still said, “No need, thank you.” She still went back to choose, as the internet speed in the apartment should have been faster than that in the school office building. Moreover, it was preferable to choose elective courses in the afternoon and evening; if she chose morning classes, there were times when she might not be able to get up….

Thinking of Winford’s frequency and stamina, Ophelia couldn’t help but blush, her ears heating up from time to time. Her husband seemed to have a bit of a heavy desire…

Watching her leave, Lucy showed a look of disappointment. Beside her, Hannah suddenly snorted coldly.

“Is it just because I treated you to a meal that you were bought off? Your feelings are really cheap!”

Lucy frowned and said, “Hannah, what are you doing? Since those rumors were false, that means we misunderstood Ophelia…”

“Everything else is fake. Is it also fake that my boyfriend was robbed?!”

In anger, Hannah dropped a remark and, without waiting for anyone else, picked up her things and left.

In the afternoon, Hannah did not come to class. However, Ophelia was not familiar with her and did not notice this. She arrived a little late, and there were no seats available elsewhere, so she could only sit in Stella’s row. Stella sat together with two girls from her class, with one seat between them.

When Ophelia sat down, she happened to hear one of the girls exclaim in surprise, “Oh my gosh, Stella, did you win the lottery? I can’t even bring myself to buy cosmetics from this brand!”

Stella’s humble tone carried a hint of self-satisfaction: “It’s nothing, I just wanted to be a little nicer to myself.”
