Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After P…

Chapter 658 Let Me Pursue You

Anne asked, “Why are you here?”

She walked out of the hotel. As most of her classmates had families, they left early. Anne was among the last to leave. Seeing that Anne had drunk too much, several male classmates asked where her home was and competed to send her back.

Anne looked at them and said, “What are you doing? When did I become a heartthrob?”

Poking one of the male classmates in the chest, she said, “Or is it because you’re after my money?”

Anne was really quite drunk, but she could still articulate. Glancing at these men, she continued, “Just leave me alone. Nowadays, rich women aren’t fools. No one wants to waste their time on you idiots.”

She was very clear that their flattering behavior was solely because of her money. From Yancey, Anne had deeply learned that people from different social classes would not have a good outcome together. Money wasn’t omnipotent, but without it, no one could do anything. This was especially true for marriage. Most importantly, Anne didn’t want to waste money on men anymore.

Even though she was rich, she didn’t want to spend it on men who didn’t deserve her. If this continued for a long time, that person would take her efforts for granted.

Seeing Anne ruthlessly expose their thoughts, several male classmates awkwardly touched their noses and left one after another. Only one person remained by her side. Anne squinted her eyes and looked at the other person.

The man was about 6.14 feet tall. Even though Anne wasn’t short, standing beside him, she felt small.

“Why haven’t you left yet? Didn’t you hear what I just said? Or are you even thicker-skinned than them?” Anne raised her head and smiled at the man.

Without responding to that, he grabbed Anne’s wrist, saying, “Call a designated driver to take your car back. I’ll take you home.”

Anne swung her arm and said, “Who are you? Why are you making decisions for me?”

His car had already been driven to the outside of the hotel by the driver. Anne looked over and saw that it was a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz. It seemed that this person was doing well and at least wasn’t short of money. She was shocked to find that he even had a driver.

For now, Anne was really quite drunk with a dazed mind, and many words came out without thinking. Seeing that Anne had swung her arm away, he wasn’t angry but instead bent down and looked her in the eyes.

“My name is Max Blunt, your old deskmate. You copied so many of my assignments back then and now don’t even recognize me?” he said.

Anne thought hazily for a few seconds and finally recalled a deskmate with the last name Blunt who transferred schools, seemingly because his family’s business had moved to the south. And indeed, she did copy quite a bit of his homework. One time, she even forgot to change the name on her assignment and caused a big laugh. At that time, the teacher said angrily in front of the whole class, “Anne, is your name also Max?”

Anne blinked her eyes and finally felt a bit more awake at this moment. Throughout the entire night, she had been in a daze, thinking about Bella one moment and then distracted by those male classmates who were flirting with her the next, so she couldn’t concentrate at all, and as a result, she didn’t even notice Max. He was very low-key tonight and seemed to have not actively spoken to her at all. Suddenly, he appeared when she was about to go home.

“Max? Didn’t your family move to the south for development? Why did you come to this classmate’s party?” she asked curiously.

“I’m here on a business trip.” Max walked to the car and opened the back door. The streetlight illuminated his handsome face. He said, “It’s too cold. Do you want to get in the car so that we can talk on the way?”

Anne noticed that his license plate was from Havenbrook. This proved that he was really here on a business trip. She pondered for a few seconds and was just about to nod when suddenly she was hit by a cold wind and sneezed.

However, just then, a coat was draped over her shoulders. Dante arrived. The cold wind blew his shirt. He put his hand on Anne’s shoulder, “It’s no trouble for Mr. Blunt to send her home.”

As their eyes met, Anne felt that the atmosphere between these two men seemed a bit weird.

Dante looked at Max and said, “It’s better for me to send my woman home myself.”

Max just glanced at him coldly and then looked at Anne. In fact, Dante’s appearance stunned Anne.

Max said somewhat dejectedly, “Since you have something else to do, let’s make it another time, Anne.”

After speaking, he got into the Mercedes. His driver quickly took him away.

Only then did Anne realize afterward that Dante had just referred to her as “my woman.”

She slapped his hand away from her shoulder and said coldly, “Dante, since we’re already divorced, can you please not appear in front of me? I’m not your woman. Please have some self-respect!”

He said, “Shameless? Weren’t you my woman once?”

“Once? Once I was even your simp, but now everything changed,” she said.

Anne’s face was flushed due to the alcohol, and she wouldn’t stop ridiculing him. Dante looked at her like this and found her very noisy, so he directly picked her up over his shoulder.

“What are you doing?” Anne was startled in an instant.

“Anne, I’m taking you home,” Dante said as he walked.

She said, “Put me down.”

At this moment, Dante held her legs, and Anne’s abdomen was pressed against his shoulder. This position made her stomach, which was full of alcohol, feel very uncomfortable. Anne felt like she was going to throw up.

“No,” he said.

Dante briefly rejected her and carried Anne towards his car.

“Well, don’t regret it later.”

His coat was draped over Anne’s shoulders. Dante only had a white shirt. And then, she threw up on his white shirt.

Dante’s face soured in an instant. He had a very serious case of cleanliness, and Anne throwing up on him was almost like killing him. If this had happened in the past, Dante would definitely fly into a rage.

Now, he threw her onto the back seat and stared at her. Anne knew that she had just touched his major taboo and was already prepared to face Dante’s anger. However, Dante just took a deep breath and slowly pulled out two tissues from the car’s center console to wipe his shirt. Then, he casually got into the car as if nothing had happened.

As the car was driving smoothly on the road, Anne blinked her eyes in disbelief, wondering how Dante had changed so much all of a sudden. He seemed to be a bit gentler to her than before.

“What trick are you pulling?” Anne asked.

“Can’t you see?” Dante turned his head and stared into Anne’s eyes, saying, “I’m pursuing you.”
