From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 1624: 704 Seeking Unattainable (Ending Part 14) Chapter 1624: 704 Seeking Unattainable (Ending Part 14) “What are you doing?”

“I just wanted to hold you for a bit.

Can I?”

Aubree Groove remained silent, her hands wrapped around his waist.

Early in the morning at the south gate, some passing students noticed Anton Cook and Aubree Groove together.

At first, they excitedly took pictures, but as time passed, it became a familiar sight.

Still, the affection between these two seemed extraordinary.

A girl posted a photo on Twitter, with the caption: “Another day of being force-fed such sweetness.”

Aubree Groove pushed Anton away, quietly looking up at him.

Suddenly, she tiptoed, and gave him a light kiss on his lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

...

Then, she turned away and ran off quickly.

Anton Cook stood rooted on the spot, only managing to touch his lips much later.

“Aubree… she kissed me first.”

The expression on his face was even more ecstatic than when he procured his much-coveted music award.

And just like that, Anton Cook blissfully returned to the recording studio.

He was absent-minded throughout the day’s work.

Keanu Ledger teased him, suggesting that being in love was affecting his career, and that he might as well retire to become a househusband.

A dull “thump” sounded out, and Keanu Ledger turned around, startled by the sight before him.

“Sullivan, are you okay?”

Anton Cook was clutching his arm, wearing a grim expression.

It seemed a sharp edge of a cymbal had accidentally cut his arm.

“How could you be so careless?

I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”

Clutching his arm, a trickle of blood seeping out, Anton Cook did not feel any pain; instead, his heart was racing uncontrollably.

For some reason, he was reminded of Aubree’s bloodstained skirt he had seen once and used powder puff on her makeup table.

He suddenly stood up and dashed out without a care.

Keanu Ledger could not catch up and was left panting, “We have a producer meeting this afternoon.

It’s not good to be constantly ditching him.”

He could no longer handle this celebrity.

Aubree Groove attended a philosophy class in the morning and discussed the meaning of life with her professor.

At noon, she went to the Cafeteria with her friends for lunch and received a call from Peter Aria.

“I’ll end work early today to celebrate your birthday with you, tell me what you want to eat,”

“Thank you, Dad, Mom’s calling me, I need to go.”

“Honey, what are you eating?” Nikita Parker had gone to a neighboring province to take photos for a magazine, and was now on her way to the airport.

“Stir-fried noodles.”

“Are you with your friends?”

“Yes.”

“I have a 3 P.M.

flight and should be home by five.

There are lots of beautiful handicrafts here in Little Town, so I chose some that you might like.

But remember, this is only a souvenir, not your birthday gift.

I’ve already prepared your actual birthday gift in advance.”

Aubree smiled as she lowered her eyes, “Okay, take care on your way back.”

“Sweetie, Mom loves you.”

After hanging up the phone, a female student across from her marveled, “Aubree, your parents really love you.

They call you every day, and your boyfriend picks you up from school without fail.

He loves you so much, I’m so jealous.”

The girl’s eyes held not jealousy, but pure admiration.

The gap between the two was far too wide for the girl to harbor any envy.

The young lady’s eyes seemed veiled in mist, giving them a dreamy wistfulness.

For a moment, the girl was captivated by the sight.

“I’ve finished eating, I’ll go first.” Aubree got up from her seat and left with her tray.

In the afternoon, Aubree spent her time in the lab.

At 4 o’clock, a female student stood at the lab’s entrance, “Aubree, someone is looking for you outside.”

Aubree’s eyelashes quivered slightly.

She calmly put down her tools, put on her coat, and went out.

“Ms.

Groove, I am the head of the Rinto Pharmaceutical Group.

There is a lot we would like to discuss with you regarding the clinical trials of our new drug.

Would it be convenient for you now?”

Aubree glanced at him with a placid gaze.

For some reason, the man’s heart skipped a beat, as though he had been scrutinized.

“Let’s go.”

The man watched Aubree’s retreating figure, his pulse steadying, a venomous glint in his eyes.

It took a long time for him to grab his opportunity.

With her boyfriend picking her up every day, he never got the chance to approach her.

He needed to create one himself, and managed to lure her out of the school.

Both of them walked out of the campus.

A van was parked by the roadside.

Suddenly, the van’s door opened, and a sturdy man jumped out.

Behind him, the man flashed a sinister smile.

But unexpectedly, Aubree didn’t even say a word and directly got into the van.

This left the man with a bitter taste in his mouth, as all his prepared harsh words were left unspoken.

Bowing his head, he sent a message to Tristan Wood: “Manager Wood, she’s in the vehicle.”
