Just as Hannah Sue was talking about Chloe Swift, Chloe Swift came over from the direction of the stairs.

She was looking around as if searching for Bryce Sue, but she immediately spotted Hannah Sue.

Upon seeing Hannah Sue, Chloe Swift smiled and walked over to her.

"Hi, sis-in-law." Hannah stood up and greeted her sweetly.

Chloe Swift looked much more cheerful than before; at least, her smile showed that she was genuinely happy now.

She glanced at the boy sitting opposite Hannah and teased with a smile, "When did Hannah get a boyfriend? Didn’t tell me anything."

Hearing Chloe Swift’s question, Hannah instantly became embarrassed, glanced at Evan Sutton, and hurriedly explained, "...not a boyfriend."

Chloe Swift smiled knowingly and said, "What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s not strange to date at your age, but remember the college entrance exam is coming up, don’t let it affect your studies."

"Sis-in-law...he’s really not!"

"Alright, sis-in-law’s been through it all. I can see through your little thoughts written all over your face. You might fool your brother, but not me."

Hannah blushed, completely embarrassed.

Chloe Swift sized up Evan Sutton, smiled with satisfaction, and then patted Hannah on the shoulder, saying, "I won’t disturb you two. If you have any relationship problems, I’m more than happy to help."

Saying this, Chloe Swift looked at Evan Sutton and said in a tone of an elder, "Take good care of our Hannah."

Evan Sutton: "..."

After Chloe Swift left, Hannah Sue kept her head down and didn’t dare to look at Evan Sutton, biting the straw in her cup to hide her embarrassment.

It was Evan Sutton who spoke first, "Focus on preparing for the exam, don’t think about these chaotic things."

Hearing this, Hannah raised her head, was silent for a while, then released the straw and looked at Evan earnestly, saying, "...actually, my sister-in-law wasn’t wrong."

Evan Sutton hesitated for a moment, seeing the normally carefree Hannah suddenly become shy, stammered, "...you must know, right?"

Evan Sutton asked, "Know what?"

Hannah blushing said angrily, "That I like you! Don’t pretend to be dumb!"

Evan Sutton: "..."

Hannah, red-faced, bit her lip and cautiously asked, "Do you like me?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Evan Sutton was momentarily flustered, and cleared his throat to cover, "That’s not something you should be worrying about now."

Hannah Sue: "Don’t treat me like a child! I’m serious about you!"

Evan Sutton: "Your seriousness is misplaced, focus on what’s in front of you."

Having taken the leap, Hannah gathered her courage and asked, "After the exam, will you agree to be my boyfriend?"

Evan Sutton didn’t know how to deal with such a young girl, he pretended to be calm and composed, saying, "We’ll talk after your exam."

Hannah picked up her juice, took a sip, and muttered discontentedly, "Just knew you’d try to fool me. After the exam, I’m going to hang around your house and never leave!"

Evan Sutton didn’t respond anymore, as someone without any experience in love, he really didn’t know what to do with this young girl.

He couldn’t say what his feelings for Hannah were. He didn’t dislike her, but it wasn’t the kind of romantic feeling between a man and a woman.

After all, he always thought that she was just a young girl whose feelings changed every day, so he didn’t take Hannah’s words seriously.

He just hoped she would have a better life and future, rather than letting herself fall like before.

The meal was eaten quietly, both seemed to have their own thoughts.

Hannah didn’t get the response she wanted from Evan Sutton, feeling anxious inside.

She wondered if she had been too hasty and made Evan Sutton uncomfortable?

While Evan Sutton kept going around in circles, clearly not wanting to be with her.

But thinking about it, Evan Sutton comes from a well-off family, with his own ability, the key is he’s also handsome, glowing all over; it’s natural he wouldn’t look at her.

She had to make herself more outstanding to stand beside him.

It’s just that even if she successfully gets into college, it would take four years to graduate, in which unknown changes might occur.

Will she have graduated before Evan Sutton gets together with another woman?

At Evan’s age, he’s already at the stage to consider marriage, his family might even anxiously arrange someone for him...

These countless uncertainties made Hannah feel increasingly uneasy.

Evan Sutton, unaware of what the young girl was thinking, sent Hannah back to school after the meal.

The usually chatty girl remained silent on the way back.

Evan Sutton noticed her odd behavior but didn’t know how to address it.

Standing in front of the school gate, he said to Hannah, "I have a train at three o’clock, I’m leaving soon."

Hannah looked up at him, her whole face and eyes filled with reluctance, but she grumbled, "...oh."

Evan Sutton sighed, reminding, "Study well yourself at school, message me if there are math problems you don’t understand, I’ll explain when I’m free."

Hannah’s hands dropped at her sides, clutching at the hem of her jacket, silent.

Evan Sutton softly asked again, "Did you hear me?"

"Mm."

Seeing Hannah so downcast, Evan Sutton was a bit helpless, ruffled her hair lightly, saying, "Go in, I’m leaving."

Hannah stood still, and when she didn’t go in, Evan couldn’t just leave like that, so he asked worriedly, "What’s wrong?"

Hannah looked up at him with a knitted brow, filled with worry, asked Evan Sutton, "Could you wait for me?"

"Wait for what?" Initially, Evan Sutton thought she wanted to fetch something from school for him.

Then he heard Hannah say, "Wait for me to graduate college so I can marry you, so you won’t date other girls, okay?"

Listening to Hannah, Evan’s heart couldn’t help but flutter a bit.

He knew no one could say for sure what would happen in four years, but he could tell that, at least at this moment, Hannah genuinely thought so.

A girl mustering the courage to propose a lifelong commitment, Evan couldn’t even understand how he’d earned Hannah’s trust for such a promise.

"Okay?" Hannah clutched Evan’s sleeve nervously, seeking confirmation.

Evan wouldn’t offer uncertain promises, he just responded to Hannah, "Focus on your studies first."

"You have to promise me not to secretly find a girlfriend. If you find one, it can only be me!"

Evan Sutton: "I’ll be busy working and tutoring you, where’s the time to find a girlfriend? Now go in."

"No way, you have to say you promise me, regardless of time, you can’t date! I’ll do my best to catch up to you!"

Seeing Hannah’s persistence, Evan couldn’t help but chuckle, nodding, "I promise you. But I definitely don’t like girls who flunk the college entrance exam, so do your best."
