No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1880 Hayes Edwards Extra (37)

At this time, the school gate is still bustling.

Hayes Edwards really forgot about Grace Winter. After school, his classmates chatted with him for a while, and then they walked down the stairs together. It was only when he was about to reach the school gate that he remembered Grace Winter.

"She wouldn’t be silly enough to wait in the classroom all this time, would she?"

With this thought in mind, Hayes Edwards initially planned to just leave her be.

But...

"Are you stupid? If I don’t come find you, can’t you come out on your own?"

Hayes Edwards ran all the way over, still slightly out of breath.

"I..." Grace Winter looked at him. The little bit of grievance she felt suddenly magnified, her eyes reddened, and tears flowed instantly.

Hayes Edwards irritably grabbed his hair, "Don’t cry!"

Grace Winter sniffled a couple of times, her voice tinged with sobs, "But I can’t help it."

"Even if you can’t help it, you have to!" Hayes Edwards deliberately scolded her, "If you dare cry, I won’t talk to you anymore!"

Grace Winter felt even more aggrieved, but she tried hard to hold back her tears, "Then I won’t cry, don’t ignore me."

She reached out and gently grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Hayes Edwards was about to shake her off, but seeing her red eyes, he held back, "Alright, let’s go."

On the way home, Hayes Edwards was quite worried Grace Winter might talk about this incident. If his mom found out he left Grace Winter in the classroom, he’d probably get yet another scolding.

But thankfully... Grace Winter didn’t mention it.

"Because I don’t want Hayes Edwards to get spanked," Grace Winter said.

Hayes Edwards: "..."

So she knows if he bullies her, he’ll get scolded?

"Grace isn’t stupid," Grace Winter said while playing with the blocks in her hand, "I know a lot, and I know Hayes Edwards will get spanked if he makes a mistake."

Hayes Edwards had a blank expression, "Don’t bring up the spanking thing anymore."

That’s the "downside" of childhood friends, knowing each other’s embarrassing stories.

Walking to the room door, Hayes Edwards thought of something and came back, speaking fiercely to Grace Winter, "If you dare tell anyone about the spanking, I’ll..."

He suddenly couldn’t think of anything.

Grace Winter seemed scared and covered her mouth, but her eyes were wide open, "Don’t hit me."

"Who said I was going to hit you?" Hayes Edwards said, "Can’t be bothered to explain to you, just don’t tell anyone about it." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Okay." Grace Winter looked at him, nodded obediently, her voice small, "Is this our secret then?"

Hayes Edwards impatiently, "I guess so."

Grace Winter seemed to find something amusing, "Then I promise I won’t tell anyone about you getting spanked."

Hayes Edwards: "... I said stop bringing it up."

See, this is why he dislikes Grace Winter!

"Hayes Edwards, do you dislike Grace?" This question came from Chubby, who was holding a lollipop that Grace Winter had just given him.

Hayes Edwards answered in his heart, but didn’t say anything out loud.

Chubby continued, "Why don’t you let Grace watch your game?"

On the last day of the fun sports competition, Hayes Edwards still had two events.

Before the competition started, Hayes Edwards was doing some light warm-up exercises, "Her presence distracts me."

Chubby didn’t really understand how Grace watching would affect Hayes Edwards’ performance, so he couldn’t figure it out and decided not to think about it anymore. He ran off to find Grace Winter to play.

Because Hayes Edwards didn’t let Grace Winter watch the competition, she found a place with her classmates to snack together.

The seats outside the small shop were taken, so they sat on the steps to the side.
