No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1946: Hayes Edwards Extra (103)

But actually, I always cared, never once disliked you.

He reached out, gently rubbed her head over the hat, feeling a sense of relief after finally telling the truth. He smiled and said, "I’m sorry, I should have told you earlier."

Grace Winter stood obediently as he rubbed her head, "It’s okay, Hayes Edwards."

The airport announcement sounded, and the seated passengers hurriedly stood up.

Grace Winter supported the handle of her luggage and waved, "Hayes Edwards, I’m leaving now."

She took two steps forward, looked back, and saw Hayes Edwards still standing there watching her. She waved again and said, "Bye-bye."

Hayes Edwards nodded and fixed his gaze on her departing figure.

Everything in front of him seemed somewhat unreal, only her silhouette was real.

"Grace Winter."

A clear, youthful voice suddenly called from behind.

The voice wasn’t loud, but in the noisy airport hall, it distinctly reached Grace Winter’s ears.

She sniffed and turned around with a smile, "What’s up?"

There was a distance between them, so Hayes Edwards couldn’t see her red eyes, he just had something he wanted to tell her.

He said, "Grace Winter, I will wait for you to come back. Don’t let me wait too long, okay?"

She smiled, her eyes still glistening with tears, "Okay."

Five years ago was youth, now is also youth. At twenty, she was fortunate to wait for the person from when she was fifteen.

Grace Winter went abroad to continue her studies.

Unlike before, she now talked and messaged Hayes Edwards weekly, sharing the ordinary yet interesting little things happening around her.

No matter how busy he was, Hayes Edwards would always reply to her messages, his mouth curling into a smile as he replied.

Harry Huston seeing him like this knew at once it was definitely a message from Grace, their Brother Edwards’s first love from five years ago had arrived.

Before leaving, Grace Winter gave her house key to Hayes Edwards, along with the three goldfish, asking him to take care of them.

When Hayes Edwards returned to school, those goldfish were then taken care of by Mother Edwards.

Believing these were tokens from her son’s sweetheart, Mother Edwards took great care of the six goldfish, occasionally letting them sunbathe and change scenery.

While at school, Hayes Edwards never hid when chatting or calling her.

Quickly, rumors spread that the campus heartthrob Edwards from J University was in love.

After a basketball game just ended, the female audience was still engrossed in the perfect looks of Hayes Edwards when they saw his usually cold demeanor melt into the smile of a lovestruck boy upon taking a call.

Anyone saying he wasn’t in love wouldn’t be believed.

Of course, there were still those who didn’t believe it.

They either discussed it on campus forums or gossiped in private.

"Well, it might not be a romance. I don’t see our campus heartthrob going on dates on weekends."

"It’s just a phone call. Smiling happily means having a girlfriend now?"

"Oh, right, that day our campus heartthrob took a call from his grandma, and she called him her good grandson, so he was overjoyed, alright?"

No matter what, without seeing it firsthand, no one believed it.

The inquisitive among them went to ask Hayes Edwards’s roommates about it.

The roommate stated there was no problem, but they had to dine together. Over the years, they had been treated to quite a few meals thanks to Hayes Edwards. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

A meal was certainly no issue.

Many came to hear the gossip over lunch, and the roommate didn’t hide it, explaining directly.
