Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 552 - 340: Pedro Langley: I’ve Been Hurting All This Time [Part 3]_2
Staying in the study, because he was thinking of Nora Scott, he dared not close his eyes.
However, he waited until late into the morning, and still hadn’t seen Nora Scott come out.
By afternoon, unable to put his mind at ease, he went over to knock on the door. After knocking a few times without a response, he opened the bedroom door with concern.
Who would have thought—
The bedroom was empty, no trace of Nora Scott could be found.
Pedro Langley stood at the doorway, feeling as if everything was just a dream.
The curtains were drawn back, the window opened, the wind blowing and swaying the curtains. The sketch on the easel was gone, but next to it, on the small table, was a tube of ointment for wounds.
The bedroom light was shattered, hit by a marble, and for the next half month, the bedroom light never turned on.
That was his villa, the bedroom on the third floor.
Nora Scott hadn’t gone out through the door.
She jumped out from the balcony.
...
"Five years ago, the light in my bedroom, you broke it, didn’t you?"
It was still night, Pedro Langley was no longer the cautious young man he was five years ago, shamelessly pestering Nora Scott.
Nora Scott shifted him aside, blinked, tilted her head, "... Wasn’t it obvious?"
"You said it was because I bullied the Heavenly Immortal, and got my comeuppance." Pedro Langley said, "I believed it."
"..."
Nora Scott was momentarily speechless.
Five years ago Pedro Langley...
How did he evolve into such an old rogue?
Pedro Langley remembered something, seemingly amused, "When I saw the bedroom empty, calls unanswered, couldn’t find you at the university, I thought you were going to break up with me."
"Were you flustered?"
With his reminder, Nora Scott recalled that incident, lightly laughing while asking.
"Flustered." Pedro Langley sighed, "Young and inexperienced, flustered to death."
"Karma."
"Deliberately torturing me."
"Hmm." Nora Scott frankly admitted, "I was holding a grudge, would not be reconciled without tormenting you."
"Is that the reason you kept me hanging for half a month?"
"... Ah."
Nora Scott didn’t directly disappear.
She attended classes, kept a normal schedule, like an ordinary student, going between the dormitory, university, and cafeteria. When she had spare time, she stayed in the library.
She only had someone inform Pedro Langley that he should come to the university every day, appear in her line of sight, but was not allowed to approach her.
If she didn’t see him one day, it would be over for them.
Back then, Pedro Langley was very obedient, treating Nora Scott’s words as a mandate, daring not to defy.
Every morning at dawn, he waited under her dormitory building, following her like a lovesick fool wherever she went, even pretending to be a student to attend two weeks’ classes with her and spend two weekends in the library.
The amazing thing was—
Although Pedro Langley hadn’t started a business or gained fame at that time, his exceptional appearance and temperament drew attention wherever he went, attracting many girls on campus.
Every day, girls would ask for his contact information.
Nora Scott just watched, not annoyed nor angry, but each glance carried a threat—if he dared to pay them any attention, he’d be doomed.
He certainly didn’t dare.
His heart was already occupied by her alone, especially with her watching, he treated those girls like they were a plague, avoiding even a single word.
Yet, Nora Scott wouldn’t be like him, keeping her distance from other guys—
Nora Scott wouldn’t have physical contact with them, but as classmates, normal interactions were inevitable.
Some classmates would give her answers when teachers woke her up from sleep to answer questions; someone would buy her snacks, which she accepted without hesitation, and naturally, she would share them and buy a bunch of snacks the next day to eat together; during breaks, she would discuss topics of interest or study with others...
Pedro Langley saw this all and could only watch, swallow his jealousy, unable to do anything.
It was sheer torment.
After a good half month, Nora Scott finally spoke to Pedro Langley again.
To be specific—
It was during a PE class.
Due to her major, her classmates were mostly male, and with her beauty and confidence, the boys were always flocking around her... Oh, even boys from other classes.
Every PE class, nearly all the male eyes on the field were fixated on her.
She was dressed in sportswear, with long hair tied in a high ponytail, tall and beautiful, with fair translucent skin. Even while doing nothing, just standing in the sunlight, she looked like a painting.
All the girls paled in comparison to her.
The previous week, the PE teacher had something come up so the class was canceled.
That time was Pedro Langley’s first time seeing Nora Scott attend PE class, and also his first realization—how popular Nora Scott was at the university.
The class was learning basketball, and all the boys eagerly approached, wanting to teach her.
Teaching would inevitably lead to physical contact.
