Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1302: Whoever Wins Gets Willow Crawford
Is his chest made of iron?
Willow Crawford raised her small hand to rub her forehead.
But Miles Linden’s large hand reached out first, gently rubbing her reddened forehead from the collision. "How could you be so clumsy, even managing to bump into someone while walking?"
"..." Why does he keep calling her clumsy? She’s definitely a top student!
Willow’s almond-shaped eyes widened, her bright eyes glaring at him fiercely.
Seeing her wanting to pounce like an adorable but fierce kitten, Miles Linden smiled.
Why is he smiling?
His smile... is really good-looking.
In Willow Crawford’s memory, he was always aloof and indifferent, rarely smiling. Now, with his bright smile gleaming in his beautiful eyes, the handsome boy standing in the wind became the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen.
Thump, thump, thump.
Willow’s heart suddenly sped up, seemingly beyond her control.
Last night, Vivi Xavier warned her not to take the fake romance too seriously, as dating Miles Linden was like playing with fire, a dangerous game that might end up burning oneself. Now, Willow Crawford completely agreed.
Willow quickly stepped back, avoiding his hand. "Don’t change the subject; you haven’t answered my question yet."
"Think whatever you want." Miles Linden casually replied and walked away.
What does he mean by ’think whatever you want’? Willow chased after him, "Miles Linden, you have to clarify things with me..."
...
This year’s coding competition is of great importance, and each prestigious school only has one spot. On the day of the competition, the city radio station will follow up with reports. So, when they found out that Principal Young had given the only spot from their school to Miles Linden, everyone was outraged.
In the classroom, "Ding," Miles Linden’s phone sounded. There was a text.
Miles Linden opened it; the ID shown was Serrano Hi, Xboy. I heard you’re participating in some coding competition. Is there some mistake? That’s like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken, isn’t it?
Miles did not reply.
A text came again: Well, as long as you’re happy, do as you like. But Xboy, we’ll give you a big surprise at the coding competition.
Seeing the word "surprise," Miles Linden’s sword-like brow furrowed slightly.
At that moment, a commotion was heard outside the classroom, and Freddy led a group of classmates rushing in. "Miles Linden, why did the principal give the only spot to you? You’re just a slacker who sleeps during class and comes from nowhere. Why should you get it? We protest!"
"Yes, we protest! We’re against it!"
"When other schools heard that our competitor was you, they were all shocked."
"Based on grades, based on math, Senior Freddy is the best at our school. This spot should go to Senior Freddy!"
Seeing so many people barging in, Willow Crawford quickly moved to Miles Linden’s side, furrowing her brows at Freddy. "Senior Freddy, the decision about the spot was made solely by the principal. If you have any questions, please turn left; the principal’s office is over there."
Freddy already knew about Willow and Miles’s secret romance. Willow gave up on him and chose Miles Linden, which made him very furious. Now he had to compete with Miles Linden, so Willow could see who was truly the best.
"Miles Linden, in two days it’s our school’s first assessment test. Do you dare to compete against me for grades in this test? Whoever gets first will get the spot!" Freddy confidently declared.
"Right, Senior Freddy is correct; whoever scores first will get the spot!" everyone quickly agreed.
Willow knew Freddy’s strength. Freddy was excellent academically, always the first in school exams, with a knack for math. Plus, he had a good upbringing, played basketball well, and was sunny and handsome, so he had a lot of supporters.
In this gamble, Freddy was sure to win.
Even though Willow believed Miles Linden must be hiding something from her, she didn’t think Miles had the ability to compete with Freddy, so she hesitated and looked at Miles Linden, "Miles, what do you think?"
Miles Linden didn’t say anything, his expression indifferent, showing no interest in Freddy or the gambling matter.
Then Freddy leaned close to Miles Linden and lowered his voice, "Miles Linden, do you dare accept the challenge? This exam’s wager is Willow Crawford!"
Miles’s brow twitched.
"Whoever wins gets Willow Crawford; how about that?" Freddy vowed, knowing he would definitely win and claim Willow, thinking Miles was unworthy.
Miles didn’t care about these people or this matter, but when it involved "Willow Crawford," if anyone dared to target his person, he’d have to act.
"Fine." Miles nodded.
Freddy feared Miles would go back on his word, so he confirmed it immediately, "Then it’s settled. In two days, we’ll meet in the exam hall!" Freddy left with his group triumphantly.
Willow worriedly looked at Miles Linden, "Miles, are you really going to compete with Freddy? Freddy is very strong. Even if you start studying hard now, the chances of winning are very small."
Actually, Willow felt that with Miles Linden’s attitude, he shouldn’t have agreed to Freddy’s challenge, so she was quite surprised.
Miles raised his eyebrows, a bit of amusement in his phoenix eyes, "Freddy said the wager is you. Whoever wins, you belong to them."
"..."
Willow was instantly furious. Freddy treated her as a wager without asking her opinion. Is she a diamond to be moved wherever there’s demand?
It’s so disrespectful!
"Outrageous, I’m going to find him now!" Willow wanted to confront Freddy.
"Willow!" Miles Linden grabbed her slender wrist.
Willow stopped, looking at him, "What’s wrong?"
Miles Linden, "Are you afraid I’ll lose?"
Willow was stunned.
Miles lifted his hand and gently rubbed her black hair, "Don’t worry, I won’t lose you to anyone."
...
As school ended, Willow’s ears still echoed with Miles Linden’s words of reassurance that he wouldn’t lose her to anyone.
These words were like a spell, constantly replaying, making Willow secretly curl her rosy lips.
"Willow! What are you giggling about all by yourself?" Suddenly, Vivi Xavier appeared.
Willow was startled, feeling caught in the act, "No, I wasn’t smiling. You’ve mistaken, Vivi, why did you come to my classroom looking for me?"
Vivi waved mysteriously, "Willow! I have something interesting for you to see."
Vivi then took out a magazine from her bag, turned to the last page, and pointed at a few illustrations, "Willow, what do you think this uncle and beautiful lady are doing? Their postures are so strange; are they practicing some supreme martial arts?"
Willow glanced, and after a few seconds, her pretty little face flushed red.
"Vivi, where did this book come from?"
"Someone handing out flyers on the street gave it to me. Willow, what are they doing?"
