However, Giselle wasn’t offended at all. Instead, she thought of it as a harmless joke.
“Here’s your shirt from last time. I have patched it up for you. Why don’t you try it on?”
Giselle stood up and threw Casper’s collared T-shirt back to him.
“It’s patched very nicely. I’ll be wearing this every day from now onward.”
Casper didn’t put it on at once. Instead, he scrutinized it closely and ran his fingers over where the patch was made. However, he felt that Giselle’s sewing wasn’t as good as his. Nevertheless, he didn’t express his actual thoughts and praised her needlework instead.
In spite of that, his compliment was still very sincere.
“You keep forgetting your manners now.”
Giselle shot a glare at him before pointing to the dishes on the table. “Wash everything up and then go back and get some rest. You’re not allowed to spend the night here.”
Casper was left with no choice given how volatile Giselle’s mood was. He cleared the table and did the dishes just like a dutiful housewife. In a short while, the whole kitchen was spick and span.
After that, Casper returned to his dorm with his badly sewn t-shirt in hand.
Felix was surprised to see Casper.
Looking at Casper intently, Felix teased, “Oh? I thought you weren’t coming back tonight.”
“How is that possible? Do I look that open? Anyway, I’m heading to the library as it has been a while since I’ve been there. Do you want to come along? Should I leave the door unlocked for you tonight?
When I walked past the female dorm just now, I seemed to have seen Wendy with another guy,” Casper remarked with a cheeky smile and a wink.
In truth, he didn’t see Wendy at all. He was just saying it to get on Felix’s nerves.
“Are you serious?”
Springing up from his chair, Felix’s expression drastically changed as he stared at Casper anxiously.
He was well aware that Wendy had many admirers given how pretty she was. Furthermore, there were more girls than boys in the faculty of accounting. Therefore, he had recently suspected that someone was trying to steal Wendy away from him. However, he had failed to discover who the person was. But, now that Casper mentioned it, he naturally got worried.
“What’s wrong? Are you worried that Wendy will be stolen by some other guy? Haven’t you slept with her already? After all, you have already gotten what you wanted,” Casper joked.
“Huh, Casper. I’m being serious. Did you really see Wendy with some other guy?”
Felix frantically grabbed Casper’s shoulders. “This is no joke. Don’t worry. Just tell me if you really saw someone. I’m going to kill whoever that’s trying to steal my girl!”
“Haha, look at how nervous you are. I don’t even know what else to say. After all, I was just pulling your leg.”
Glancing at his shoulders, Casper plainly asked, “Tell me, have you suspected that Wendy has been cheating on you?”
“Hehe, Casper. You have given me the shock of my life.”
Releasing his hands, Felix adamantly denied, “It’s nothing. Nothing at all.”
Given how embarrassing the matter was, Felix didn’t feel like sharing it with Casper.
“Am I not your best friend? If something is going on, tell me. I don’t want to see you looking sullen all the time. Together, we have never been afraid of anyone nor backed away from any problem,” Casper declared after giving Felix an earnest look.
He could see that Felix and Wendy were having problems, and it didn’t seem like a trivial one.
However, if Felix refused to talk about it, he wouldn’t force the issue any further.
“Casper, thank you. But, I can handle it myself,” Felix replied, touched by Casper’s words.
“I believe you will definitely be able to do it.” Casper nodded.
In truth, during their trip to Terragon Hill, Casper had already noticed that something was amiss, despite their jovial interactions on the surface.
As time flew by, Casper looked forward to noon every day. During that time, he would meet up with Amelia under the tree behind the hill. He would specially pack some food from the cafeteria and had lunch with her.
Fortunately, the weather had been wonderful with no rain lately. Hence, he didn’t need to worry about Amelia not showing up due to rain.
Whenever he bought food from the cafeteria, he didn’t pick the most expensive items. Instead, he chose whatever ordinary food was available.
Casper wanted to keep a low profile so that his identity wouldn’t be revealed to Amelia right away. Instead, he preferred to do it gradually so that it would be easier for her to accept it. After all, he didn’t want her to be troubled by the gap in their wealth.
“Casper, why haven’t you been lunching with us recently? Instead, you always disappear at noon. Do you have a new girl now? Who have you been dating? Hmm, it will do you good as long as you can forget about Kitty.”
“Casper, won’t you make Lillian jealous by doing this? it’s obvious to me that she’s interested in you. The day you’re no longer interested in her, please let me know. It would be a good opportunity for me to comfort her.”
“By the way, Casper. When are you free? Shall we go out again with Wendy and her dormmates?”
When they saw Casper about to leave their dorm alone, Remy and Colton, who were playing computer games, teased him. They made it sound like he was the epitome of a heartless person.
Casper felt helpless in the situation. With regards to Lillian, he had no intention of developing a relationship with her. However, fate seemed to have other plans.
Similarly, despite designating Giselle as his future wife, there hardly seemed to be any development on that front. In fact, Giselle didn’t seem to be really interested.
Lastly, he couldn’t bring himself to abandon Amelia. After all, she was as timid as a frightened little rabbit. He was worried that if he let her go off on her own, he might end up causing her early demise instead.
Hence, after reprimanding both Remy and Colton, Casper put on his cap and headed to the cafeteria.
