“Last night, I had planned to give you some money as a way to repay you for saving me. I didn’t know how else to express my gratitude, and I thought as a student, you might need the money.”
“But I didn’t expect that you had already left, so today I came to Porthampton University to find out about you. I didn’t expect you to be quite well-known here. I quickly found the class you’re in…”
Nicole explained to Connor in a soft voice.
“So, that’s how it is…”
After hearing her words, he nodded lightly and continued to ask, looking at Nicole, “So, what brings you here to find me? Are you planning to give me money again?”
“No, since you don’t want my money, it means you don’t need it. So, I came today to invite you for a meal to express my gratitude…”
Nicole hurriedly said to Connor.
“Well…”
After hearing her words, his eyes flickered with a hint of hesitation.
“If you refuse to even have a meal with me, I will feel very guilty…” she continued speaking when she saw his silence.
“Fine then!”
Connor reluctantly agreed.
“Do you have time today?”
She asked him in a soft voice after he agreed.
He felt that if he didn’t go eat with her, she would continue to pester him.
So he reluctantly said, “I have time now, and I’m a bit hungry. Shall we go eat now?”
“Don’t you have class?”
Nicole blinked her foxy eyes and asked, puzzled.
“No, it doesn’t matter if I miss that class. Besides, since you’ve already come here, I can’t make you wait here. Let’s go eat first…”
He thought for a moment and said softly.
“Alright then, my car is parked by the roadside…”
Nicole nodded, then walked towards the roadside.
And he followed behind her.
After getting in the car, she drove with Connor to a famous Western restaurant in Porthampton.
“You’ve probably never been to a place like this for a meal, right?”
Nicole turned her head and asked Connor with a smile.
“No…”
Connor shook his head directly.
“Do you like eating Western food?” she continued asking him.
“I can eat anything…” he replied directly.
“Okay, let’s eat here then. I really like the food here…”
Nicole nodded and then pushed open the car door, walking towards the restaurant with her slender and fair legs.
After hesitating for a moment, he also walked into the restaurant following her.
Once inside the restaurant, Connor found that the environment was quite nice.
And since it was still early, there weren’t many customers.
But from the way these guests were dressed, Connor could tell that their families must be well-off.
“Having a meal here must cost quite a bit, right?” he asked Nicole softly.
“For you, it might be a lot, but for me, it’s nothing!” Nicole’s family was very wealthy, so when she spoke, she would intentionally or unintentionally reveal some information to him.
He knew that she didn’t need to show off anything to someone like him. After all, they had only known each other for a short time. It was probably a character trait she had developed since childhood, so he didn’t mind.
After entering the restaurant, she took out a membership card and handed it to the waiter.
Upon seeing the membership card, the waiter’s attitude instantly changed. Hurriedly, they led Nicole and Connor to a window-side elegant seat.
She gracefully sat down, placing her handbag on the table, while he chose to sit opposite her.
“This seat is reserved for me. I pay millions of membership fees to this restaurant every year, so no matter when, this seat is mine. I’ll have the restaurant staff arrange a membership card for you later. That way, if you want to treat someone to a meal, you can come here…” Nicole paused for a moment, then glanced at Connor and said with a smile, “If you bring those little girls from your school here, I think the chances of confessing your feelings would be much higher…”
“No need. The food in this restaurant is too expensive, I can’t afford it…” He declined with a smile.
“It’s alright. You can charge all your expenses here to my account in the future…” Nicole was expressing her gratitude to Connor, so she tried her best to thank him with various things.
“That’s not necessary…” He shook his head again and refused, “I don’t want anything…”
At this moment, she had no idea about his identity, and this amount of money was nothing to him.
And he had no intention of telling her about his identity.
When Nicole saw Connor rejecting her again, her expression seemed somewhat helpless.
She couldn’t help but sigh and said softly, “You’re really strange. I offer you money, but you don’t want it. I offer you a membership card for here, but you don’t want it either. So what do you want?”
“I don’t want anything…” Connor replied helplessly, then continued, “Yesterday evening, I just happened to help you. Any normal person would have intervened in that situation. So you don’t have to think about how to thank me…”
“That won’t do. If it weren’t for you, I might have been raped a long time ago. How can I not thank you?” she quickly said after hearing his words.
Connor looked at Nicole and didn’t know what to say. He simply said lightly, “Let’s order first!”
“Okay…” She pushed the menu in front of him and said softly, “You order…”
“It’s my first time in a place like this, and I don’t know what’s good. Why don’t you order?” Connor replied softly.
Nicole hesitated for a moment, then directly picked up the menu and started ordering without being polite.
A few minutes later, the waiter began serving the dishes.
Nicole looked at Connor up and down, then asked him, “Connor, do you have a girlfriend?”
Upon hearing her question, he suddenly froze in place, his expression showing extreme confusion.
He couldn’t help but secretly wonder if this woman wanted to offer herself in return since he didn’t want anything.
