Chapter 284
Nicole trudged toward the learning and teaching building. It was still early, so she was not in a rush.
When she arrived, she saw someone who was not supposed to be there.
“What’re you doing here?” Zeke had been waiting for her downstairs for a long time. His eyes were filled with resentment when he saw her approaching him. “Didn’t you tell me to wait for you at Royal Creek Institute every day at 4am once you get back?
His words reminded Nicole of her promise to Zeke previously. She had promised to help him improve his physique, but it slipped her mind because Mr. Riddle Sr. had been sick for the past few days. Nicole had an apologetic look in her eyes when she thought of this. “I’m sorry. Something came up recently.” Zeke knew she was not the type to stand someone up for no reason, so he did not pursue the matter after hearing her response. He stared at Nicole’s sincere expression and pouted, “I figured something must’ve come up for you. Whatever. I forgive you.”
Nicole watched as Zeke pretended to act mature with his baby face. She thought he looked funny, but she did not say it aloud. She then said indifferently, “We still have time today. Let’s
go.”
Zeke’s eyes lit up. He knew what she was implying.
“Where to?”
Zeke felt completely helpless. He turned to look at Nicole, silently questioning her if it was too late for him to quit. However, Nicole looked at him with a smile that did not reach her eyes. That look…
With a dejected expression, Zeke turned around and started running again.
‘That is the look of her telling me to dream on!’ he thought.
Nicole stood at Zeke’s starting point with an unreadable expression. She only started frowning when she saw Zeke panting on the second half of his lap.
