Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

This girl…

“There are no girls that you like?” Blanca pretended to ask inadvertently and kept staring at him.

He was in his twenties. He definitely had a crush on someone.

“No.”

“Really?” Blanca leaned toward him curiously, “How is that possible? You are in your twenties. There must have been someone you like when you were a student, right?”

“Why do you think it’s impossible?” Matthew chuckled with joy.

He didn’t know why he found it intriguing to see her so careful and curious.

The car was still going steadily but Matthew slowed it down.

He enjoyed his time with her.

“It is impossible… We are not saints. Back in school, there were always some kids who got good looks and good grades and had a great personality. Everyone was so young and dumb and would always have a crush…”

“Oh? So, you had a crush on someone?”

“Yeah, there was a boy that I liked in middle school. He was a straight A student and was very tall for that age. He was about 5 foot 6 at that time. He was the top student and was very nice. The happiest time every day for me was when he came to collect my homework,” Blanca said with passion.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Back in school, she was a little bit dim and didn’t get good grades, unlike that boy. That boy was born smart. He could instantly memorize everything that the teachers taught them and he always got straight As. A lot of girls liked him in school.

And of course Blanca wasn’t surprised about that.

She started to be a little nostalgic but Matthew was getting jealous and stopped smiling.

Straight As?

He was also a straight A student back in school!

“Oh, why are we talking about me? Let’s talk about you. Were there any girls you liked? You really never fell in love with any girls?” Blanca kept gossiping but her heart was racing fast.

A nice and rich guy like Matthew would have a lot of followers.

She was kind of bitter about this. She looked into his eyes but he didn’t change his expression.

“No,” Matthew said.

“Hmm, if you don’t wanna talk about it, then fine,” Blanca said. She turned away and stared outside the window. It was nice and warm at 8 o’clock in the morning. She was in a pretty good mood but that didn’t stop her heart from pounding so loud.

She started to feel like she began to care more about Matthew.

Last night, she was unhappy and jealous at the thought of Matthew lying to her and taking Malinda’s side. That was why she got mad at him.

They arrived at school and Blanca didn’t want to be recognized. She asked Matthew to pull over 100 yards from the school gate. She said goodbye and wanted to get off the car. But then Matthew rolled down the window and said, “Wait.”

“Anything else?” Blanca tilted her head and held on to her purse.

Matthew took a closer look of her and wasn’t very pleasant about her outfits. But he didn’t comment about it and asked, “Do you still have a crush on that boy?”

“Huh?”

Blanca paused for a second before she knew what he meant. She laughed and said, “How is that even possible? If I still like him, why would I become Todd’s girlfriend?”

She mentioned Todd unconsciously but Matthew was getting upset.

She swallowed for a bit and said, “Go to work. I gotta go.”

After that, she ran into the school.

Seeing her so cheerful and youthful, Matthew started the car and left.
