Chapter 330 Humble

Nancy cowered behind Ethan, not even peeking out.

Alexander scoffed at her, then turned to Ethan and

taunted, “Your taste in women is really off.”

“Says you,” Ethan shot back right away.

Alexander just smirked and retorted, “Really?”

Ethan ignored him, not wanting to waste his breath.

Seeing no response, Alexander said, “For real, don’t end up regretting this.”

Ethan looked up at him and said firmly, “Mr. Lessing, don’t worry. That’ll never happen.”

In Ethan’s eyes, there was no reason to be sad about losing Emily.

Even though she was Sophia’s birth mom, Sophia liked Nancy better.

As for feelings, Ethan had never had any for Emily. 13:17

So, he was dead–set on not regretting it.

Despite his confidence, there was a tiny pang in his heart.

But he convinced himself it wasn’t because he cared.

Just then, the door of the private room behind Nancy

swung open.

Out walked Emily, Aaron, and Oliver.

The moment Emily appeared, Alexander rushed over and asked, “Are you okay?”

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Emily nodded and said, “Yeah, I’m good.”

Alexander then asked, “Can we head back now?”

Emily replied, “Professor Jones invited me and Aaron for a little get–together. You go back first.”

Hearing this, Alexander frowned and said, “Then I’ll come with you.”

Noticing this, Oliver stepped in, “Mr. Lessing, this is a 3:17

thing for me and my students. You tagging along might

off.”

Alexander almost snapped back, but he held his tongue.

He remembered Emily would be Oliver’s student soon.

To not cause her trouble, he changed his tune. “You’re right. Not the best idea for me to go.”

Then he looked at Emily and said, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Seeing his stubbornness, Emily said coldly, “Alexander, seriously, you don’t have to wait. I can go home on my own.”

Alexander pretended not to hear, “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you patiently in the car.”

Everyone there saw Alexander’s submissive act, and each had a different reaction.

Ethan was confused, Nancy was jealous, Emily was puzzled, Aaron was nervous, and Oliver was surprised.

Alexander was known as a playboy, but he’d never been so humble.

Emily.

With his status, he didn’t have to grovel to anyone, not even Ethan.

It took everyone by surprise.

It was Oliver who came to his senses first and said to Emily and Aaron, “Let’s go. Ignore the distractions.”

Emily simply said, “Alright.”

Aaron echoed, “Sure.”

Then, Oliver let Emily and Aaron lead the way while he followed.

The three left the hall smoothly.

Ethan didn’t stop Emily. Though a bit uncomfortable, he kept quiet.

As Emily’s figure disappeared, a brief look of unease flashed across Ethan’s face.

49st in thought, Nancy finally regained her senses. She:17

raised a hand to gently nudge Ethan’s arm and murmured

Pulled from his own reverie, Ethan simply grunted an assent, “Yeah.”

And with that, they started making their way out of the diner.

As they passed Alexander, Nancy craned her neck to steal a look at him.

Alexander felt her eyes on him, yet he kept his gaze fixed anywhere but on her.

This snub made Nancy furrow her brows in puzzlement.

Not long ago, they had been on good terms.

He’d even propositioned her with a late–night invite.

On the other side of town, Oliver led Emily and Aaron into a cozy barbecue joint.

After ordering, the conversation turned to medicine.

They delved into topics like research papers, groundbreaking projects, complex surgeries, and those pesky rare diseases that kept medical minds sleepless, at 17

throw a question Emily’s way. And every time, she answered with such confidence that it was clear she had a solid grasp of medical theory.

However, as impressive as her knowledge was, she’d yet to get her hands dirty in real–world medical scenarios.

Oliver couldn’t help but shower her with praise. “Give it some time, and you’ll be as amazing as Aaron.”

Emily, ever the modest one, quickly replied; “I’ll work harder, Professor.”

This modesty only endeared her more to Oliver.

Emily was not like Nancy, who seemed hell–bent on advanced degrees without much real talent to back it up.

But then, Oliver noticed Aaron seemed distracted.

Sensing there was something on his mind, Oliver let out a little laugh and ribbed, “She’s right here. What are you daydreaming about?”

Aaron fell silent for a moment, then finally swiveled his head to look at Emily.

Oliver’s eyes flitted back and forth between the two, then he decided to play cupid. “So, Emily, what do you think of Aaron?”

Emily lifted her eyes to meet Oliver’s. After a beat, she said, “Aaron’s really top–notch.”

Oliver chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eye, saying, “If he’s that good, you’d better make a move before someone else does!”

Emily knew exactly what Oliver was hinting at. A bit awkwardly, she started, “Professor Jones, actually…”

But before she could blurt out that she was married, Aaron jumped in. “Professor Jones, it’s getting late. I’ll take Emily home. Next time, I’ll treat you to another night out.”
