Chapter 20: Along the Way

For Toya, the person closest to her should be Butler, right?

Butler took her home and had dinner with them. He hadn’t been seen since.

He did not even go home last night.

Reyes had known since he was a child that his father was a busy man.

He operated his family’s business independently and suffered a lot because of his stubborn and upright personality.

The reason why his family business was running normally now was because he was lucky and had a bright future in the industry he chose. Moreover, he was diligent, so the Wilson family had a place in the aristocratic circle.

Reyes sometimes wondered if Butler was working so hard because he didn’t have a wife. It was too boring and he had too much time, so he could only work.

But now that he was engaged and had a fiancée, he actually still spent a lot of time on work.

He left his fiancée alone at home.

Although Reyes was glad that they were separated, if Toya was so insecure, this happiness dissipated a lot.

“I never called anyone ‘Mother’ or ‘Mom’.” Reyes’s mother had died early. He couldn’t bring himself to say those two words.

Not to mention, he even called his father, Butler, by his name.

“There’s only a one year age gap between us. I’ll call you by your name, okay?”

Toya was twenty years old and Reyes was nineteen. The two of them were about the same age.

“Call me senior.”

Actually, it wasn’t a big deal to call her by her name. It was just that Toya felt like her name came out of Reyes’s mouth with a hint of affection that made her uncomfortable.

Reyes said obediently, “Senior.”

The way he addressed her sounded a little slurred.

Toya gave him a look of disdain but did not show it.

Reyes took the address well and loved it.

If he called her that, he wouldn’t think of her as the daughter of the Madison family or her as his father’s fiancée.

She was his senior, the girl he was prepared to pursue.

“Senior, does your shoulder still hurt?”

Toya said, “It hurts, but not as much as yesterday.”

The dress she was wearing today was very long and it wrapped her tightly.

“I’ve instructed Marsh to get some maids back today. Remember to apply the medicine carefully before bed tonight.”

“Got it.” There was a thick patronizing tone in Toya’s voice.

Reyes felt like a nagging mother at the moment. “You didn’t even blow dry your hair last night because you were afraid of pain. Was it very inconvenient when you showered too?”

It was because she hurt herself so much during the shower that she was in no mood to continue drying her hair.

Toya hummed softly and didn’t deny it.

Reyes thought about it. “You can get the maid to help you with the shower, too.”

Although they hadn’t recruited her yet, there would be one today.

Toya was disinterested in Reyes’s preaching and concern. She didn’t respond.

The driver in front had brought earplugs with him today. The butler had specially instructed him to do so. The earplugs were of high quality and he did not hear any of the conversation in the back of the car.

Otherwise, he would be shocked that the young master was so talkative today.

The car reached the school very quickly.

Reyes asked Tonya, “Where are you going to class?”

Tonya said, “Building 3.”

“What about you?”

Reyes lied without blushing. “Me too. Let’s go together.”

Toya nodded without suspicion.

The two of them walked side by side.

Reyes, with his long legs, slowed his pace so that he wouldn’t make her walk too fast.

There were many students walking around the campus. When they saw them together, they looked at them curiously.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman would always make one think of the prince and princess in a fairy tale as well as the sweet romance between them.

Downstairs in Building 3, they met Toya’s classmate.

The girl greeted Toya warmly and even secretly looked at Reyes.

“Who is this?”

She winked. There was clearly a misunderstanding.

Reyes didn’t like class much, and he rarely came to school. Few people knew who he was.

Rather than saying that he couldn’t bump into Toya, it was because Toya’s whereabouts were unpredictable. It was better to say that he rarely appeared in such occasions where students often appeared.

Although Toya had grown up under the doting care of the head of the Madison family, because of the special nature of the family business, in order to protect her safety, she had always been a hired tutor at home when she was in college.

When she grew up, her father also became old.

Because her father had aged and hadn’t taught her anything about the family business, others felt that she was already a weak woman without any threat and no longer payed attention to her, so she could go to university without worry.

She treasured every lesson she had, because the Madison family would send a car to pick her up after the class was over.

Class in school was one of the few times she had freedom.

Toya explained, “He’s a junior who came to class with me since it’s along the way.”

She looked at Reyes and waited for him to introduce himself.

Reyes said nothing with an aloof look.

He was not a polite and gentle man..
