Forbidden Love: My Crush Becomes My Stepmother - Chapter 23
Chapter 23: Incompatible
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The highest-ranking people in the Student Union were naturally the president and vice president.
Coincidentally, one of them was a man and the other was a woman.
Moreover, both of their families’ backgrounds and looks were very compatible. The president took very good care of the vice president. Although the vice president usually didn’t care much about the student union, the president would protect her secretly and not let anyone gossip about her.
The vice president was cold to others and didn’t speak much to anyone. However, she clearly spoke more to the president than to anyone else.
Both of them were single, at least on the surface. Naturally, there would be some gossip about them.
After all, they were indeed quite curious.
Reading the content on the forum, Reyes had mixed feelings.
If he didn’t know that Toya was Butler’s fiancée, he might have believed the news that the president of the student council was going to be with the vice president.
Although he knew that the girl who was about to be confessed to wasn’t Toya, he still cared a little because these people on the forum felt that Toya was “compatible” with the president of the student union, who he didn’t know.
Reyes noted the name of the student council president.
Richardson Marcus.
… Their families did seem to be quite compatible.
Boring times always passed very slowly.
Finally, it was ten minutes before class ended.
Reyes stood up and prepared to go downstairs to wait by the classroom where Toya was in class.
He actually wanted to walk out quietly, but he was too tall and handsome. The moment he stood up, the professor noticed him.
The professor stopped him. “Class hasn’t ended yet.”
Reyes paused for a moment and said in all seriousness, “I’m sorry, teacher. I think I walked into the wrong classroom.”
He walked away without any embarrassment.
He left the dumbfounded professor and students in the room.
Who would only realize that they had entered the wrong classroom when class was almost over?
It was unbelievable.
After class, Reyes waited at the door to Toya’s classroom.
The classmate beside Dorothy saw him and asked her, “Hey, your junior is at the door. Is he waiting for you?”
Because of Dorothy’s ambiguous account, they all called Reyes “that junior of yours.”
Dorothy was delighted when they called him that, because it was as if she and Reyes were really dating.
Besides, Reyes was intimidating. They knew at a glance that he was a ruthless man. If she wanted to get involved with him, others would think highly of her. This satisfied her vanity.
So she didn’t correct them about Reyes.
Her face paled when she saw Reyes waiting at the door.
It turned from smugness to fear.
She remembered Reyes’s warning look before class.
She thought he wouldn’t come again at noon after she rejected him.
She did not expect him to be so persistent and come to the classroom door to stop her.
Of course, she was not the one he was waiting for.
She glanced at Toya instinctively.
Toya had packed her textbooks and notebooks and was about to leave the classroom.
If the two of them left together, everyone would know that Reyes had nothing to do with her.
What would the people around her think?
Dorothy quickly gathered her things and followed closely behind Toya.
Toya saw Reyes and was about to say something when Dorothy spoke first. “Toya, can you let the junior join us for lunch?”
There was nothing wrong with her ambiguous words on the surface.
After all, Toya had rejected Reyes’ invitation before class. From Toya’s point of view, she was only pleading for Reyes’ sake.
From Reyes’s point of view, she didn’t have any evil intentions.
From the perspective of the person who had misunderstood her relationship with Reyes, their relationship was still ambiguous.
But she thought too well of Toya.
Toya could refuse Reyes’ lunch invitation on the grounds that she was unfamiliar with him. Naturally, she could also refuse Dorothy on other grounds.
She did not like too many people at her table.
She would not relent just because she was a girl.
She was so cold that she was almost heartless. “Did I agree to let you have lunch with me?”
Dorothy said awkwardly, “Aren’t you alone? You won’t be so lonely if I stay with you.”
“Huh?” Toya laughed softly. “Why didn’t you think I was lonely before?”
Dorothy blushed. She was at a loss.
Toya paused and didn’t continue with the harsh words. “Thank you still.”
“However, I still have to say this. I don’t need you. Also, don’t include me in your ‘we.’”
Toya enjoyed her antisocial self.
And she hated being assimilated by a particular concept or group.
She walked away. Reyes didn’t follow immediately.
He still had some things to settle.
In order to fool others, Dorothy had even offended him.
He did not have to say anything else as his expression was already clearly threatening.
“Don’t let me hear the word ‘junior’ from anyone, understand?”
