Chapter 744 Side Story: Childhood Sweetheart (4)

• Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. After Alice got into high school, she began to understand the differences between males and females. This made her relationship with Damian turn rather awkward. After she started Year 8, she no longer allowed Damian to send or pick her up from school. He wasn't too bothered by this, as he had already completed his university studies by then and was mostly occupied with work. He didn't have much time to spend with her, and they only briefly greeted each other when they happened to bump into each other. He didn't have much influence over her life at that point.
• Alice had a piece of bread in her hand and was occupied with her thoughts for a while when she took a glance at the clock on the wall. Only then did she realize that she was about to be late. So, she kept the piece of bread in her mouth as she grabbed her bags and hurried downstairs. She had just left the house when she saw a familiar car outside her front door. It was a black Maybach that looked sleek and luxurious yet not too flashy.
• This was different from that crazy guy, Liam Joneson, who preferred to drive his pink, modified Ferrari. Whenever it sped past her, she would find herself getting covered with dust that was kicked up from the asphalt roads. Right then, a tall figure stepped out of the car. Alice glanced at him and blinked a few times. "Ethan, are you here to pick me up?"
