Chapter 602
Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Charlize hastily looked away with flushing cheeks and sat beside Juliette.
Julietteâs foundation was set. She was wearing red pajamas, revealing her rosy-white arms.
Charlize attempted to touch her friendâs arm. Juliette gently slapped her. âWho did you learn this hooliganism from?â
While her dormmates had often shared lewd comics and novels among themselves in private, they had avoided doing so with Charlize.
They had thought Charlize was too adorable and innocent when she first enrolled.
Truth be told, Charlize was indeed pretty innocent when she first stepped into university. She had never done or heard many things before. She would often ask Juliette and the others questions like a curious child, which they patiently answered.
Whenever they saw Charlizeâs curious, adorable, and innocent look, they didnât have the nerve to share anything lewd with her.
They didnât want to corrupt her mind.
Charlizeâs cheeks burned as she quickly withdrew her hand. âI just thought you look fair and that your outfit is quite... alluring.â
It sounds a little lewd. The instant those words escaped her mouth, she blushed.
Staring at her friendâs tomato-red cheeks, Juliette couldnât help but tease, âItâs been over a year since we graduated. Why are you still blushing so often? What are you going to do when Spencer holds your hand and kisses you?â
Charlize was already blushing pretty hard, so when Juliette deliberately said such bold words, her ears started to turn red.
Shanny and Molly entered the room right then. Seeing that Charlize was sitting there with her cheeks red, they asked curiously, âWhat did you say to her, Juliette? Why is her face flushed?â
âI didnât say anything,â replied Juliette innocently. âI only asked her what she will do when Spencer kisses her if she blushes so easily.â
Shanny burst out laughing. âYou know sheâs a bashful woman, yet you still asked her such a juicy question.â
The stylist glanced at Charlize out of curiosity and couldnât help but giggle. âHer face is pretty red.â
Charlize was rendered speechless. Itâs not like you all never blushed before! Hmph!
Her friends were only teasing her for a bit. After they had their laughs, they stopped throwing her questions that would turn her cheeks red like an apple.
At that moment, Julietteâs motherâs stylist returned and immediately helped Charlize put on makeup.
At around two in the afternoon, Juliette departed from her home. The groom was from the same university as her, and the bridesmaids were familiar with the groomsmen.
After Juliette and her bridesmaids arrived at the groomâs home, she met her parents-in-law with her husband-to-be. Then, everyone rested for a while. The wedding would begin at seven in the evening.
Charlize and the others were quite exhausted.
Charlizeâs feet were slightly injured, but she didnât want Spencer to know. She endured the pain throughout the journey and pretended to be fine.
The wedding was held at the hotel where Charlize stayed last night. There were over two more hours until the wedding started, so Charlize and Spencer returned to their hotel room to rest first.
Just as they left the groomâs home, a woman, ignoring Charlize, suddenly approached Spencer. âHello. Are you friends or relatives of the bride?â
In response, Spencer pulled Charlize into his embrace. Seeing that, the woman swallowed her words and waved her hands awkwardly. âNever mind. Sorry to interrupt.â
The woman lifted her dress and bolted back to where she came from.
It was pretty obvious what the woman was planning to do.
Charlize felt upset and recalled the scene she had witnessed in Julietteâs home after her makeup was done. She had spotted Spencer surrounded by a few women in the living room. Although he didnât really pay attention to them, she still felt her heart sink when she saw that.
Despite her dismay, she knew Spencer wasnât to be blamed. She hugged him tight and rubbed her head against his chest. âI think itâs not a good thing for a boyfriend to be too handsome.â
As soon as she said that, Spencer scooped her up in his arms.
Many of the guests who planned to visit the bride and groom turned toward them.
Charlize covered her mouth and blinked at Spencer. âW-Why are you carrying me?â
Spencer glanced at her feet. âDonât your feet hurt?â
Charlize was somewhat shocked. âHow do you know that?â I didnât walk any differently than usual, so howâ
âYour heels are red.â
Charlizeâs skin was fair, so her flaming ankles stood out. âOh...â
Suddenly, someone snapped a picture of her without turning off the flash.
Charlizeâs attention was promptly drawn to the origin of the flash. Tilting her head, she saw a few people gazing at her and a photographer. Immediately, she buried herself in Spencerâs embrace, flushed with embarrassment.
Spencer glanced at the photographer. âPlease send me the photo later.â
Earlier, when the bride arrived, the photographer had immediately noticed Spencer. Spencer was the most attractive person in the brideâs friend group. A few women had asked him for his contact number upon spotting him. His only response to that was pointing to the bridesmaid in his arms and stating, âMy girlfriend keeps a tight rein. Sorry.â
When he rejected someone, he did it with a cold expression. Eventually, no other woman dared to ask for his contact information again.
When Spencer turned to the photographer, the latter was shocked, thinking that the former wanted him to delete the photo. He was surprised when Spencer asked him to send the photo.
âSure. Iâll ask the bride to send it to you.â
He had wanted to ask Spencer for his number, but he tactfully changed his mind after witnessing Spencer carrying Charlize.
Spencer nodded and carried Charlize away.
Although the main characters that day were the bride and groom, Spencer and Charlize were so attractive that they drew a lot of attention. A few young women even exclaimed as though they were watching a drama series when Spencer carried Charlize away.
It wasnât until Charlize was brought back to the car that Spencer released her.
Charlize watched him squat down, remove her high heels, and ask, âHow about you change into another pair of shoes at night?â
Charlize stared at him while he was holding her feet. âOkay.â
His palms brought warmth to her icy feet. That warmth eventually traveled into her heart, making her feel fuzzy.
