Chapter 270

Bella said listlessly, "No, I'll sit this out. You guys go ahead."

She'd originally had the intention of going but couldn't bring herself to get into the mood at the thought of Clarice's disapproval of Jack.

Luna huffily put the tickets away and muttered, "Fine, then. I'll bring someone else."

In Dorm 502, Isaac and Ronnie were fiddling with a high-end DSLR camera worth thousands of dollars. Its lens extended like a cannon, and it came with a

dedicated tripod. It looked incredibly professional.

Jack asked curiously, "What are you guys up to?"

Isaac said excitedly, "We're checking our professional photography gear. Joshua helped us get some tickets to the car exhibition-we heard there are going to be plenty of cars worth millions of dollars on display! Even the most popular car models are going to be there!"

Ronnie checked the camera seriously while Isaac occasionally reminded him to be careful. Samuel put down his book and looked at the gadget he would never be able to afford, feeling curious and envious. Joshua had given him a ticket to the car show; he wanted to see what this wholly different world was like.

Isaac turned to Jack. "Come with us, Jack! It'd be nice to look at the hot models even if we can't afford to buy anything."

Jack shook his head. "No, it's okay. I have other things to attend to over the next few days."

He was indeed going to be at the car exhibition, but he was going to be there to collect his car. He didn't want to run into his classmates there.

Isaac didn't force him. He and Ronnie continued fiddling with the camera.

...

It was the weekend the following day. As soon as everyone woke up, they saw a thick blanket of snow had covered everything. The snowfall was rarely this heavy, so it added a hint of romance to this international metropolis.

Jack woke up early to exercise he went for a run at the hill behind campus. When he returned, he saw Isaac, Samuel, and the others ready to head to the exhibition center. Find the newest release on finḑnovel.net

Joshua had recently gotten into the habit of leaving the dorm early and returning late after reconciling with Queenie, so he was scarcely seen at the dorm.

Before leaving, Isaac asked Jack once more whether he wanted to go to the car exhibition. Jack still shook his head. Once they were gone, he freshened up and left the dorm.

Meanwhile, the young women in Bella's dorm at the music faculty were also preparing to head to the car exhibition.

Remy and Gigi wanted to go with Luna, but she turned them down-she was heading there with a few handsome guys from the Entrepreneurs Association. She'd heard one of the association's members was going to purchase a car on the spot!

Luna elegantly picked up her LV bag and asked Bella, "Are you sure you're not coming with us to the exhibition, Bella?"

The latter lay on her bed, looking listless. "Yeah. You guys go ahead."

She held a cushion that was part of a matching set with Jack's—they'd bought it together. She felt rather downtrodden.

The dinner with Clarice was that night, and Bella was worried Clarice's comments of Jack would affect their relationship. She also had no faith in making Clarice accept Jack. This had been troubling her for the past few days, making her sleep restless.

She called Jack and asked, "What are you doing, Big Bun? Do you want to have lunch together? You're at the car exhibition? Alright, then... No, I don't want to go. I need to study."

After hanging up, Bella angrily pummeled the cushion while muttering, "Stupid Big Bun! Why aren't you spending time with me? Take this! And this!"
