Chapter 288 She Thinks I’m Pretty

“Yes?”

“Please… Please send it in for me…”

Cherise pursed her lips. “I can’t get out of bed…”

Frances fell into an awkward silence outside the room.

After a whole day of recuperating, Cherise returned to school on the third day.

She came to the classroom and was astonished to replace another person accompanying Lucy.

It was the hideous-looking Rodney.

He sat beside Lucy and waved. “Cherry!”

Cherise felt nauseous looking at his face.

She usually did not care about a person’s appearance.

However, it was only accurate to a certain extent. She couldn’t stand it when they were absolutely

hideous.

Rodney’s unfortunate appearance overshadowed any good qualities he had.

Cherise smiled awkwardly and walked the long way to get to the seat on Lucy’s other side.

Rodney happily placed a bottle of cold drink before Cherise. “The weather is hot today. It’s for you to

cool down.”

Surprised, Cherise muttered, “Thank you…”

Then, she turned to Lucy. “You…”

“I’ve decided to let my boyfriend attend classes with me.”

Lucy smiled gleefully. She seemed to have expected Cherise’s reaction.

She continued calmly, “Rodney is a good person. His grades are decent. Moreover, he has always

been gentle and loving with me.”

Her smile grew wider, and her eyes were clear as day. “I’m fully committed to my relationship. with

Rodney. As such, I’ll bring him everywhere, whether it’s classes or other activities.”

“I want him to be involved in every aspect of my life.”

“Lucy, you…”

1/3

Cherise pursed her lips. She could not bring herself to say anything else.

Lucy smiled contentedly. “I think Rodney is a nice guy.”

Cherise looked down.

Since Lucy thought Rodney was nice, Cherise had nothing more to say.

Besides, Lucy already knew what she wanted to say anyway.

With that in mind, Cherise turned to Rodney and smiled. “You must cherish Lucy!”

“I’ll never forgive you if you hurt her in any way!”

Rodney laughed in good nature. “Cherry, don’t worry. I’ll be good to Lucy!”

Then, they chatted for a while before the class began.

Cherise focused on the lecture and did not notice Jessie staring at her venomously throughout

the lesson.

It was Rodney who saw it first.

He prodded Cherise’s shoulder and asked, “Are you enemies with that fatty there?”

Cherie was focused on taking notes and frowned upon hearing Rodney’s question. “Who?”

Fatty? Enemy?

Cherise glanced in the direction Rodney pointed and saw Jessie with her cheeks badly swollen..

Jessie was not chubby.

She only seemed chubby because of her cheeks. They were severely swollen from being slapped. by

Mr. Kolson some time ago.

One would mistakenly assume Jessie was obese from looking at her face alone.

Jessie kept staring at Cherise.

Cherise coincidentally met her gaze when she turned to look at her.

When their eyes met, Jessie narrowed her eyes before turning away.

Cherise was briefly stunned but eventually looked away.

She was not surprised that Jessie hated her. After all, Mr. Kolson, Damien’s driver, dislocated her arm

and slapped her until her face was swollen.

Even though Jessie was injured, Cherise knew Jessie had only herself to blame.

2/3

She had indeed gone too far that day.

Cherise took a deep breath and calmly glanced at Rodney. “Perhaps she thinks I’m pretty”
