Chapter 686

Arielle was glad that she wouldn’t have to see Donovan, as she didn’t have his class that day. But apparently, luck decided to joke with her.

So unlucky of me!

Despite feeling disdainful, she had to force a smile. “Good evening, Mr. Baxter.”

Donovan felt his heart race uncontrollably upon taking in her smile.

Instantly, a bad feeling settled at the pit of his stomach, causing him to frown deeper.

Meanwhile, Queenie, who heard their conversation, was surprised as well. “Do you know each other?”

Donovan glanced at Queenie in stun before explaining, “She’s my student. You know her?”

“Oh, so she’s your student.” Queenie didn’t answer his question. Instead, she said, “Seemingly, we’re fated to meet, Ms. Moore.”

Arielle smiled. “I didn’t know that you come here together. In that case, please excuse me.”

Before Queenie could nod, Donovan interrupted in a cold voice, “You live alone, so why did you buy so many vegetables?”

Apparently, the pile of vegetables in Arielle’s shopping cart didn’t go unnoticed.

Hearing that, Arielle couldn’t help but feel hilarious. What the hell! It has nothing to do with you, so why bother?

Yet, she could only let out a small huff. “I’ve invited my friends to come over to my new house to have a meal together.”

Queenie had seen the announcement of Arielle getting chased out by the Southalls when she investigated Arielle. Thus, she said discreetly, “Congratulations for moving into your new house.”

“Thank you.” Arielle nodded.

Before she could leave, Donovan once again stopped her. “If so, it’s merrier to have more people. Since Queenie and I are free now, can we join you guys? I’ll treat it as a home visit then.”

Arielle couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

A thought immediately came to her mind. What a shameless man!

Shock painted Queenie’s face as well.

He still called me “Ms. Mill” when we were on our way here, so why am I “Queenie” now? Moreover, are we free? Aren’t we supposed to bring the ketchup home later?

All of a sudden, Queenie sensed something fishy.

It is undeniable that Arielle’s face could attract a man at ease. However, they are teacher and student. Isn’t it inappropriate for a teacher to fall for his student? Moreover, he is having a blind date with me now. So, he likes Arielle? Am I overthinking?

Queenie decided to stop pondering and nodded. “Yes, we have nothing to do at the moment. But, are we disturbing you?”

Up until that point, Arielle had no choice but to suppress her discomfort and nod. “Don’t worry. What do you want to eat?”

“I’m fine with anything,” Queenie said in a carefree manner, and Donovan remained silent.

“In that case, I’ll get more ingredients.” With that said, she quickly headed toward the vegetables section, leaving them behind.

Just as she was busy cursing her luck internally, Trisha and the others came over.

Henry instantly uttered, “Boss, we saw Donovan Baxter just now.”

Arielle nodded. “He even invited himself to the dinner. Just bear with him for now.”

“Damn! The hell with the home visit! We’re in university now! I’m pretty sure that he’s targeting you. Oh, wait! It’s all of us who got enrolled with a connection that he targets.” Henry then looked at Trisha

and continued, “Don’t worry about getting targeted by him, Trishee. He would surely fawn over you since you’re a good student.”

Trisha blushed at the nickname and corrected him. “I’m Trisha.”

“Well, it’s only a nickname.”

At that moment, Queenie and Donovan approached them
