Chapter 302: Chapter 302

"Conrad, open the window, it’s so stuffy in the car! I can barely breathe!" Anna complained.

The air inside the car was so hot that it forced a layer of sweat onto both of them.

"Does your head hurt?"

Conrad helped Anna rub the back of her head where she had bumped it, massaging for at least five minutes.

Then he switched to the driver’s seat to drive her back.

"Conrad, why do you have walnuts in your car?"

Anna found them behind the seat, feeling very surprised by this discovery: "I remember there was a famous food street back in Veridia. Usually, food streets in tourist cities are just there to scam outsiders. But not ours, our food street had genuinely delicious treats. My favorite was the creamy roasted walnuts sold on the street. They were so fragrant and plump; the shell would crumble with a gentle rub, revealing the tender white meat inside, bursting with creamy flavor once it was in your mouth..."

Anna couldn’t wait to try one of the walnuts from Conrad’s car and immediately lit up, "Hey! It’s that taste! How did you know? Did you go to the food street to buy them?"

"Conrad, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Conrad just calmly steered with one hand while holding a cigarette with the other, trying to maintain his composure and clear his mind of distractions.

Meanwhile, Anna carelessly started eating the walnuts.

Oblivious, Anna used her foot to nudge his waist, trying to get his attention: "Conrad! Why don’t you answer my question? Do you have any manners at all?"

Who exactly was being impolite? Her foot was almost reaching the man’s shoulder.

Anna suddenly found a new hobby, using her toes to write on Conrad’s back.

What should she write?

How about ’Conrad is a big jerk’.

Nope, too difficult! Just his name alone has so many strokes; there’s not enough space.

Then what should she write?

While munching on walnuts, Anna racked her brains to think, playfully tapping her little toes on President Sterling’s back, noticing that block of wood didn’t react at all.

Conrad had had enough, sat up straight in the driver’s seat, with his back pressed tightly against the seat.

Conrad couldn’t take it anymore and urgently grabbed her mischievous foot. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel_fіre.net

He still held the cigarette, carefully raising the fingers holding it high enough to avoid burning her delicate feet.

But Anna was too disobedient, struggling vigorously. Conrad watched as the ash from the cigarette, already a long stretch with embers, fell off due to her jerking, dropping onto Conrad’s suit pants.

The man swore under his breath, immediately tossing the cigarette aside.

He then firmly restrained Anna’s feet with one hand and quickly drove off the main road, pulling into a nearby university.

At this time, the dorms would be locked, students in residence wouldn’t be outside, and those without plans to stay weren’t likely to wander around either.

The campus was extremely quiet, not a person in sight outside.

Conrad parked the car in the green belt by the sports field, under the shadow of trees where the streetlights couldn’t easily reveal a hidden car from afar.

Only then did Conrad feel at ease, cracking the car window open slightly.

But just that small opening wouldn’t possibly dilute the hot air inside the car that made people restless.
