She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 303: Beware Of Your Head

Chapter 303: Beware of Your Head

Reece thought Kate was just playing around, and that the infatuation of a young girl would eventually lead to her parting with her senior. Little did he expect that Kate would stick with pursuing him for three years.

When Reece saw the post, an unnamed anger welled up inside him. What a lousy guy! Was he really worth Kate's three years of devotion?

More than that, he wanted to tell Kate that at her age, why did she have to have a boyfriend? And if she was going to have one, at least find someone as devoted and outstanding as he was. After all, he had seen some exceptionally handsome guys. Why settle for someone so unimpressive?

In the Zamora Villa, everything remained the same; her window was still filled with succulents, just with more varieties than before. Kate, wearing the same white floral camisole nightgown from years ago, stood in front of the window, holding a pink watering can to tend to her plants.

The slanting rays of the evening sun highlighted her figure, creating a crimson hue on her white dress. The breeze gently tousled the strands of hair falling on her shoulders.

Her slender neck and graceful shoulders formed a soft, captivating curve, and a delicate silver necklace rested on her collarbone. The pendant was shaped like Snoopy, a gift Reece had given her on her eighteenth birthday. He hadn't expected her to keep wearing it.

It was the first time Reece had seen her with that necklace, and it looked beautiful but couldn't compare to her collarbone.

He pushed open the car door and walked to her building. Cupping his hands around his mouth like a horn, he shouted upward, "Kate, you silly girl!"

Kate, in the midst of watering her plants, jumped at the sudden sound, her watering can forgotten, and leaned out of the window to look downstairs.

Reece stood on the street, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt paired with bright yellow beach shorts, his oversized baggy pants flapping loudly in the wind, and the leg hair swaying like little flags in the breeze.

Kate gave him a glare. She was already in a bad mood, and this troublesome man had to come and irritate her.

"Reece, are you looking for trouble?"

"Of course, I am. Can't stand to see you fall for a scumbag," he replied, loud enough for everyone in the neighborhood to hear.

Kate, furious, retorted, "Reece, you better disappear right now, or I swear I will strike your head!"

She selected a potted plant on her windowsill, the smallest and least favorite, not much bigger than her palm, and held it threateningly as if she might toss it down.

Reece knew she wouldn't actually throw it. Kate loved succulents too much to let even the tiniest one go. Not to mention, throwing a pot down would be quite uncivilized and didn't suit her image as a college student.

"I'm not disappearing; I just wanted to tell you that your choice of a boyfriend isn't great."

"What the heck! Is your choice of a girlfriend any better? Don't forget, it was you who called me in the middle of the night, singing 'Single and Happy.'"

"I was just fooling around, unlike you, a big dummy!"

"Shut up, you're so annoying!"

"I'm gonna talk, Kate. What do you think of me?" His hidden message was, "Would you like me to be your boyfriend?"

"You? Not a chance! Get lost!"

Bang!

The window slammed shut, and the figure by the window vanished completely.

After a couple of seconds, the tightly closed window opened again. Reece thought Kate might have had a change of heart and realized he wasn't so bad after all. To his surprise, a small potted plant plummeted from above, crashing to the ground just inches from his feet. It fell like a small pebble from high above, so it probably wouldn't have hurt even if it had hit him.

The tiny green plant, barely the size of a toothpick, was just starting to sprout, and yet, it had become an object of venting for its owner. It was truly unfortunate, but it indicated how angry Kate was. She even threw her beloved succulent.

Reece stood there, dumbfounded, his charming eyes fixed on the window for a long while. Eventually, he seemed to realize something.

He slowly crouched down and used his own shirt to protect the tiny sprouting succulent on the ground. His lips moved quietly.

"You love these so much, don't you? Why treat me like this now? Truly, women's hearts are hard to understand." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The scene of their "argument" amused many elderly neighbors. It had been a while since they'd seen such an interesting young man. It seemed like he was trying to confess to the girl, but he was

so clumsy about it.

Confessing at a time like this, and if someone actually accepted, that would be true love.

A chilly gaze swept over him. It felt so familiar that Reece felt a shiver from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His scalp tingled.

Without turning around, he adjusted his facial expression and gave an awkward smile. "E-Eddie."

Eddie, dressed in a white coat, held a medical kit and spoke softly, "Well, I appreciate your help. You can find a broom and a dustpan at the doorstep. Clean up, and put them back when you're done."

Reece hesitated for a moment, feeling like he was being treated as a housekeeper. He finally sighed and obediently picked up the broom to clean up the mess. Afterward, he returned the broom to the doorstep.

Wrapping the tiny sprouting succulent in his shirt, he left.

Kate, standing by the window, peeked through a gap as she heard the engine noise from below. The red Ferrari gradually moved further away, disappearing at the end of the road. She couldn't help but smile. Reece had come to pick a fight with her on purpose, hadn't he?

It seemed like after their little argument, her mood had improved significantly.

The rhythmic knocking on her door interrupted her thoughts. Kate hurriedly composed her expression and went to the door.

"Brother, you're back from work."

At the door, Eddie had changed out of the white coat and was now wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light beige pants. He held a box of medicine, which he handed to her.

"What's this?"

"Morning-after-pill."

Kate coughed upon hearing such words from her brother.
