The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 402

Chapter 402: I like you a bit more than yesterday
Aurora didn’t know when she fell asleep.

She only knew that when she woke up to the soft morning light, she didn’t have a headache and felt incredibly relaxed.

It didn’t feel like she had been hungover all night; it was more like she had enjoyed a top-notch massage and then woken up.

Not only was there no discomfort, but she felt excessively comfortable…

She remembered last night’s events. Was that considered a massage?

She didn’t know, but Sam was already gone.

Aurora frowned slightly, feeling the lingering warmth of the boy beside her.

She instinctively reached for her phone to check the time.

To her surprise, the first thing she saw was a message from half an hour ago.

From the boy who had already disappeared from her side.

[Had a good sleep? That means my service last night was spot on. When you wake up, go wash up, and there’s breakfast waiting for you on the table.]

Aurora was momentarily stunned.

She quickly grabbed her phone, got up, and then—

“Tap, tap, tap!”

She hurriedly opened the bedroom door, walked into the living room, and saw the breakfast on the table, thoughtfully covered.

Instantly, Aurora felt an indescribable warmth.

No one would reject being cared for and thoughtfully looked after.

She remembered Sam’s gesture of ruffling her hair in the bathtub last night.

He… really felt like a father.

Just so young…

Aurora quickly picked up her phone, sat at the dining table, and dialed Sam’s number.

Her fingers unconsciously traced circles on the table, a habit she had when she was slightly nervous.

“Hello, what’s up? It’s really cold outside.”

The familiar voice of the boy came through, along with the sound of the cold wind, a bit noisy.

Aurora pulled her legs up onto the chair, holding the phone and speaking softly.

“When did you leave?”

“About an hour ago. You just woke up, huh? The breakfast must be cold by now. Go heat it up.”

“I’ll heat it later…”

“Then why did you call?”

“Why did you leave so early?” she asked softly.

Sam’s laughter came through the phone.

“Obviously, I have to go to class. I had to go back and change clothes. Did you think I could sleep in like you?”

“Oh.”

“Is that all?”

“Thank you.”

She said softly.

“No problem. Consider it my extra service for you. You’re the only one who’s enjoyed it. Anything else?”

“Yes.”

“What else?”

Aurora spoke into the phone.

“I like you a bit more than yesterday.”

“Huh?”

Aurora quickly hung up the phone.

She placed the phone on the table and then, somewhat troubled, ruffled her messy but thick hair.

“Oh my god, I’m almost thirty, why am I acting so childish…”

“Beep~”

The phone screen lit up again.

She looked over and unlocked it.

It was a message from the boy she had just finished talking to.

[Don’t cry alone anymore. If you feel lonely, you can always reach out to me.]

“Pfft…”

Aurora couldn’t help but laugh.

She took a deep breath, still smiling.

Looking out the window with a smile.

“Now I understand why you think I might get deeper and deeper…”

————

“The final test of this semester is tomorrow. Pay attention to exam discipline and make sure to rest well. The schedule for the upcoming winter break has also been announced.”

On the podium stood Alice, wearing her familiar and stylish gold-rimmed glasses.

Her cold and slightly authoritative demeanor was now something Sam thoroughly enjoyed.

“Hey, Sam.”

Louis, sitting next to him, leaned over sneakily, whispering.

“What?”

Sam looked over.

Louis looked at Sam suspiciously.

“What’s your relationship with Ms. Alice?”

Sam found it amusing.

“Why? Have you set your sights on Ms. Alice already?”

Louis quickly explained.

“Of course not! Although Ms. Alice is indeed very beautiful, and many guys at school like her and talk about her, I know my limits.”

“Then why ask?”

“Do you ever get the feeling…”

“Feeling?”

“That Ms. Alice pays special attention to you…”

Sam looked at Louis’s suspicious eyes. Of course, he had that feeling.

But Sam remained expressionless.

“That’s normal. I’m the top student in this class.”

“That makes sense, but… I don’t think Ms. Alice is the type to only look at superficial things.”

He said.

Sam smiled and said, “If you think so, maybe you’re right. But why are you so concerned?”

“Nothing, it’s just that Ms. Alice looked at you a couple of times just now, so…”

Hearing this, Sam already felt something was off.

Sure enough, the next moment.

“Sam, Louis, what are you two doing?”

The woman’s stern voice came through.

Louis immediately sat up straight, stammering.

“I, he, I…”

“What are you mumbling about? Go stand outside. You’ve been behaving well for a few days, and now you’re back to your old habits, disturbing others. Out.”

“Just me?”

Louis looked at Sam.

The boy turned his head nonchalantly, indicating it had nothing to do with him.

“Who else?”

“…Alright.”

Louis walked out of the classroom dejectedly.

Sam looked up at Alice on the podium. She was casually scanning the room, seemingly not paying attention to Sam.

Sam could only silently apologize to Louis. Sorry, Louis, there will be many more unfair moments like this in life.

After school, Sam didn’t go anywhere else.

He didn’t go to the club either because this evening had already been reserved by a certain heiress.

When Sam appeared at the school gate on time.

Many students passing by saw Sam standing conspicuously by the roadside.

“Wow… so handsome, is that Sam?”

“Who else in our school is that handsome?”

“Why is he standing there alone? It’s so windy and cold. I wish I could give him my scarf.”

“Sure, as long as you’re not afraid of a certain someone’s reaction, go ahead.”

“Screech—”

Accompanied by the clear sound of tires skidding on the ground, a familiar black car appeared in front of Sam.

Without hesitation, Sam opened the car door and disappeared from sight, followed by the car disappearing from view.

“You’re quite punctual today.”

Angel was wearing a thick black coat over her shoulders, with a black fitted dress underneath, like something for a banquet.

She had delicate crescent-shaped earrings.

Her whole aura was that of a refined noble, looking even more elegant.

Sam blinked.

“Did you just come from a banquet?”

“I just accompanied my mom to meet some board members.”

She hadn’t attended classes today, having taken the day off, which Sam knew from the morning.

Sam smiled.

“You’re already involved in such things?”

“Of course, even if I don’t do anything else, getting familiar with faces is something the only daughter of this family should do.”

Her tone was a bit displeased, clearly not enjoying it.

Sam didn’t offer any comfort but said,

“Do you want a massage?”

Angel looked at Sam suspiciously.

“What did you do wrong? Trying to please me?”

Sam answered innocently.

“How can you call it pleasing? It’s caring for you. When you’re tired and irritated, I should help you relieve or resolve it.”

“What if my irritation is all because of you?”

Angel said this but lay down first, right on Sam’s lap.

Sam’s hands gently covered Angel’s temples, using the Hand of Desire.

He massaged gently, looking down at her beautiful face that he never got tired of.

“Anything but disappearing.”

“What if I want all the women around you to disappear?” she squinted at him.

Sam blinked. “How about we talk about me disappearing instead?”

“Hmph.”

Sam’s increasingly skilled massage techniques, though Angel didn’t say it, her more refreshed appearance was enough to show her satisfaction.

At the familiar mansion, Selena came up holding Biscuit.

“Good evening, Sam!”

She smiled brightly.

Sam smiled back.

“Good evening, Selena.”

Selena blinked.

“Sam, the New Year is almost here!”

“Now that you mention it, it is.”

“So, have you prepared my New Year gift?”

She looked at Sam expectantly.

Sam immediately understood her enthusiasm today and turned to Angel.

“Isn’t Selena almost in ninth grade?”

“Yes.”

“How about I give her some practice tests to help her study?”

Angel laughed.

“I think that’s a great idea.”

Selena’s eyes widened.

“No, no, Sam, I was just kidding. You don’t have to give me a New Year gift…”

Sam smiled, making Selena shiver.

“How can that be? My girlfriend’s sister wants a gift. Of course, I’ll give one. Don’t worry, I’ll personally deliver it to you.”

“…No, please no!!”

Selena covered her face and ran off.

Watching the little girl’s back, Angel couldn’t help but laugh.

“You really enjoy scaring kids?”

Sam looked at Angel curiously.

“When did I say I was scaring her? I really will give her the tests.”

“Alright, you’re amazing.”

During dinner, Celeste finally appeared at the table.

She arrived with her familiar charm and captivating presence.

Oh, Sam wasn’t talking about the roast pig on the table.

“Isn’t your school having exams tomorrow?”

Celeste asked with a smile.

Sam nodded.

“Yes, starting tomorrow.”

“Oh dear, that means I’ve been taking up Angel’s study time, having her accompany me to work these past few days…”

Without hesitation, Sam looked up and smiled.

“It’s alright. Angel is very smart. Missing a day or two won’t affect her. Her grades are excellent now. Besides, it’s tiring for Godmother to handle everything alone.”

This way, he didn’t offend either side.

Angel just focused on eating, uninterested in the topic.

She seemed used to her mother testing her boyfriend with various strange questions.

She had no mood to stop it, knowing she couldn’t anyway.

Besides, she increasingly felt she didn’t need to worry about Sam.

Celeste’s smile grew brighter.

“Sam, you’re getting better at talking, so smooth in every way.”

“How could it be otherwise? Our bond is deepening, and these words come from the heart.”

“If you care so much about Godmother, would you like to help her with her work? To share some of her burden?”

Another obvious trap.

Sam wasn’t tempted at all.

“I’m not good at those things. I’d only cause trouble. It’s better left to Angel. She’s more suited.”

“But how will you know if you don’t try? You’re at the best age to learn.”

Celeste seemed unwilling to give up, almost shoving the olive branch into Sam’s face.

Nothing like the Celeste who had called to ‘threaten’ him a few nights ago.

Sam kept smiling.

“Some things require talent. I’ve always been bad at math, not cut out for business. I don’t want to embarrass myself. Besides, Godmother is already busy enough. Teaching me would be too much.”

“Such a good boy~”

Hearing this, Selena felt the atmosphere was harmonious, but why did it feel strange? She was too young to understand the awkwardness.

But Angel, straightforward as always, spoke her mind.

“Enough, you two. I’m eating. Don’t make me sick.”

The atmosphere turned awkward.

Sam slowly put away his smile.

He leaned over and whispered.

“Come on, cut me some slack.”

Angel didn’t respond, just continued eating.

Celeste suddenly remembered something. She took out two tickets.

“By the way, someone gave me these today. Tickets to a concert hall. I’m a bit tired and probably won’t go. Why don’t you two go?”

Sam took the tickets.

The packaging looked high-end, clearly valuable.

“Interested in a concert?”

He looked at Angel.

The girl frowned.

“Why would you go? Do you have any artistic sense?”

Sam immediately got defensive.

“I wasn’t that interested, but now I have to prove my artistic germ.”

“Sam, isn’t it gene?”

Selena asked innocently.

Sam smiled at the little girl.

“How about I give Selena some practice tests as a preview?”

“Why! No, I don’t want… Sis, look at him. He’s trying to kill me!”
