Chapter 121
With his rowing test results turning out spectacular, it was obvious Eric had secured his spot as a new member of the club. Not only did he pass—he topped the entire batch, with Richard Brown trailing in second place.Those who failed the final test walked away disappointed, though they planned to try again next year. Richard himself was living proof that failing once didn’t mean the end—he’d lost last year, but made it this time.Eric politely excused himself from the coach and committee to meet his supporters. Even with just five minutes, Eric was genuinely grateful.Chloe watched Eric sprint toward the back of her house with a sour expression. It would’ve been great if the girl he was running to meet was her. But reality said otherwise—Eric’s girlfriend was Violet. And now Chloe was cursing internally at having to witness Eric and Violet being close.“Hey, beautiful. Aren’t you going to congratulate me?” Richard walked up to Chloe with a proud grin. He thought he had finally proven

From the moment Eric finished his rowing test with a flawless result, it was obvious he’d make the cut. Not only did he pass—he came out as the top performer, with Richard Brown trailing behind him in second place.Those who failed the final test were understandably crushed. Still, they vowed to try again next year—taking inspiration from Richard, who failed last year but succeeded this time.Eric politely asked the coach and committee for permission to greet his supporters. He only got five minutes, but he was grateful nonetheless.Chloe watched Eric sprint toward the back of the house, her face souring. It would’ve been wonderful if she were the girl he was running to—but reality was cruel. Eric’s girlfriend was Violet. And now Chloe was silently cursing the universe for forcing her to witness their closeness.“Hey, beautiful. Don’t you want to congratulate me?”Richard approached with a proud grin. He thought he had finally proven himself worthy of being considered Chloe’s boyfrien

But apparently, even the soft music wasn’t strong enough to fix Chloe’s mood. In the end, her irritation hit its breaking point. She was done being patient.Deliberately, Chloe leaned her back against the bus window and stretched her legs across the seat. She occupied the entire two-seater by herself. Not only that—she put on the laziest expression she had and shot intimidating glares at anyone who walked past.Meanwhile, Lily still hadn’t restarted the conversation with Eric. She waited until everyone boarded the bus and they began heading back to campus. She’d bring up the important topic once the situation felt right.“Sorry I’m late!” Richard called out cheerfully as he emerged from the restroom.Seeing him appear, Chloe let out a deep exhale. She knew Richard would be the last man to try and sit next to her. Her face instantly soured.Richard, on the other hand, lit up when he noticed the seat beside Chloe was still empty. He hurried toward her.“Can I sit next to you?” he asked
Chapter 124
After officially becoming a new member of the university’s rowing club, Eric’s name exploded across campus. Not just in his own department—other departments, even other faculties—everyone knew him. His fanbase kept growing, full of guys and girls from his batch, seniors, and even some staff and lecturers.Despite juggling academic routines and intense rowing practices, Eric always tried to maintain his relationship with Violet. Still, with fans constantly swarming him like a flock of devoted followers, Violet often found herself stepping back to give them space.Even so, Violet truly understood. She knew her boyfriend was shining brighter each day, attracting admirers left and right. And she herself admitted—Eric had always been someone worth admiring, long before he joined the rowing club.Just like today, when they were having lunch together in the campus cafeteria, another girl walked up just to greet Eric.“You must be tired,” Violet said, resting her chin on her palm as she studi
Chapter 125
That night, Violet still couldn’t shake off the flirty message that had popped up on Eric’s phone. Every word stuck in her head, sharp as a blade, replaying itself over and over, gnawing at her all day.Finally, unable to stay put in her room, she jumped into her car and sped toward the Kingsley Harrington neighborhood. She stopped briefly to hand Dr. Marry Eric’s book that she’d accidentally taken with her. No one else was to know about the mess brewing in her relationship with Eric.After a nerve-wracking drive, Violet reached Eric’s house. The guard, who knew her well, rushed over the moment she stepped out of her car.Violet had no plans to park inside the compound. If she ran into anything painful, she thought, she could leave silently without maneuvering the car back out.“Sorry, Miss, Mr. White isn’t home,” the guard said politely.Violet’s brow furrowed instantly. “But… I thought Eric was home earlier. Did he go out again?”The guard scratched his head. “Sorry, Miss, seems lik
Chapter 126
Today on campus, Eric noticed something off with Violet. His girlfriend had gone quieter, her expression sour. And when she did smile, it was forced, not the genuine sweetness he was used to seeing plastered across her face.Eric, clueless about what had gone down, tried asking her directly. But all he got was the usual “I’m fine” answer.That didn’t match what he was feeling at all. Still, he didn’t push Violet to spill. Maybe she needed time to sort out what was eating at her.“This is complicated. I swear, nothing weird happened before. Just… Violet said she had a little headache during lunch on campus. And by the next day, her whole attitude changed.”Elise set her book down with a heavy sigh, listening to her brother unload. “Think again. Maybe before Violet said she was dizzy, you said something or acted in a way that ticked her off.” She rested her chin on her hand, eyeing Eric sprawled on his bed.Eric stayed silent, staring at the ceiling. Frustration carved into his face. He

A pair of long-lashed eyes had been locked onto Eric and Elise the whole time, never once looking away. It was as if shards of glass flickered inside those beautiful eyes. The moment she saw them heading up to the third floor, the woman rose from her seat, leaving her ice cream behind. She followed them.The woman fighting back her tears at the sight of Eric and Elise together was none other than Violet. She had come there on purpose—wanting to relive old memories, to revisit the days before she and Eric ever dated. Violet still remembered it clearly: this ice cream shop owned by Charles Stuart was where she met Eric for the second time.She had come to cherish something sweet, but reality slapped her with something that tore her heart open even more. She had no idea that behind her back, Eric was that intimate with another woman—not just through texts or calls this time. Violet was witnessing everything with her own eyes.Honestly, she was surprised she could still stand and not pass

Hearing the mission details—complete with rewards and brutal consequences—Eric’s eyes flew wide open. Instead of imagining the reward he’d get, his heart started pounding like crazy from the sudden tension.First, Eric had no idea why the System judged him as “insensitive.” As far as he knew, he always tried to understand Violet, tried to make her happy, gave her genuine attention. Yet the System slapped him with a mission specifically about insensitivity.Second, the System only gave him two hours. That was the shortest timer he’d ever received since all of this started.And what really twisted his nerves was the threat of broken bones. He was a rowing athlete—his coach had just placed him on the university’s main team, while all the new recruits got stuck in the reserve team. They were going to represent their campus in an intercollegiate rowing competition in Houston.If he failed the mission and ended up with both arms broken, how the hell was he supposed to row? Even an Olympic a

Hearing his future mother-in-law’s answer, Eric’s eyes widened as if something suddenly clicked in his head. He immediately asked, “Did Violet tell you which ice cream shop it was?”“Um, she said it’s not far from the city park, but she didn’t mention the exact address.”“Don’t tell me…”“Why?” Doctor Marry grew even more worried, seeing Eric’s complicated expression.Eric asked for a moment to confirm something. He called Stevan, telling him to check the CCTV from nearby restaurants from about thirty minutes ago to verify whether Violet was there. Eric even described Violet’s appearance in detail.Doctor Marry watched in silence, her forehead deeply wrinkled. She clearly had a hundred questions, but she held them back, giving Eric space to handle things his way.After calling the ice cream shop’s manager, Eric contacted his sister next. He briefly explained the situation and told Elise to hurry over.When he finally ended the calls, Eric let out a long breath. The tension in the room

Dr. Marry took a deep breath before knocking on her daughter’s bedroom door. “Violet, open the door, sweetheart,” she called softly.No response. She tried again. This time, Violet answered.“What is it, Mom? I want to be alone. Please.” Her voice was hoarse—exhausted.Dr. Marry suspected Violet had spent the whole time crying. She replied, “There’s a guest asking for you. Come out for a moment, dear.”“Is it Eric? If it’s him, please tell him I’m already asleep.” Her tone turned annoyed.“No, this guest is a woman. She keeps insisting on seeing you.” Dr. Marry lifted her brows at Elise, who was covering her mouth to keep from giggling.“A woman?” Violet answered from inside. She had been lying down, but now she sat up straight, her brows furrowing. She bit her lip. Could it be Chloe? But why would she come here?Violet swallowed. “Is it the woman who helped me back then? The young Miss from the Turner family?”“Um… I don’t quite remember Miss Turner’s face. But please, just come out,
