Chapter 278
Nolan knew that at this point, he had no choice. If he didn’t fight back now, the man was not just going to beat him up, he was going to escape with the stolen bag too. And then everything Nolan did, chasing him and almost breaking his own leg running would be for nothing. He couldn’t allow that.So he forced himself to gather all the strength still left in his body. He pushed the man again, this time stronger, fueled by frustration and adrenaline, and the man fell to the ground. Nolan didn’t wait and started to kick him, again and again, the man trying to protect himself with his arms, rolling to the side, begging for help. Nolan didn’t even hear what he was saying properly. He was too angry. But then he finally stopped because he didn’t want to kill the guy. The moment he paused, the man quickly took advantage of it. He scrambled to his feet and ran as fast as he could.Nolan stood there, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling and for a split second, he thought about cha

Nolan went to the bathroom to ease himself and when he was done, his plan was to just step out and get some fresh air, avoiding Fiona and waiting for Gabriel, his girlfriend and Cole to show up. He came out of the bathroom area to wash his hands and while he was washing his hands, there was a man next to him who was also washing his hands.The both of them made eye contact in the mirror and Nolan could just tell that there was something suspicious about him. The man was dressed in all black, even his jeans were black, he had dark sunglasses on his face inside the restaurant, and he even had a hoodie pulled up. Everything about him just screamed something was off. Something about the way he stood and the way he watched Nolan made Nolan feel off too.The man turned to him and Nolan could tell that there was a glare behind the sunglasses.“Can I know why you’re staring at me?” the man asked in a gruff, deep voice.Nolan quickly shook his head and looked away.“I’m sorry about that…” he t

“Oh, yeah, I forgot my phone, and I had to quickly go and get it. I told them not to wait because it looked like Gabriel was in a hurry, and I didn’t want to be the one to delay him,” Fiona lied as she explained to him with her usual dramatic voice, sounding like she was actually being considerate and nice. Nolan wasn’t even paying attention to what she was saying. He just stood there, staring at her and wondering for the millionth time why Fiona was always left alone with him. Why did she always somehow end up beside him? Why was he always the unlucky one that had to deal with her? He sighed quietly as he watched her keep talking, already feeling tired before the day had even started properly.“I was hoping that you’ll still be here so that we can go to the airport together, and luckily for me, you’re still here,” Fiona said, laughing like she said something funny.Nolan just stared at her, not saying anything. He honestly didn’t even know what to say or how to respond to her. He fe

“You’re really being dramatic, Gabriel. You’re not going to bash the car,” Nolan said, rolling his eyes and wondering why Gabrel would even think like that. At the same time he knew that if he ends up bashing the car, it wouldn't be a problem because he can just get a new one. He tossed the key to Gabriel, and Gabriel barely caught it with both hands. “Just go and pick up your girlfriend.”Fiona had already walked up to the boys at that moment, a bright smile on her face las she had no idea what was going on. If she had heard what Gabriel had said about her, she definitely wouldn't be smiling. She said hi to Gabriel and Nolan, but the reply she got back was half-hearted, and dry, almost like their minds were somewhere else when it wasn’t. Nolan didn’t even look at her when he said his own greetings. He legit ignored her completely like she was invisible. “Okay, I’ll meet you at the airport then. Let me just find a ride at the front of the school,” he said, not bothering to wait for
Chapter 274
Nolan pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a long sigh. He hadn’t expected his friends to be bickering on what was supposed to be a good day, a day that should have been about picking up Gabriel’s girlfriend from the airport and enjoying a simple meal together. “Can someone please explain to me what exactly is happening right now?” he asked, his voice sounding frustration as no ine was answering him. “Time is really not on our side, and Gabriel, you don’t want to keep your girlfriend waiting.”Gabriel, still frowning, pointed at Cole. “Well, Cole here decided to invite Fiona,” he said angrily. “Without even telling us.”Nolan’s eyes widened slightly. “What…?” he trailed off, looking directly at Cole, who simply shrugged, almost as if he had done nothing wrong.“Can you stop making it seem like I did a bad thing when in reality, I was just trying to help?” Cole said, his voice defensive. “I was thinking about how it would be just your girlfriend alone among all the boys. I thoug

“I know what you’re about to say, and I want you to know that I have the money I’m about to give you. I already have a better job, I drive a car now, and I’m making enough money,” Nolan added quickly, as if to get ahead of any objection Gabriel might have.Gabriel shook his head slightly, a frown forming on his face. “I don’t think I can let you do that, Nolan. You don’t even know her. She’s my girlfriend. I should be the one to pay for all her expenses.”Nolan waved a hand dismissively. “It doesn’t matter. We’re friends, and I know how much you and Cole have done for me. Let this be the small way I can pay you back. I’m really sorry about your job. And I know that if you hadn’t lost it, it would have been easy for you to handle things for your girlfriend yourself.”Gabriel still looked unconvinced. He wasn’t entirely sure Nolan actually had the money to cover all the costs, and yet he realized he had no real choice but to believe him. If he refused Nolan’s help now, he would be in an
