Chapter 577 Priceless Treasure
Josic managed to catch his words, but she froze when she saw his bandaged left leg. Ah, so he’s injured.
Even though there was a woman next to him, she was on her phone, ignoring them completely.
“What brand?”
“Anything.” Josie finally decided to take a pack of Marlboro and handled him the change, as well as the cigarettes.
As she came closer, he got a good look at her. She had bright, clear eyes and the naivety of a young girl with a slight fragrance.
Looking at the cigarette, he joked, “Do you want to have supper together?”
She didn’t catch his words. Admittedly, it was quite a challenge for a local in Wavery to understand the thick accent.
Looking at her confused expression, Morgan repeated himself patiently.
When she finally understood his question, she looked at the other woman, who didn’t show any reaction and shook her head. “That’s fine.”
After rejecting him, she took the books on the bench and disappeared into the night.
The other woman finally put her phone down and smiled at Morgan. “You’re not appealing enough for
her.”
“Some people simply have no taste.”
After that encounter, Josie deliberately walked past that convenience store for a while. Perhaps he left a deep impression on her at that young age. However, he never appeared, just like any other stranger.
The next time they met was in late spring when the cherry blossoms bloomed. Josie’s friend joined a volunteering club and dragged her along.
At that moment, Morgan was already in his final year. While his peers were busy revising for the finals, he had already achieved impressive results. He even became the private pupil of a famous professor.
He had always been a carefree person, marching to the beat of his own drum. In high school, he was already a frequent customer of the pubs, going to bed only when dawn was about to break. Since university offered even more freedom, he would make full use of it.
Hence, his name was well-known, but most people hadn’t met him.
When Josie opened the bus door, he was introducing himself cavalierly at the back.
People were already excited when they heard his name.
Nevertheless, the sound of the door opening when Josie entered still caught his eyes.
As he paused and looked at her, the group followed suit.
It was a small bus, so not many people were on board. When Josie met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
His face stood out in the crown, but the unexpectedness of meeting him there had caught her off guard, temporarily freezing her on the spot.
On the other hand, Morgan’s eyes lit up as though he had found a treasure. After a while, he retracted his gaze and continued the conversation nonchalantly.
Josie heaved a long sigh and found a window seat.
The bus started moving, and everyone started focusing on something else.
As the bus left the hustle of the city, the scenery became more beautiful as they moved south. Josie was quietly taking pictures with her camera.
Suddenly, someone plopped down next to her with a huge force. Shocked, she turned around and found herself face-to-face with the haughty man with a face many would die for.
