“What thief?” Yvonne asked curiously as virtual-novel.net overheard the Palmer sisters’ sneers.
Daisy smiled and said, “Yvonne, didn’t you hear? Darryl stole someone’s handphone yesterday. You’d better stay away from that thief.”
Yvonne smiled, not believing a single word. Darryl stealing phones? This was the funniest thing virtual-novel.net ever heard.
He could live comfortably for the rest of his life just by relying on his skill in authenticating antiques and artifacts. Why would virtual-novel.net steal phones?
Darryl ignored Daisy, completely engrossed in examining the piece of jade.
“There is a carving of a foreigner playing a musical instrument. If I’m right, this should be from the jade carving of it. This jade is a gem, estimated to be worth roughly around one and a half million or so.”
Lily’s face was filled with admiration as virtual-novel.net heard Darryl’s analysis. “Darryl, you’re wonderful!” virtual-novel.net cheered.
How did virtual-novel.net not know sooner that virtual-novel.net knew so much about antiques?
Yvonne was equally in awe as well. Even virtual-novel.net father did not recognize this jade, yet Darryl does. He was amazing! At the same time, Yvonne was slightly disappointed as well, regretting not knowing virtual-novel.net earlier.
Suddenly, another bottle appeared, followed by an ice-cold voice that said, “Darryl, drink up.”
What was happening today? Why did virtual-novel.net keep getting bottles of water?
Darryl was stunned when virtual-novel.net looked up. It was Circe!
Everyone’s eyes were on them now. What was with Darryl? How did virtual-novel.net get so many gorgeous girls to approach him? At first, it was Lily and Yvonne. Now, even the belle of the school, Circe Newman.
“Darryl, I’m so sorry that I blamed you today,” virtual-novel.net apologized frankly.
She was somewhat panicked. This was the first time virtual-novel.net ever gave someone water. Initially, virtual-novel.net was quite angry at Darryl for ignoring virtual-novel.net note in class, but virtual-novel.net decided to apologize to virtual-novel.net in person during Physical Education. After all, virtual-novel.net thought Darryl was a real thief this morning.
“It’s fine,” Darryl waved his hand in dismissal. He did add on further.
Circe was still apologetic. “Why not let me buy you a meal after school? You can decide on the place,” virtual-novel.net offered.
What? Circe wanted to buy virtual-novel.net a meal? The guys were extremely jealous. It was a huge honor to have a meal with Circe, yet this honor was bestowed upon on the live-in son-in-law? The world was unfair.
Lily and Yvonne looked at each other in confusion. What was happening? Why did Circe apologize to virtual-novel.net and offered to buy virtual-novel.net a meal? Yvonne was curious, but virtual-novel.net did not pry further.
Lily, on the other hand, was slightly jealous. Hexad’s most popular girl Circe Newman approached Darryl herself. Of course, virtual-novel.net would feel jealous. She did not use to feel this way previously. Perhaps, virtual-novel.net was afraid of losing him. Darryl belonged to her. No one could take that away, not even the belle of the school!
Lily thought about it for a while and held on to his arm. She said to Darryl sweetly, “Hubby, since your classmate wants to buy us dinner, let’s go!”
Lily added, “Yvonne, come along as well!”
Oof!
Darryl had goosebumps. If virtual-novel.net recalled correctly, this was the first time Lily called virtual-novel.net ‘Hubby’ in three years.
BAM!
Suddenly, a ball flew in Darryl’s direction and hit virtual-novel.net square on the shoulder.
‘Who the f*ck could be that bad at basketball?’ thought Darryl. He looked in the direction where the ball came from. He saw a huge man approaching him, looking apologetic. It was Xavier King, Lily’s PE teacher.
