Chapter 2769 - 242: Abraham Redington—He’s Just Not Good Enough
After Abraham Redington left, it took a while for the excitement in the small conference room to gradually calm down.
The senior male and female students finally refocused on the discussion of the graduation projects, and Molly Wellington also forced herself to settle down, putting aside other distractions for now to properly prepare for graduation.
During the lunch break, she went to the cafeteria for a meal and on her way back, she bumped into Lincoln Harrison, who was returning with a thermos cup he had just filled with water, along the corridor outside the library.
Lincoln Harrison was also there when Abraham Redington came earlier.
However, Abraham Redington did not specifically speak to Lincoln Harrison the entire time, as though he was meeting him for the first time, not mentioning the scene from last night when he carried Molly Wellington back.
"Underclassman." Lincoln Harrison walked closer, holding the thermos cup. He had changed his clothes, but still wore a pure white hoodie.
It was clear, he really liked white, and this color made him appear even more cheerful and handsome.
"Mr. Harrison, I just finished my lunch... I came to walk a bit to aid digestion." Molly Wellington said, somewhat awkwardly, not expecting to encounter Lincoln Harrison in such a secluded outer corridor.
After what happened last night, she was a bit uncertain about how to interact privately with Lincoln Harrison.
Getting closer wouldn’t be good.
Going too far would seem excessively pretentious.
Lincoln Harrison smiled lightly, as if he didn’t mind what happened last night, "Underclassman, your boyfriend really likes you."
Molly Wellington didn’t expect him to speak so directly, nodded: "Yes... he indeed likes me a lot and spoils me."
"Not spoil, just like." Lincoln Harrison seemed not to exchange pleasantries with Molly Wellington, instead, showing an unusually serious expression.
"Underclassman, your boyfriend indeed likes you, but he likes you in the wrong way. He might be good to you, spoiling you, but this goodness, this spoiling is just his one-sided affection and indulgence."
Molly Wellington didn’t expect Lincoln Harrison to speak so bluntly, feeling as though he had instantly struck at the insecurity and hesitation hidden deep in her heart.
Molly Wellington instinctively wanted to evade, she turned her face aside: "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Harrison... I have something else to do, I’ll go ahead."
"Molly Wellington, wait." Lincoln Harrison, with his long limbs, stepped forward easily blocking her path.
The young, handsome man stood sideways in front of Molly Wellington, slightly bending over.
From a distance, it seemed as if Molly Wellington was enveloped in his embrace, overly intimate.
But in reality, it was just a physical misalignment, with both maintaining a safe distance: "Underclassman, listen to me first. I know you might not like to hear these words, but I’m just trying to offer some advice as a senior male student, or a friend. I don’t mean to come between the two of you, and I respect your choice, but before you start a relationship or invest in a romance, you should first remember you are an individual.
You are an individual with the freedom and rights, not just someone’s attachment.
I don’t know if you are living in that luxurious apartment because it was bought for you by your fiancé or if you are a rich beauty yourself. I hope that you are, at least this way you won’t have to entirely depend on him.
This Redington Young Master is indeed excellent, handsome, and perfect, but he is not the right partner for you. He... is too aggressive and domineering, not knowing how to respect people. Underclassman, you are so outstanding that you shouldn’t live on a path arranged by him, you should have the power to decide what it is that you want."
