Chapter 2752 - 225: Lincoln Harrison Likes Her
Molly Wellington heard what Shannon Cooper said and felt the senior female student must be overthinking it. "Senior, I only met Mr. Harrison for the first time now. He’s really nice, and he’s definitely coming to the dinner party to maintain the friendship in our study group. If the senior male student or someone else heard you say that, I’d be so embarrassed."
During the earlier group discussion, Mr. Lincoln Harrison had only said a few words to her, and he hadn’t talked to her as much as the senior male student sitting next to her, Christopher Collins.
Molly Wellington was absolutely sure the senior female student was just teasing her.
Who knew that just as she finished speaking, Lincoln Harrison, who was standing nearby chatting with someone else, suddenly turned his head as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
He hooked up the corner of his lips, a gentle smile appearing on his sharply defined Director, and looked straight at Molly Wellington in an open, unabashed way. "Underclassman, your senior female student wasn’t wrong... I came to the dinner party indeed because of you."
"Huh?!"
"Woah..."
"Lincoln Harrison, Mr. Harrison the heartthrob... what’s with you, being this proactive!"
"Adrian Smith, our freshman is this cute, and you’re already trying to hog her all to yourself the first time you meet? No way, no way. Let’s make it clear first, underclassman, you one and a half million don’t let that face of his fool you."
The others, hearing Lincoln Harrison’s completely undisguised flirting, all started whooping and cheering excitedly.
Molly Wellington had never expected this Mr. Harrison to be so straightforward and blunt. Her face flushed slightly red, and she stared blankly at Mr. Harrison with her surprised almond-shaped eyes.
Seeing Molly Wellington’s expression, dazed and startled like a little deer, Lincoln Harrison couldn’t help letting his lips curve higher, the smile in his eyes deepening.
"What are you all thinking. When I said I came to the dinner party for our underclassman, I meant that this dinner party is mainly to welcome her. You guys have been old classmates for three or four years already—would we really throw a dinner party just for you? Don’t you think that’s a bit cheesy?"
Lincoln Harrison’s black pupils, bright with a smile, stayed fixed on Molly Wellington’s flushed face as he explained unhurriedly.
"Yeah, yeah, we’re all cheesy, only you’re not. Adrian Smith, keep being stubborn with that mouth of yours. When our freshman gets snatched away by someone else, don’t you cry."
"Exactly... Underclassman, come on, come with the senior male student. Let’s see if someone gets jealous." Christopher Collins, who had been sitting beside Molly Wellington earlier, came over to pull her away, but before he could grab her hand, Molly Wellington felt her left hand fall into another warm, big hand.
"Underclassman, don’t get too close to him. He has a girlfriend." Lincoln Harrison spoke at an easy pace, but his broad right hand held tightly onto Molly Wellington’s left hand, keeping her tucked protectively by his side.
Molly Wellington: "..."
She—she also had a boyfriend.
"Th-thank you, senior male student, I... I’ll just go with Mrs. Cooper." Molly Wellington quietly slipped her hand out of Lincoln Harrison’s grip, moved over to Shannon Cooper’s side, and grabbed the senior female student’s hand tightly.
Shannon Cooper had just been jokingly teasing Molly Wellington earlier and hadn’t expected her words to actually come true.
Now it really did seem like Lincoln Harrison was interested in Molly Wellington.
Since Molly Wellington was the underclassman she’d brought along, Shannon Cooper instantly felt a protective urge. She tugged Molly Wellington over to her side, blocking everyone else off.
At the same time, she urged everyone to hurry up—there was the barbecue restaurant they’d booked for the dinner party just ahead—while lowering her voice to say to Molly Wellington, "Molly Lewis, you one and a half million need to be careful. Even though Lincoln Harrison’s got zero scandals, looks handsome, and has great grades, you can’t let a man’s outside appearance fool you. You absolutely can’t let yourself fall for him just because he smiles at you a little. You have to be sure, really get to know what kind of person he is first, before you say yes, got it?"
