Dwight looked at Cyril and called out Hello Professor Lincoln
Cyril was a professor and Dwight was one of his students They knew each other
Cyril gave a small nod and then extended his hand toward in l sey Let s go home
Halsey glanced at Dwight She had planned on having him take her home but now that her father was here she had no choice but togo with him
Halsey walked over to Cyril s side
Cyril looked at Dwight and said kindly It slate Why don t you come with us I ll give you a ride
Dwight politely declined Thanks Professor Lincoln but can head home on my own
Cyril nodded Alright Be careful on the road If you need anything don t hesitate to call me
With that Cyril turned to leave taking Halsey with him

Dwight stood there watching them as they left
Inside the luxury car Halsey s at beside Cyril as the driver navigated the road ahead Cyril broke the silence What exactly is your relationship with Dwight Are you two dating
Halsey blushed but answered confidently I have feelings for him
Cyril frowned That s nonsense You two aren ta good match
Halseyfrozeforamoment.”DoyouhavesomethingagainstDwight?Igetitnow–you’rejudging himbasedonyourownbiases!”
Cyril sighed I m not judging Dwight s background The boy is very talented He was the top scholar back in the day I personally invited him to study at Clave n dale University I treasure talent how could I judge him based on where he comes from
Halseyknewherfatherwellenoughtounderstandthathewasn’tthetypetojudge people inthatway.”Thenwhyareyoustoppingmefrombeingwithhim?”
Cyrildidn’tanswerdirectly,insteadasking,”Do youknowwhathisfatherdidforaliving?”
Halsey was taken a back I ve heard that he was a drug dealer but I don t believe it
Has Dwight never told you about this Cyril asked
“No,hehasn’t.”
Cyril was aware of Dwight s family situation He was extremely protective of talented individuals and he genuinely liked Dwight
“I’mnottryingtostopyoufrombeing withDwight.I justthinkyoushouldaskhimifhereallywantstobewithyou,”Cyrilcontinued.
The fact that Dwight hadn t told Halsey about his father meant that he wasn t ready to be with her

Halsey blinked her heart racing
O Of course he wants to be with me

Halsey was an honest girl but even she felt uncertain as she said it She had no idea if Dwight really wanted to be with her
Earlier when she had asked Dwight if he had feelings for her he hadn t given her a straight answer
In truth she was still in the phase of pursuing Dwight Though they had shared some intimate moments it seemed like Dwight hadn t committed to calling it a relationship
Still she believed he was into her
Her lips were still a little numb from the kiss he had kissed her so deeply earlier and at the end he had even bitten her gently
She could still feel the lingering heat in her palms
Cyril glanced at her his expression softening
Be be you re all grownup now You re at the age for dating and I won t stop you But you need to consider Dwight s feelings too
