Chapter 1024

Halsey held her pen, sketching designs on paper. She looked up at Zada and nodded. “See you tomorrow

Zada waved and left.

Ding!

Halsey’s phone buzzed–it was a WhatsApp message. She opened it.

It was a text from Shaun. [Hey, honey, Class over yet?]

Last night she had said yes to his proposal, and now he was already calling her “honey“. Halsey’s heart warmed.

She typed back a reply. [Just finished, honey!]

Shaun’s reply was instant. [Then come out now. I’m already outside the gate.]

Halsey’s delicate lashes fluttered. [You came to pick me up?]

Shaun, ever confident, answered, [I’m taking you to try on wedding dresses!]

Halsey’s lips curved into a small smile. [Okay, I’m coming now.]

[I’ll be waiting!]

She put away her pencil, stepped out of the classroom, and walked toward the gate.

Soon, she spotted Shaun’s luxury car parked across the street. Last night, she had told him to park there instead of right in front of the school–it would’ve been too flashy. Shaun had done as she said.

Even so, she noticed several girls‘ eyes on him from across the street.

Shaun had already stepped out of the car. Dressed in a sleek black suit, he stood tall and handsome beside the vehicle, the evening sunlight casting a golden glow over him. He looked as if he had walked straight out of a painting.

When a man is both rich and stunningly handsome, the effect on women is nearly unstoppable.

Halsey noticed all the girls staring at him. She quickly crossed the street and reached Shaun’s side. “Hey, Mr. Lane.”

Shaun smirked. “You called me ‘honey‘ in your text. Now you’re calling me Mr. Lane in person?”

Halsey raised an eyebrow. “So many people are watching. Of course, I’m embarrassed to call you ‘honey‘ here.”

Shaun didn’t seem to care about their stares. He wrapped his arm around her soft waist, pulling her into

his embrace, and gently pinched her small, cute nose. “Honey, are you jealous?”

Halsey tilted her head up. “Yeah, I am. So what are you going to do about it?”

Shaun grinned. “I’ll cheer you up!”

He bent down and kissed her.

“Wow!

Halsey heard the collective gasp from the girls across the street–Shaun had kissed her right in front of

them.

He pulled back slightly, smirking. “Better now?”

Halsey beamed and stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his handsome face. She called softly, “Yeah,

honey!”

Shaun, teasing, said, “I didn’t hear that–say it again!”

Halsey laughed and repeated, “Honey! Did you hear me? Honey, honey, honey!”

Shaun pulled her back into his arms. “Loud and clear, honey!”

They lingered like that for a moment before Halsey pushed him gently. “Let’s go. It’s too public here.”

Shaun opened the passenger door. “Hop in.”

Halsey nodded. “Okay.”

She was about to get in when a familiar voice rang out. “Halsey.”

She turned. It was Sierra.

Halsey froze. “Oh, hey, Sierra.”

Sierra glanced at her, then at Shaun. “Who’s this?”

Halsey introduced them warmly. “This is my fiancé, Shaun Lane. Shaun, this is my classmate, Sierra

Fletcher.”

Shaun gave Sierra a nod–polite, distant, and noble.

Sierra said, “Hello, Mr. Lane.”

Halsey asked, “Class is over. Aren’t you heading home?”
