Chapter 1015

Hailey was stunned. “What did you just call me?” she asked.
Jonah replied, “You really don’t know, or are you just pretending?”
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. She already knew what he meant.
Her petite face flushed crimson as she tried to get up. “Mr. Pilsner, let me go!”
Her fair skin bloomed with color, and the fine hairs on her cheeks shone through even more apparently because of it.
She looked so delicate that one kiss could never be enough for him.
Jonah’s arm tightened around her. No matter how she struggled, he refused to release her, holding her securely against his chest.
He smirked as he said, “Hailey, I’m asking you a question and you don’t answer… Isn’t that a bit rude?”
Hailey lifted a brow and retorted, “Mr. Pilsner, you’re pulling a female student into your arms, isn’t that even more inappropriate?”
Jonah caught the spark of wit in her eyes and cut her off with a sudden kiss.
“Mmph Hailey pressed both hands against his solid chest, trying to push him away. “Let go!”
The moment her lips parted, Jonah deepened the kiss, leaving her breathless. Flustered and furious, she bit down hard on the corner of his lip.
Jonah drew in a sharp breath and released her. He brushed his fingers across his mouth and felt the sting where her teeth had broken the skin.
He chuckled. “You actually bit me hard enough to draw blood. If one of your classmates asks about it, what am I supposed to say?”
Hailey’s eyes lit up as she replied, “Tell them it’s punishment for forcing a kiss!”
Jonah said, “I’d rather say it’s a mark left by my honey!”
Did he really just call her that?
Hailey’s heart raced as she gave him a playful glare. “Who’s your honey?”
Jonah replied, “You, of course! You belong to me!”
A sweet warmth filled Hailey’s chest as she responded, “I haven’t married you. You’re so shameless!”
Jonah held her tight and asked, “Then when are you planning to marry me?” “That depends on how you behave,” she replied.
“Then I’ll make sure I behave perfectly!”
Before she could answer, her ringtone chimed again, breaking the moment.
“My phone’s ringing,” she pointed out.
Jonah sighed in resignation as he said, “You really are busy. Two calls in such a short time who is it this time?”
Hailey took out her phone and said, “Let me see… it’s Lester!”
Jonah had caught the name on the caller ID too.
It was indeed Lester.
Jonah hadn’t come to Aspenfield
University without reason. Les
was the ong he had worried about as he was the childhood friend who might steal Hailey away.
Yet since his arrival, he hadn’t once seen the two of them together. He had almost let himself forget about Lester completely until the call came.
“Go ahead. Answer it,” Jonah said as he gestured for her to pick up in front of him.
Hailey didn’t think twice. With a
bet
demeanor showing she had nothing to hide she pressed the button and greeted, “Hello, Lester.”
A warm, gentle voice came through the line. “Hailey, are you finished with class?”
“Yes, Lester, I’ve finished my class,” Hailey replied.
