Chopter 0585 Amid applause and cheers, the spotlight swept over the central table, landing on a pair seated together.
Agnes called out, "Wow! Looks like we've caught a couple! Care to introduce yourselves?" Willow stood up and took the mic offered to her. "Hello, everyone. I'm Willow Spencer, a bioinformatics major." Agnes grinned, turning her attention to the guy beside her. "What about the handsgentleman next to you? Won't you introduce yourself?" Hansel remained still, and his expression was blank. Willow smiled politely. "I'll introduce him instead. This is my boyfriend, Hansel Johnson. He's not a student here; he cspecifically to keepcompany.

"Lucky guy!" "Willow's one of the prettiest in the Faculty of Bioinformatics, and the guys barely had a chance before he snatched her up!" "Seriously! There's barely enough for us, and now an outsider gets a share. Tsk, tsk...” Though usually reserved, Willow's friendly nature and good looks made her popular, so her classmates felt comfortable teasing her a little.
Hansel's expression stayed calm, unbothered by the attention. But Willow knew that he simply didn't care. Praise or criticism, none of it reached him-it all felt irrelevant to him.
Hansel's mind was clearly elsewhere. His gaze wandered toward the corner where Miranda sat.
From the moment she entered with Madison, Hansel had been quietly watching Miranda as she turned down a string of men, and had Paul and Sam approach her one after the other.
Right now, he could see her and Madison returning to their seats with desserts, entirely unfazed by the chatter around them. Hansel suspected she hadn't even noticed him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMiranda, however, had noticed-she wasn't deaf. She had heard Willow introduce Hansel as her boyfriend. But there wasn't the slightest ripple in her mind, her heart stayed as calm as still water, unaffected by him. Madison nudged her. “This tiramisu is pretty good, way better than the macarons. What do you think, Miranda?" "I didn't try the macarons. The tiramisu's nice, but the rum flavor's a bit strong." Ah! That explains the odd taste I couldn't figure out! Miranda, you have such a sharp palate! Try this cream puff- it's my favorite tonight." Miranda took a small bite, nodding. "It deserves the top spot." Chapter 1595 +25 BONUS *Really? Lettry..." Sam suddenly reached over, scooped up the remaining half of the cream puff, and popped it into his mouth.
He nodded while chewing. "Mmm, It's so sweet."
Miranda was at a loss for words, while Madison felt nauseous She auseous could feel the skin on her arms crawling. Gosh, what a guy! Meanwhile, Paul remained expressionless, though his gaze toward Sam seemed to have a hint of frost.
Just as Sam swallowed the last bite of the cream puff, the spotlight fell on him. Unfazed, he stood up, took the mic, and said, "I'll skip the introduction. I'm not from your Faculty of Bioinformatics." Agnes raised her eyebrows, voicing the question everyone had. "Then how'd you get in?" Sam grinned. "Oh, I'm the sponsor." Gasps erupted from the crowd.
"Our Sugar Daddy!"
"He's way younger and better-looking than any imagined.m Definitely not your typical "Sugar Daddy' type."
