Chapter 1209

Author: Cozy Season
Arriving at the Houston Mansion, Marion shoved open the door to the study.

The noise startled Caleb, who glared at him. "What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me."

Debra nudged Marion, while Erica dashed to Caleb's side with a big smile.

"It's been ages since I came to see you," she said enthusiastically.

"Don't even try. Every time you show up, there's trouble," he mumbled, glancing at them. "What's the deal?"

Marion placed the three gemstones on the table.

"What's this? Trying to bribe me? Or do you want me to appraise them?" Caleb asked, not taking it seriously.

Then he noticed Marion's solemn expression and adjusted his reading glasses to take a closer look.

His expression changed. He picked up one of them and inspected it carefully.

"Where did you get them?" he asked.

"One was bought at an auction. One was from Melody Nichols. The third one was a wedding gift," Erica explained.

Caleb frowned. "The Nichols family? Why would they have something like this?"

    Drake laughed at her question.Debra frowned. "What's so funny? I'm being serious.""You actually bought that?""You lied?""Yup.""You're not a good guy.""Never said I was."The beach stretched on, but he wasn't feeling tired at all.Back at campus, Debra hopped off the bike and handed him the helmet."Thanks for today. It was a big deal for me," she said, beaming.Drake leaned on the bike, watching her glow over one day of skipping class."What kind of life do you live? One day out and you're this hyped?""You know, class, food, and sleep. Sometimes I play piano, paint, or lately, I'm into flower arranging."Drake could picture her at a window, playing piano. She had once done it with him in the real world.She was a good girl, but they were from different worlds."Alright, princess, go arrange your flowers. Stop following me," he said, patting her head. "See you, shorty."Debra blinked. "I'm not short. And you're going the wrong way."Drake was already too far to h

    The sea breeze at the docks was strong.Debra didn't care. She sat casually on the beach. While grabbing a drink, Drake got her an orange soda.The wind messed up her hair. Her profile was perfect. No wonder Marion Houston fell for her at first sight.Drake chugged his beer. Debra eyed his can, curious and eager."Wanna try?" He held it out, only to yank it back as she reached for it. "Girls shouldn't drink."She pouted. "I've never had alcohol.""Andrew doesn't let you?""Yeah.""Control freak.""Not really. He just cares about my health. My parents and he dote on me, but they treat me like a kid. I'm in college now. I can take care of myself, and I wanna do grown-up stuff.""Grown-up stuff? Didn't peg you for a rebel.""It's not that wild. Just like traveling alone, trying beer, hitting a club, or singing all night.""Oh.""What did you think?""That's nothing. If you want, I can take you now.""But those places are sketchy, aren't they?""Scared? And you wanna be a

    "You know it's nonsense?" Drake asked back."It's just that no one's listened to me ramble in a while," Debra said. "It feels not bad."Drake's long strides forced her to speed up to keep pace. Noticing, he slowed down. "Where's the classroom building?""Huh?""Aren't we going to class?""Didn't you go to the classroom building yesterday?""I forgot the way, okay?""Oh."She took the lead to guide him. Drake followed.The campus was huge, and the path seemed to never end.As they neared the classroom building, Debra said shyly, "I don't really like class either, but I've never skipped."Drake stopped. "If you want me to ditch with you, just say it. No need to beat around the bush.""That's not a good idea, right?" she said, sneaking glances at him. "Can we?"Just then, a motorcycle zoomed by. Without looking, Drake grabbed the handlebar."Whoa, you nuts?" the rider yelled."Give me your bike," Drake said.The delivery guy was stunned by the robbery in broad daylight. Be

    Drake's mood soured further.Debra peeked over. "What're you looking for?"He avoided her eyes. "Nothing.""Class is starting soon. Let's go," she suggested, walking ahead.Drake frowned. "I didn't say I was going to class.""Skipping at this school is a big deal," Debra said, dead serious. "If you don't wanna get kicked out, you better go.""Do you have to worry about everyone's problems?" he sulked. "Are you just going around and convincing everyone to love life?"She shook her head. "No one else around me would give up on life. They're all positive about the future.""Yeah, right," he sneered. "A rich girl like you only knows other rich kids. Money, power, connections... Even if they do nothing, their future is set. Why would they off themselves?"For those scraping by at the bottom, even a lifetime of hustle might not get them close to her world. That was the gap. The rich got to enjoy life. The poor were born to suffer and end their misery early."That's not true," she s

    Suddenly, Drake reached out and pulled her into a tight hug. It was the only way he felt grounded.The hug caught Debra off guard.She blinked. "What's wrong? Are you sleepwalking?"Drake didn't let go, and she added, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the medical room?""Just be quiet for a second," he murmured. "Let me hold you."Debra's legs were getting sore. Drake was way taller, and if she wasn't on her tiptoes, her face would've been buried in his chest."Ease up a bit. I can't breathe," she mumbled.He realized she was suffocating and let go. She stumbled back, barely staying upright. He froze, shocked by his own action. For a split second, he'd panicked, terrified he'd be trapped in this dream forever.But when Debra showed up, it was like she anchored him. Hugging her made him feel real."You got a fever or something? Your face is flushed," Debra said, reaching for his forehead.He swatted her hand away. "I'm fine. Just stop following me."Debra was co

    Drake looked around the campus.School life wasn't bad. It just wasn't his life. He wouldn't play basketball like a regular student, eat in the cafeteria, or cram into a dorm with buddies to play games. His life was supposed to be gritty and full of chaos. Debra belonged to this campus, not his world. They shouldn't even cross paths."Stop following me. I'm not jumping," he said.But her cautious footsteps crept closer. He turned around. "Keep tailing me, and I'm heading to the rooftop right now."She stopped in her tracks, and he smirked. It was easy to handle a naïve girl like that."Remember, my name's Drake Lowe. Don't get it wrong," he called over his shoulder, waving lazily.Debra watched him wander off, muttering, "Weirdo."He knew her name, got close for no reason, messed with her, and intended to jump off the building. Now he said he wouldn't jump.He was a strange guy, but he wasn't really a pain in the ass....The next morning, Drake woke up in his dorm bed.
