Chapter 206
Professor Wood, however, did not go along with Renee’s wish this time. Instead, he said, “This is a secret between us two, so it’s not that convenient. But we’ve finished talking now. I’m going to go cook something delicious for you. Why don’t you two take Jane out for a walk?”
“Huh? But…”
Renee was about to say that its “not that convenient“.
But Stefan was faster than her. He said expressionlessly, “I heard that there’s a famous place called the Sophora Road in BC
University. I don’t mind going out for a walk.”
“That’s right. The Sophora Road is a famous landmark of BC University. The sophora flowers happen to be blossoming now
too. When the wind blows, the white petals fall like snow. I remember there’s a legend about the Sophora Road…”
Professor Wood looked at Stefan, then at Renee. “It’s said that when a man and a woman walk along the Sophora Road holding
hands, they’ll grow old together. Sophia and I, as well as many of the lecturers living in the specialist residential area, are loving couples. Maybe it’s because we walked along the Sophora Road every day.”
Renee said, “Wow, that’s amazing. But that means you have to be careful who you walk down that road with. What if you have
to grow old with a man you hate? That would be terrible…”
“How scary. I think I’ll take Jane out to play!”
She deliberately glared at Stefan with a disgusted face on the way out.
Stefan: “…”
He pursed his thin lips, his eyes murderous!
That woman was clearly insinuating something about him just now. How dare she?
Professor Wood could not help but laugh. He told Stefan, “See? I told you. Renee is a mischievous girl. All those years she was married to you, she had been suppressing her own nature a little…”
Stefan kept quiet.
He thought “a little” was an understatement. She had become a completely different person after the divorce!
So much so that he sometimes wondered if she had multiple personality disorder.
“Jane, let’s go out to play!”
The two girls went out happily like sisters.
BC University was still the same as Renee remembered it. It was both artistic and scholarly.
When Renee was studying here, she was a legend due to her outstanding appearance and genius–like learning ability.
But to everyone’s surprise, the legendary figure chose to marry into a rich family when she was shining the brightest. And thus. a rising star in the physics world fell. It was such a pity…
The sophora petals fell on Renee’s face and hair. It was beautiful and romantic.
Renee grabbed one and lowered her head to smell it as sunlight caressed her fair porcelain face. She looked so beautiful, like there was a filter on her.
She looked like the lead actress in a Korean drama. With a sweet smile on her face, she gently blew petal away.
“It’s snowing! It’s snowing!”
Jane danced and spun with her arms spread wide amidst the falling flower petals. She caught sight of Stefan walking towards
them.
“Uncle Stefan, Uncle Stefan! Over here! Let’s play together!”
Jane dashed over to Stefan, took the man’s hand and pulled him towards Renee.
“Why are you following us?”
Renee suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Had he been quietly walking behind them the whole time?
Then he would have seen her acting like a Korean drama’s lead actress just now. How embarrassing!
Stefan’s handsome face was emotionless. He coldly said, “Does this road belong to you? Why can’t I come here?”
Stefan’s words rendered Renee speechless.
This guy was so annoying!
Renee crossed her arms and raised her chin somewhat proudly. “Actually, this road… was made for me!”
“?”
Stefan’s eyes were full of doubt.
“Don’t believe me?”
Renee casually grabbed a passing student and asked, “Hi! Do you know the history behind the Sophora Road?”
“Of course I do!”
That student was very enthusiastic and started to talk endlessly.
“Years ago, this road…”
