Chapter 20.
Yes, but 1 completed all my undergraduate coursework by last semester and have already begun graduate studies. Earlier this year, I was exceptionally granted a teaching assistant position, covering some undergraduate courses for my advisor
That’s probably why they’re cautious around me.”
Aiden omitted some details, but they were inconsequential.
In reality, having received elite education since childhood, he had already self–studied much of the university curriculum. His current academic path was merely fulfilling necessary life milestones.
After all, completing every challenge too early would be rather dull.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was the small anomaly that had entered his life.
It was only after meeting Hazel that he found her somewhat intriguing.-
Hearing his explanation, Hazel was utterly astonished.
His accomplishments would be considered extraordinary in most people’s lives, yet he mentioned them so casually.
“You’re just too impressive–they probably admire you rather than fear you,” she suggested, creating an excuse for what had happened earlier.
Aiden smiled faintly without elaborating.
During his first weeks at Harvard, numerous admirers had confessed to him, only to be coldly rejected and occasionally verbally eviscerated.
Many had left in tears, and as the stories spread, people naturally grew wary of him.
While leading Hazel to a private restaurant, they unexpectedly encountered two people neither wanted to see.
“Who is he?”
Julian and Maverick asked simultaneously. Both instantly went on high alert.
No one had ever posed such a threat to them–not even each other.
They had always assumed Hazel would choose one of them. They never imagined she would reject them both in favor of someone else entirely!
Julian’s gaze turned exceptionally cold/as he stared unflinchingly at Aiden.
Maverick, like a ravenous wolf, couldn’t tear his eyes away from Hazel for even a second.
They all waited for her answer.
Hazel’s heart skipped a beat, completely blindsided by their presence in Cambridge.

What are you doing here? Who he is seems irrelevant to you, doesn’t it? Shouldn’t you be comforth Rose sehe
She countered coldly, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.
Almost instinctively, she assumed they had come to blame her for something related to Rose again.
At that moment, Aiden reassuringly took her hand, offering his silent support,
At the mention of Rose, Julian and Maverick’s expressions became noticeably awkward.
Julian cleared his throat and produced a recent photo of Rose in a hospital bed.
“We’re not with her. She’s received her due punishment. About everything that happened before–1 can explain!”
