Chapter 574 Field Operations (1/2)

Upon hearing a voice calling out to him, Sean saw Carla get out of the car. He promptly walked toward her and said, ”It's only been a couple of days since the last time I saw you, but why are you getting so fat so quickly?”

”Can't you say something a bit nicer to your sister? I was a bit scrawny when I got back, so I'm now trying to regain my health,” Carla glared at him and answered.

”Oh, by the way, are you still busy preparing for your final exam? Do you have anything planned right now?” she asked.

Seeing that Carla's condition was improving and she was becoming livelier and even appeared to be glowing, a bright smile crept onto Sean's face as he turned to look at Terence.

”Terence sent someone over to pick me up. He told me that being holed up in my room and studying all day long wouldn't be good for me. So, I should learn how to properly balance my time between study and rest. I'm gonna head back to school this evening,” he replied.

”Oh? So, you only planned to come over in the morning?”

Carla asked, turning her head to look at Terence who was standing on the other side.

The man, who was leaning against the SUV in such a graceful way with one hand in his pocket, was giving her a wink.

Just as Carla was about to say something, she was stopped in her tracks by the noise of a car passing from behind.

When she checked who it was, Carla saw William's car driving toward their direction. From the moment he stepped out of his car, his eyes were glued to Violet who was busy getting her bag.

Given that she wasn't really expecting him to show up, Violet didn't have the chance to prepare herself. Upon noticing that he was about to approach her, she planned to leave right away by grabbing her bag.

But William had immediately taken the initiative and stood in front of her.

”Violet, why don't you just stay longer since you're already here?”

As he stood in front of her, William shot Carla and Terence as well as everyone else with them a glance. Then, he went on and suggested, ”Violet, there's a lot of other people here today, so let's not make it just about you and me. Even though we broke up, I don't see anything wrong with us meeting each other from time to time as friends. What do you say?”

Shaking his hand off of her, Violet retorted, ”Stop screwing with me! Have you seen people who broke up spending time with each other every now and then?”

It was obvious that she had no intention of doing that. They had hurt each other a lot, so it was rather hard for both of them to face each other in a calm manner.

”I guess you're right. Well, how about this? Let's just make peace and let bygones be bygones. We only had a falling-out back then, but it's all in the past. Now, it's time for us to move on.” William stated as he held her hand and pulled her toward the group, not giving Violet a chance to say anything back.
