Chapter 436: She Definitely Should Not Have Come

It was so awkward that she compared Mark, a nice man, to the devil.

"Well, Mark. It's you."

Elaine believed that her smile at this moment must be really ugly.

"Did you come out so early because you were thinking of having dinner with me? I'm glad you valued
our date."

Date... Elaine's heart skipped a beat.

'Date? Is this a date?'

If she had known that a meal would be called a date, she would not have agreed.

Elaine did not know what to say, so she could only rubbed her left shoe against the ground and smiled
in embarrassment.

"Come on. I'll walk you back to your dorm so that you can change clothes."

Mark suddenly snatched Elaine's book, leaving her in confusion. When she realized, there was nothing
in her hand. Mark's delicate eyes glanced at Elaine, "Let's go, or do you want to stand here forever?"

"OK."

Elaine could only pout with her head lowered when she followed behind Mark in the campus.

Suddenly Mark chuckled softly.

Elaine was a little surprised, "Mark, what are you laughing at?"

'Is there anything wrong with me?'



Elaine inexplicably looked down at her clothes.

Mark turned around and smiled at Elaine tenderly. "I was thinking that if my friends saw you following
me, they would be so surprised."

...

Elaine blushed and plucked up her courage, saying, "Mark, actually I don't think I should go to dinner
with you. I don't think it's appropriate..."

"I don't think so."

"What?"

"I think it's very appropriate for you, other than someone else, to come with me."

Mark looked deeply at Elaine. His gaze was so burning that Elaine did not dare to look at him. She
could only lower her head and quicken her pace.

Now, instead of Mark, it was Elaine who was leading the way.

Elaine walked quickly, as if she wanted to rob something.

Elaine opened the door in bewilderment. Mark naturally followed her in and then calmly sat on the sofa.
"I'll wait here when you change your clothes."

"OK."

Elaine glanced at Mark and ran into her bedroom upstairs in panic.

'What should I do? Am I really going to eat with Mark? I'm flustered.'



Elaine held her phone and quickly dialed a number.

Just as she was about to dial the phone, she was stunned.

'Why would I want to ask Emmett for help first?'

This super lucky number belonged to Emmett.

Elaine lowered her hand and mumbled, "I'm so useless".

She had already broken up with Emmett, and it was her that made this decision. Now that their
relationships were over, why would she still want to contact Emmett?

So embarrassing!

"No! Elaine, do you even realize how embarrassed you are? It's self-abandonment! Forget about the
past! Start over! "

Elaine leaned her head against the mirror and hypnotized herself over and over again.

Half an hour later, Elaine finally went downstairs.

Mark had already flipped through their magazines many times.

"Done? Are we setting off now?"

Mark stood up and looked at Elaine, his heart beating wildly.

So beautiful!

She was so beautiful that it made his heart beat with excitement when she dressed up a little bit.

...



Elaine replied softly. Seeing Mark's burning gaze at her, she felt a little embarrassed again.

She deliberately chose plain clothes. After all, this was all Emmett's fault. The clothes he bought for her
were all international brands. It took her a long time for choosing clothing that was unpretentious.

With great difficulty, she dressed up ordinarily, leaving her long hair down.

She wore a simple pink hairpin in case her hair would dance in the air and cover her eyes.

And the bangs were cute.

However, Mark was still amazed by her ordinary look.

"It's my honor to take you out to dinner. You're beautiful."

Mark kept on praising Elaine, making her blushed and even more uneasy.

Now that she reminded that although Bad-bear was very violent towards others, she was really relaxed
in front of him.

Back then, everything was simple and real.

She didn't need to disguise herself as a lady in front of Bad-bear. She could do whatever she wanted,
and didn't have to worry about anything.

But when she was with Mark, she would always spontaneously warn herself that she had to behave
appropriately.

Always paying attention to her behaviors was so tiring.

Why didn't she notice this when she was with Bad-bear?



That's weird.

Mark extended a hand towards Elaine, waiting for her to hold it.

Elaine was stunned for a moment and subconsciously hid her two small hands behind her back.

Mark was surprised, but he still stretched out his hand.

Elaine bit her lower lip and couldn't hold on any longer, "Mark... I still don't think I should go..."

"Elaine, I'll be so sad if you keep saying this. Come on, my princess."

Mark gave up holding her hand. Instead, he held her in arms.

"Mark... please... I can walk on my own..."

Elaine stuttered.

Her face rested on Mark's chest and she heard his strong heartbeat. It beats so fast.

Elaine stole a peek at Mark and saw him smile with happiness.

'Is it happiness?'

...

As soon as Elaine followed Mark into the private room, she realized that she definitely should not have
come!

The moment people inside saw Elaine, they were all silent. Then they burst into a chaotic applause and
teasing sound.

"Attention, Mark brings her girlfriend here!"



"Mark, your girl has been hidden for so long! What are you thinking?"

"That's right, Mark. You've always acted like nothing. How do you explain this?"

Elaine instantly blushed, regretting the decision she made.

If she had known that these people were so feverish, she really shouldn't have come.

"Well... I'm not... I'm not Mark's..."

Elaine clumsily tried to explain. But they were very excited, no one would listen to her.

Mark waved his hand, and smiled with pride. "Alright, calm down. You're going to scare Elaine."

"Look at how nervous you are! She's stronger than you think."

"Mark has really changed. When did he become this thoughtful?"

"Mark, please. Stop boasting..."

Elaine's forehead was all of a sweat.

Mark glared at a few guys who were making a fuss. After finally controlled the atmosphere, he pulled
Elaine to sit inside.

There were only two other girls that seemed very experienced. They came with their own men and
looked very generous. They smiled at Elaine.

Elaine, on the other hand, was in a sweat and primly smiled back.

'It's so uncomfortable...'



"Ignore them. Here, eat something. You must be hungry."

Mark protected Elaine and considerately put food on to Elaine's plate.

Immediately, a man said jokingly, "Mark! I'm also very hungry. Why don't you feed me, too?"

Mark glanced fiercely at him.

The man giggled.

The people on the table all stared at Elaine, as if they were looking at a monster.

A woman who could take Mark down was definitely not ordinary!

The girl Mark was with before was the one who chased Mark fervently. When they were having dinner
together, that girl always fawned on Mark. Mark was not very happy and was always indifferent.

...

As for this girl, they could tell from Mark's nervous expression that he cared about her.

Elaine wished she could dig her head into the table, or smash a hole in the table with her face.

Gradually, these people had shifted their attention to other topics. They seemed to forget about Elaine.

Only then did Elaine relieve from the bottom of her heart.

"Here, eat this. Taste it, it's good."

Mark put his face close to her ear and whispered softly, occasionally giving Elaine a gentle look.

"OK."



Elaine was flattered and somewhat overwhelmed.

She could only eat like crazy, but the taste buds seemed to have gone off, unable to taste at all.

The door suddenly opened.

Three people came in.

The entire room stopped their movements.

"Well, look who I invited! Everyone, you will be surprised!"

A guy who had just gone out to the bathroom smiled excitedly. Two people were invited in.

The first one was some political figure Elaine had seen on TV.

Behind him was a tall and handsome man. Elaine raised her head and when she saw the man, she
choked and began to cough awkwardly.
