?Chapter 481:


    Suddenly, with a swift movement of his arm, Marvin drew Baylee close and embraced her firmly. His hold resembled that of a mighty dragon fiercely protecting its treasure, filled with intense anticipation and possessiveness.


    He nestled his face against her neck and coaxed her. “Baylee, you’re not dating anyone right now. How about giving me a chance?”


    Baylee found herself involuntarily tightening her fists.


    She had suffered betrayal from Quincy, which led to the ruin of her family.


    Once bitten, twice shy.


    Shecked the courage for a second attempt.


    Baylee confessed that she didn’t dislike Marvin at all. In fact, she started to feel a warm connection to him as they spent more time together.


    He reced her whiskey with milk and juice, because drinking was bad for her health.


    He showed no mercy to his enemies and was tough on his subordinates, but he had always treated her with kindness.


    It was as if he would always be there to watch over her.


    However, the man before her was the powerful Marvin.


    He was too dangerous.


    Baylee’s instincts whispered that it might be wise to limit her interactions with him. Spending a month with Marvin had been enough for her.


    Baylee remained silent, wearing a stern expression, determined not to give in.


    “Then I’ll pursue you,” Marvin added. “Even if you don’t allow me to do so, I will still pursue you.”


    Baylee snorted in anger. “Whatever. I’ll head back to the dorm, and you can leave on your own. Make sure you don’t disrupt the school’s rules once more.”


    “I won’t leave,” Marvin refused without hesitation.


    What was the point of him going back alone?

    “Aren’t you going to pursue me? Have you forgotten the basic principle of pursuing a girl?” Baylee asked, her face devoid of emotion.


    “What basic principle?” Marvin had never chased after someone before, so he waspletely clueless.


    “You should listen to me.” After talking nonsense, Baylee turned around and was about to leave.


    “Wait.” Marvin grabbed her wrist.


    “What are you doing? Don’t follow me. I’ll get mad.” Baylee’s face twisted with a brewing storm of anger as she frowned.


    “I will leave after we have dinner together,” Marvin ventured.


    He couldn’t allow Baylee to leave at that moment. If she headed back now, there was a good chance she’d cross paths with Kaiden.


    “Are you bargaining with me?” asked Baylee.


    Marvin simply gazed at her in silence, resembling a dog scolded by its owner without understanding why.


    Baylee, feeling ufortable under his gaze, gave in and said, “Okay, let’s have dinner together. You must leave then.”
