Chapter 435
Marve smiled faintly but said nothing.
Conner turned and left, with Edward hurrying to catch up.
As the sky darkened, the trainees were so worn out from the intense training that they barely had the energy
y to eat.
“My legs feel like they’re not even me anymore…
“It’s all Maeve’s fault. If she’d just danced earlier, we wouldn’t have to go through this! Why is she so stubborn with her pride?
The female trainees kept complaining, but Maeve had already disappeared.
Zander was puzzled. He asked, “What’s wrong with Mr. Jefferson? Is he messing with us, or is he just fucking insane? Yeah, be’s definitely insane!
Mason put down his cutlery and cleaned up his tray. Zander noticed and was stunned, “Hey! Is that all you’re eating?”
ignoring him, Mason checked the time and headed to the training ground.
He arrived 15 minutes early, but suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Thinking it was Maeve, Mason turned around, but to his surprise, it was Gathy.
She looked a bit awkward as she asked, “You. Are you waiting for someone here?
“That’s none of your business.”
As Mason was about to leave, Cathy grabbed his arm. “Are you waiting for Maeve?”
Mason frowned and shook off her hand. “We’re not close, so stay out of my business.”
“We’re neighbors, and we grew up together. I just don’t want you to be deceived by a woman like Maeve!
“She’s married, has a husband, and still messes around with other men! How can you
tall for a woman like her?”
“Shut up!”
Before Mason could respond, Maeve walked over. I thought Ms. Burns was the most dignified and proud among the trainees. I didn’t expect you to gossip behind people’s backs. Guess I was wrong.”
Seeing Maeve approach, Cathy frowned. “Mason, so you were waiting for her after all!
“Are you two dating? Maeve asked.
“No.” Mason bluntly denied it.
Cathy added, “Maeve, I’ve told you before, Mason can’t have a girlfriend. Stay away from hi
“Don’t pigeonhole him. Who are you to decide what he can or can’t do?”
“You” Cathy, usually not one for arguments, found herself at a loss for words.
Mason grabbed Marve’s arm and pulled her away. He said coldly, “You don’t have to reason with irrelevant people.”
“Mason! Your mom won’t be happy about this!”
“What does this have to do with you?”
Mason frowned and continued to lead Maeve to the other side of the training ground
Maeve remarked, “Actually, you don’t have to be so harsh on Cathy. She clearly has a crush on you.”
Mason glanced at her indifferently and replied, “If you’re here to talk about pointless matters, then we can end this conversation now.”
