Chapter 609 An Accident

It was one afternoon when Yelena bought roasted pork trotters after school and was enjoying it when

she suddenly noticed one of her classmates being bullied by a burly man on the road.

Without any hesitation, she sprang into action and rushed over to help. She grabbed the pork trotter

and threw it at the man. Unfortunately, it hit Federick in the face. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The pork trotter was quite big as she had only taken a few bites out of it before it knocked Federick out.

However, the commotion was enough to scare off the bully who quickly fled the scene. In a way, Yelena

had indirectly saved Federick.

At the school's award ceremony, Yelena and Federick stood on stage with contrasting expressions.

Federick had his face bandaged up while Yelena looked somewhat embarrassed.

He was only receiving the award because of Yelena's heroic actions, despite the fact that she was the

one who accidentally hit him in the face with the pork trotters and scared away the bully.

As the saying went, 'No good deed goes unpunished.' In this case, her kind gesture ended up being

misunderstood, and the entire school learned of Federick's unfortunate encounter with the pork trotter.

On the stage, Yelena nervously asked, "Are you okay?"

"Still alive. Thanks for asking," he replied in irritation.

She knew that he wasn't seriously injured, but she still felt guilty about the whole incident.

Federick's good looks made him popular at school, and after the incident, some girls approached

Yelena and accused her of ruining his face. However, they vanished as quickly as they had come, and

she was never bothered again.

Thinking that these girls had a change of heart, she let the matter slide. "I'll cover all your medical

expenses," she told Federick. Yelena was known as the wealthy heiress of the Sullivans and had more

than enough money to spare, while Federick was often seen wearing simple white shirts, leading

people to assume that he came from a poor family.

Despite her mischievous behavior, Yelena still knew how to make things right.

"That's not necessary."

She became anxious and raised her voice. "Why not? Your face is ruined. I am responsible for you."

At that moment, the school leader had just finished his speech and was about to invite the heroic

individual to speak.

However, as soon as the microphone was turned, her words were heard. "I am responsible for you."

Instantly, the entire auditorium was in an uproar.

Yelena turned around embarrassedly and saw Federick's red face turning a shade deeper.

Some people even started whistling flirtatiously, and one person shouted for them to get together.

The principal quickly moved the microphone and cleared his throat to restore order.

"Quiet!"

The students fell silent and Yelena made a brief statement. She clearly heard people whispering and

even making impolite laughter while she was speaking.

As a usually calm person, Federick almost dropped the microphone when it was his turn.

"I don't have much to say. This was just an accident."

However, no one dared to ridicule him because of his status.

After this incident, rumors about the relationship between the two began to spread throughout the

school.

However, Yelena soon disappeared for a while and she dropped out of school when she returned.

From then on, the two of them hardly had any contact.

As Yelena reminisced, she looked at his face and suddenly felt embarrassed. "I'm really sorry about

what happened back then. It was an accident that I hit your face."

Federick smiled and wasn't angry. "I know. I didn't blame you, did I?"

Yelena muttered in her heart, He said he didn't blame me, but back then he practically rolled his eyes to

the sky.

The atmosphere became relaxed after their conversation. They went to the restaurant and sat down at

their reserved table. Federick took the menu and ordered the dishes without even asking for her

opinion. However, what surprised her was that despite not asking for her preferences, almost all the

dishes he ordered were her favorites.

Yelena was touched. "I didn't expect you to remember what I like to eat."

Federick looked at her coldly. "Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

So frustrating, she thought.

After the dishes were served, she buried her head and ate silently because she was still angry.

Federick noticed that her mood wasn't good and she was trying to eat her anger away. However, he

didn't want to bother her, so he simply smiled and didn't say anything.

Only after the meal did he ask Yelena, "How are you guys doing?"

Yelena was just immersed in sadness and was suddenly stimulated by his question. "What do you

mean?"

"I mean, how is your relationship with Hank developing?"

He tried to make his words sound objective so that she wouldn't detect anything unusual.

"Oh, you mean Hank and me? We get along well and our relationship is going smoothly. We just got

engaged recently, and maybe we will get married."

She stirred her coffee with a spoon, looking clearly unhappy.

Federick said, "You're getting married. But you don't look so happy?"

"I didn't plan on getting married so soon, but Hank and his family are eager for it. So, we decided to get

married next year," she explained.

Yelena was at the peak of her career and didn't want to give up her work to focus on family yet, but

Hank was really fond of her and wanted to be together as soon as possible.

Federick furrowed his brows and disagreed. "But you're in a rising period of your career. Are you willing

to easily give it up for marriage?"

She sighed, looking like a wilted plant. "I don't really want to, but I don't want to disappoint him either."

"Disappoint him? This is your career we're talking about. If you give it up to be with him, you won't be

the Yelena he fell in love with," Federick reminded her.

He suppressed the smile he had maintained for a long time, and his expression gradually turned

displeased.

"Yeah, I know how much support Hank has given me in my work. It's hard to believe he would put an

end to my dream because of this situation." Yelena's eyes lit up at the thought and her excitement

faded quickly as she continued, "Even though that's the case, but... I'll go back and have a proper

discussion with him."

Federick looked at her shining eyes like a little puppy. He was unable to resist the urge to reach out

and touch her hair.

He did what he felt like, but the moment his hand touched her, he heard a cold voice beside him.

"What are you doing?"
