Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045 Totally Disappointing_1 Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045 Totally Disappointing_1 Purple Summers’s face was filled with anger as she said sternly, “Mrs. Morrison, I hope you can be objective and fair when dealing with students! Don’t let personal emotions get involved!”

“I’m not letting personal emotions get involved. If one doesn’t try hard, that’s on them, if their abilities are lacking, then that’s just how it is! If he can’t stand my words, he shouldn’t have chosen to apply for the research institute!”

Victoria Morrison’s voice was cold as she continued, “In the future, after graduation, be it as a prosecutor or a lawyer, the harsh words you’ll face will be a hundred, a thousand times worse than now. If you can’t even handle this bit of grievance, what can you do in the future? Better to go home early!”

Purple Summers clenched her fists in anger, but there were many things she couldn’t say from her position.

Since Norton Young was a man, if she defended him too much, it would only make him seem weaker and more incompetent, further hurting his self-esteem.

The other students would think: Look, he doesn’t speak up for himself and relies on a woman to stand up for him! How pathetic!

Purple Summers held back her anger, watched Victoria Morrison leave, and felt awful.

Turning to look at Norton Young, he was sitting at his seat, with several classmates consoling him, “Don’t think about it anymore, Victoria Morrison is just like that. Last time Andy forgot to turn in his homework, she mocked and scorned him so much, he almost cried.”

Another student said, “Luckily it’s just for this term, next term we don’t have this class, so we probably won’t see Mrs. Morrison anymore, right?”

“What if she teaches another class?” someone else added.

Everyone’s mood suddenly dropped.

Purple Summers was also gloomy.

…

After a day of classes, Purple Summers took the bus home.

As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Taylor immediately brought her a bowl of soup to ward off the cold. Purple Summers sat down and drank the soup, spoonful by spoonful, bored out of her mind.

At that moment, Alexander Summers called.

He’d been busy this week and said he could come to Kingsley to see her only the next week.

The busier the holiday season, the busier the entertainment-related industries become, with casinos and Entertainment City bustling with various carnival festivities.

“You do your thing, I’m busy with the end of the term over here anyway,” Purple Summers sighed, “I have several papers waiting to be written.”

Feeling sympathetic, Alexander asked her, “Will next term be this busy too?”

“Pretty much, it’s easier at the start and gets tougher towards the end. Next term should include some community service activities, so there won’t be that many theoretical classes.”

As Purple Summers spoke on the phone, she chatted with him about school and also mentioned Norton Young and Victoria Morrison.

“I hope I don’t have to deal with that teacher next term,” Purple Summers sighed deeply, “Her attitude is just too bad!”

“Why did she say that the guy was trying to curry favor with you?” Alexander suddenly became alert, “How exactly was he trying to please you?”

Purple Summers chuckled, “Are you jealous?”

“Yeah.” Alexander replied matter-of-factly, “I am jealous.”

Purple Summers couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Alexander urged her, “Quick, confess, how was he trying to please you? I turn my back for a few days, and you rebel?”

“Stop it! Norton Young wasn’t trying to please me, he’s just… how do I put it, he’s just overly cautious with everyone,” Purple Summers explained to Alexander, “Like those particularly self-conscious people who instinctively try to appease others in their interactions. Norton Young is extremely friendly with every classmate, so I suppose that creates the wrong impression of him trying to suck up…”

After hearing the explanation, Alexander’s tone soured even more, “You’ve only had a few classes together, and you understand him this well? I feel like you kind of like him and are even defending him…”

“I don’t!” Purple Summers, afraid of his misunderstanding, explained, “He’s just a male classmate I’m on good terms with. If you don’t believe me…”

As she spoke, she opened the photo album on her phone, intending to flip to the class photo taken at the beginning of the semester to show Alexander.

However, as she found the picture and saw Norton Young’s honest and simple smile among the crowd, her actions froze.

Why did she want to show Alexander the photo?

Was it because Norton Young was overweight, not good-looking, and she wanted to prove she couldn’t possibly like him that way?

In an instant, Purple Summers felt utterly terrible.

Her actions, weren’t they just like those girls who had invited Norton Young to play Santa Claus?
