Chapter 6
“Excuse me? Nathan is Jacob’s uncle? What are the chances?” Caroline thought in despair.
“Uncle Nathan, this is my classmate, Caroline. Caroline has had a crush on me for while now, and she
even wrote me a love letter today. Here, I’ll read it out to you,” Jacob continued as he took a letter out
from his pocket.
Caroline was stunned. She never wrote any love letters to Jacob!
It must be a prank pulled by one of their classmates. Someone must have written. Jacob a letter and
signed it off as her.
She was still bewildered as Jacob began to read out the letter with-a-dramatic flair, “Dear Mr. Faraday, I
really, really like you. I like how se xy your lips look, and I wish I could k*ss’em. I also love your six-
pack, and I want to take your clothes off. I don’t have the best looks, but I can be the beast of your
beauty. Please let me be your girlfriend. With love, Caroline, the Scary Cary.”
Caroline was rendered speechless.
She raised her head and glanced in the direction of the driver’s seat to see Nathan’s reaction. To her

They locked eyes.

Caroline’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She did not dare to meet his gaze, because as soon as she
did, she was reminded of the way he looked at her that night in the hotel while clutching her waist.
His gaze had been burning with ferocity then, the kind a man would normally
reserve for his own woman.
Caroline quickly averted her eyes and snat ched the love letter out of Jacob’s hand. “Shut up, will you?”
she snapped internally.
In truth, Jacob had noticed Caroline a while ago. Almost everyone at Talia University made fun of her,
but she remained indifferent to them, which made her special.
“I didn’t think you were so madly in love with me, Scary Cary. You know what; I think we should start
going out. You can be my girlfriend from now on.” With that, Jacob put his arm around Caroline’s
shoulder.
Caroline was just about to shove him aside when the car suddenly screeched to a halt. It was only then
that she realized Nathan had pulled up by the roadside.
