At Construction Road of Sioux…
“Lucian, don’t be upset. Freya is just worried about Aunt Dixie. Neither of you did anything wrong.”
Once they left the villa, Tammy noticed Lucian’s somber expression and tried to console him.
“I’m not mad at your sister.” “I’m just upset because the Creek family broke their promise.”
“Last night, they assured me that they would give Aunt Dixie the key today, but they handed it to the Robertson family instead.”
Lucian’s expression remained stern as he explained the situation.
Tammy stopped in her tracks, turning to face Lucian. “Lucian, there’s no way the – Creek family would agree to something like that. It’s just the two of us here. Don’t try to deceive me.”
Tammy was skeptical of what Lucian said.
In her eyes, the Creek family was a powerful force in Sioux, and they wouldn’t agree to Lucian’s request.
She thought Lucian made up the story to save himself from embarrassment.
Lucian chose not to explain further and continued walking.
“Lucian, I can tell you’re not in a good mood. How about we go shopping and come back in the evening? Freya won’t be upset by then.”
Tammy suggested going out to improve Lucian’s mood.
Lucian didn’t have any plans later and wasn’t keen on going home, so he reluctantly nodded.
The pair decided to go to a bustling shopping mall. Tammy, like most women, enjoyed shopping. She went to clothing stores, jewelry shops, and shoe outlets, trying on various outfits and shoes.
Eventually, Tammy bought an affordable pair of shoes.
Do all women have such great stamina for shopping?
Lucian, despite his strong physical strength, found himself tired from walking, while Tammy was still energetic, which made Lucian admire her.
“Hey, Tammy, is that you?”
At that moment, five or six people around Tammy’s age passed by and spotted her with a mixture of surprise and joy.
Tammy was equally delighted to see them and joined her old college friends, engaging in shared reminiscences.
Lucian remained on the sidelines, listening to their conversation. He found out that they were former classmates who shared a close bond. After graduation, their work distanced them, but their – unexpected reunion brought joy to them.
“Tammy, today is the grand opening of Eric’s Boxing Gym. There’s an exhibition match scheduled. We’ve been invited to attend. Eric is a boxing prodigy with incredible strength. The exhibition match is bound to be exhilarating.”
One of Tammy’s female classmates, Audrey, grabbed Tammy’s hands and asked.
Upon hearing Eric’s name, Tammy’s demeanor appeared to shift slightly. She shook her head gently and responded, “He called me the day before yesterday, but I declined…”
“Come on, let’s go together. It’s been so -long since we last met. It’s a rare chance to reunite.”
Audrey gave Tammy’s hand a gentle shake, her eyes pleading.
Other classmates chimed in and invited Tammy to join them at the boxing gym. Outnumbered, Tammy found it hard to refuse their enthusiastic gestures. She subconsciously turned her gaze toward Lucian, silently asking, “Will you come with me?”
Lucian saw these classmates as mere kids and wasn’t interested in attending a boxing gym exhibition. Nevertheless, he had no intention of stopping Tammy from reuniting with her friends. After all, school friendships were precious.
Thinking about this, a hint of sorrow flickered in Lucian’s eyes.
It reminded him of his three siblings who hadn’t seen each other for seven years, unwilling to acknowledge each other.
Lucian wanted Tammy to cherish her friendship and then told her, “Tammy, enjoy your time with your classmates. If you need anything, just give me a call.”
As Lucian was about to leave, Tammy grabbed his arm emotionally, a hint of complaint in her tone. “You’re my boyfriend, how can you just abandon me like this? I don’t care, you must come with me.”
Lucian was taken aback, his mind reeling from Tammy’s unexpected words. He didn’t expect such a response from her.
Not only was Lucian surprised, but even Audrey and her old classmates were also dumbfounded. As far as they knew, Tammy had never been in a relationship during college. Despite having many admirers, she had never pursued a romantic relationship. Rumors even
circulated that Tammy was uninterested in men altogether.
And now, shortly after graduation, she had a boyfriend?
The next moment, everyone’s attention shifted to Lucian, scrutinizing him with keen interest. His attire was ordinary, and – he didn’t appear to be particularly young. He must be around thirty years old. This made the group even more surprised.
Tammy was beautiful and had a good job, yet she was now with an older man.
“Tammy, is this your boyfriend?” Audrey asked with astonishment.
“Yes, he’s my boyfriend.”
Tammy clung to Lucian’s arm tightly and confirmed her statement.
Lucian glanced at Tammy with a mixture of disbelief and shock, bewildered by her sudden approach. His questioning gaze fixed on her, silently asking what kind of trick she was playing. –
“Oh, is that so? He doesn’t seem all that impressive,” Audrey commented, her eyes harboring a hint of disdain.
“As long as I like him,” Tammy replied. firmly.
“In that case, why don’t you bring your boyfriend along to Eric’s boxing gym?” Audrey suggested after a moment of thought.
“Sure,” Tammy responded casually.
And so, the group set off on their way!
On their journey, Lucian and Tammy trailed behind the rest. Lucian turned to her and asked, “Tammy, what are you doing? I’m your brother-in-law…”
Before Lucian could finish, Tammy immediately hushed him, then glanced at the classmates walking ahead and explained with an embarrassed expression, “Lucian, just do me this favor, just pretend to be my boyfriend this once. It’s about getting rid of a follower named Eric, the guy who opened this boxing gym. He pursued me during school and has been bothering me since graduation. He has an extreme personality, every time I reject his advances, he threatens to commit suicide…”
It dawned on Lucian that Tammy had asked him to pose as her boyfriend to shake off her persistent suitor, Eric. Tammy’s tone revealed her hatred toward Eric. –
Lucian agreed to help Tammy for Freya’s sake.
“Lucian, don’t worry, I won’t tell Freya about this,” Tammy swore.
“It’s fine, even if you tell your sister, I’m not concerned. After all, you’re just a kid to me,” Lucian replied nonchalantly, his expression calm.
Upon hearing this, Tammy appeared embarrassed, casting Lucian a blank glance before falling silent.
At Iron Fist Gym…
The gym was owned by Eric, Tammy’s persistent admirer. Although not particularly spacious, the gym boasted tasteful decor and was bustling with activity. As they entered, the resounding cheers of the crowd welcomed them, creating a lively atmosphere accompanied by enthusiastic applause from the spectators.
Eric was currently engaged in an exhibition match against a boxer. The fight appeared intense, but in reality, it was all a staged performance.
The parents were unaware of what was happening, but they found it to be an exhilarating scene. Therefore, they applauded and cheered.
While Tammy and Audrey stood amidst – the crowd, cheering and applauding, Lucian positioned himself a bit apart, his arms folded, observing Eric intently. In Lucian’s opinion, this “boxing prodigy” was nothing more than an illusion. His skills were not extraordinary; they were merely tricks.
Lucian believed that in an actual fight, anyone with a little skill could defeat this man in just a few moves. To Lucian, this display was like child’s play, utterly pointless.
The show concluded shortly thereafter.
Parents flocked to register their children and pay fees. In just half an hour, Eric earned an impressive amount of over $100,000.
Spotting his old classmate Tammy, Eric approached her, grinning from ear to ear. He boasted, “Tammy, you see, my boxing gym is thriving. We’ve had numerous sign-ups today, and we’re on track to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
“Not bad,” Tammy responded casually.
“Hahaha, would you consider becoming the owner of my boxing gym?” Eric teased.
Audrey interjected with an odd tone, “Eric, save your breath. Tammy isn’t the same as before. She brought her boyfriend with her, so you don’t stand a chance now!”
Audrey’s mood was also soured by the news of Tammy’s boyfriend. Eric had promised her a generous reward if she helped him win over Tammy. Now that Tammy had a boyfriend, how could she be in a good mood?
He wished he could harm Lucian right then and there. “Audrey, what are you talking about? How could Tammy have a boyfriend? She’s been waiting to date me.”
Eric, however, refused to believe Audrey’s words. In his mind, Tammy had never dated anyone all these years; she had simply been waiting for him. How could she suddenly have a boyfriend?
– “Eric, Audrey is right. I have a boyfriend,” Tammy asserted, pulling Lucian closer and introducing him to Eric, “This is my boyfriend, Lucian!”
