Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 352

“Hey, I bought some bubble tea for you guys,” Easton said, handing over the drinks as the bell rang for break.

Winnie, still half-asleep, reached out and absentmindedly wrapped her arms around Easton’s hand as she took her drink. Easton stiffened, his ears turning bright red.

Winnie didn’t notice a thing; she rubbed her eyes, took a sip of the bubble tea, and grumbled, “This class is way too boring. I could barely keep my eyes open.”

Alicia smiled but didn’t take the cup. “Don’t fall asleep yet. Just one more class and we’re free.”

Winnie perked up, throwing her arms around Alicia in excitement. “Babe, you’re finally back!”

Easton stood awkwardly, still holding out the untouched cup. With Alicia refusing it, he wasn’t sure if he should take it back or just stand there.

Before he could say anything, Natalia reached over and took the bubble tea straight from Easton’s hand. “Bubble tea’s meant for someone who genuinely appreciates it. Otherwise, it’s wasted. I’ll take it—I love it.”

Alicia glanced at Natalia, noting how fiercely she seemed to defend Easton. “Fair enough. Honestly, he doesn’t need to buy me anything anymore. I’m fine without it.”

Natalia looked Alicia dead in the eye, her tone cold. “Miss Shelton, for someone of your background, without Young Master Tyrone, you’re just another orphan. Why look down on Easton just because he’s from a fishing village? You’re no better than him. At least he earned his place here by himself, while you’re just leaning on a man.”

Sensing the tension, Easton quickly tried to defuse it. “Hey, come on, don’t fight. We’re all on the same side.”
