True Love Waits novel Chapter 1142

The man in front of Erica was just average-looking. He was less than 1.75 meters tall and had single eyelids. He was wearing thick glasses with a black frame, a dark red plaid coat, and a pair of dark blue canvas shoes with white soles.

On his wrist was a bracelet made of south red agates. It was a gift from Erica on his 18th birthday. He had been wearing it since then.

Hyatt timidly smiled while he said, "I just transferred to this school. Actually, I'm also in the Department of Photography like you."

Erica was taken aback for a few moments. She blinked her eyes a few times, refusing to believe what she just heard. However, what she knew for sure was that it was not good news to see him in her school. Placing a small smile on her face, Erica composed herself. "Dude, I married someone from this city so I didn't have a choice but to continue my studies here. But you, didn't you have a great life in A Country? Why did you insist on coming to Y City? Does your mother know about this?"

"She knows," Hyatt plainly responded.

"Did she approve of it?" she wondered. There was no way his mother would agree to something like this.

Hyatt shook his head in embarrassment. "No, I transferred by myself."

'I knew it!' Erica exclaimed in her mind. She then flicked his forehead. "I didn't expect that you would have the guts to do that. I couldn't transfer to another school by myself. How did you do it?"

Hyatt rubbed his head where she had playfully flicked him. With uttermost honesty, he said, "My uncle is a professor of this school so I asked him for help."

"Well, that's just great! I guess your mother will not only hate me, but she'll also beat me to death the next time she sees me! There's no doubt about it!" Erica helplessly rolled her eyes at him.

Back in A Country, Hyatt had ignored his mother, aka Erica's headteacher in junior high, just so he could be admitted to the Department of Photography with Erica. His mother had been so angry that she had wanted to disown him.

Now, he had actually followed her to Y City. Erica could assume that Hyatt was having a hard time before he came here. Why else would he go through all the trouble of moving to another place?

Hyatt didn't like Erica's reaction so he complained softly, "Since you left, Reese and her companions had been bullying me every single day. Not once did anyone help me. Finally, I had enough. I didn't want to be alone there. I was so scared."

Erica and Hyatt had known each other since they were in middle school. For the longest time, they had been the best of friends. They were so close that Erica would always beat him up.

But Erica never allowed any other person to bully him. She had even warned the whole student body that if anyone would dare to bully Hyatt, it meant that they were bullying her as well. And she would definitely make them pay! She vowed that they wouldn't be able to walk for weeks.

Therefore, after Erica's threat, no one dared to lay a finger on the pitiful Hyatt again.

However, since Erica suddenly disappeared in A Country, Hyatt had been bullied badly. Those who didn't dare to offend him in the past came for him the moment they were sure that Erica wasn't going to come back.

Erica realized that the Hyatt in front of her was as weak and miserable as before. It made her really furious. She slapped him on the head. "How many times have I told you not to be a weak shit of a human being? Why are you so scared? If they were bullying you, why didn't you call me? So stupid!"

Hyatt felt maltreated, so with a pout on his face, he said, "When you disappeared that year, even your father couldn't get in touch with you. So how would it have been possible for me to call you?"

He was right. Erica just remembered that when she disappeared, she changed her phone number so no one would be able to contact her.

It was only on her wedding night when Hyatt finally got in touch with her. He had just found out that she had moved to Y City because of her marriage. He didn't dare to tell her in advance that he had transferred to her school. He knew what she would say, so instead, he chose to wait for her at school. And that day, she finally showed up.

While they continued to catch up, Erica remembered one thing. "Did my brother pay you back?"

"Yes, he even gave me ten thousand more. I didn't want to accept it, but he said I always treated you to hot and sour rice noodles and wantons so he insisted that I take it. I took it but I haven't spent a single cent of it. How about I give it to you?" Erica was thankful that Hyatt was honest. He actually told her all she needed to know.
