Chapter 302: A Dog is a Human's Most Faithful Friend The change in Nicholas' attitude made Reece wonder what had happened.

The following day, Nicholas bragged in class that he had kissed Kate, describing her as sweet and tender, with lips as fragrant and soft as jelly.

To everyone's surprise, Kate didn't show up for class that day.

Reece, however, remembered the kiss he had shared with Kate on the sofa. Just like what Nicholas said, it had been sweet and had a texture even better than jelly.

Why? Why would she kiss Nicholas? Did Kate actually like that scumbag? Fueled by anger, Reece once again ran to the Zamora Villa and positioned himself beneath Kate's window. Her room's balcony was adorned with succulents, making it easy to identify.

Reece, like a fool, loudly questioned her from below, asking why she had kissed another guy. Onlookers from the neighborhood gathered around. Sensing a chilling and disapproving gaze behind him, Reece turned around to find Eddie, who had returned from school.

Eddie was dressed in a white hoodie with black suit pants, and his chestnut short hair shone like gold in the sunlight. His fair and warm face carried a faint, enigmatic smile. He elegantly closed the long- handled umbrella he was carrying, meticulously straightening out the folds on top.

Reece, unconsciously, covered his chest with his hand. He had two broken ribs, and the doctor had advised him to rest in bed. Still, he had insisted on coming to school. His father was so moved, thinking he was dedicated to his studies.

In reality, Reece had cto school only to seek Cheyenne's help in dealing with Nicholas and his gang, intending to enjoy s. However, as soon as he arrived, he discovered that Kate hadn't shown up for class.

Both he and Kate had followed Cheyenne since elementary school, but Kate was absent today, so Reece ran to Kate's house with his injuries to find her.

On the upper floor, Reece's shout, "Why did you kiss another guy?" disturbed Kate. She had been repeatedly cleaning her lips with face wash and alcohol since returning hlast night. Inadvertently, her lips got chapped, leaving her lips swollen and red, making they look lik sausages.

Kate, who naturally cared about her appearance and was sensitive to external perceptions due to her adolescence, couldn't possibly attend class with such unattractive lips. So, she lied to her brother, Eddie, saying she had been stung by a hoand was experiencing an allergic reaction, requesting three days off.

In reality, in Kate's mind, Nicholas' mouth was more foul-smelling than a sewer. Kissing him, even if it was just a peck, made her feel as disgusted as if she had eaten feces.

Now, Reece's loud shout not only made her brother know she was lying, but the neighbors around as well know that her lips were swollen from kissing a boy.

The window on the second floor suddenly flung open, revealing a figure in a pink cartoon mask, wearing a white floral nightgown, with long hair cascading around her shoulders. She looked almost ghostly.

With a roar directed at him below, she exclaimed, “Reece, you're such a damn fool!" After her outburst, Kate slammed the window shut with a "thud." Eddie, holding an umbrella, approached Reece, casting a disdainful look and asking, “You're not leaving yet? Waiting forto beat you up?” “Uh... I, I... I'll cback to see Kate another time," Reece stammered.

As Reece recovered from Kate's roar, he faced a verbal threat from Eddie.

Dragging his 150-pound self away, he moved slowly, almost shuffling, like an old dog nearing the end of its days. Kate peeked out of the second-floor window, her lips curving in a mischievous grin. "Silly." When Reece returned to school, he found out that Cheyenne, with the help of her gang, had cornered Nicholas in the alley near the school and given him a thorough beating. According to Cheyenne, she hadn't hit him too hard, just a few broken ribs more than Reece.

Reece was moved to tears and immediately pledged his loyalty.

Cheyenne, on the other hand, gave him a disdainful look, exhaled a bluish puff of smoke from her crimson lips, and said, "Alright, I get it. Dogs are a man's best friend." The next day, Nicholas transferred to another school.

As for what Kate and Reece had talked about that day when they went out, it remained a "mystery” in Reece's mind for a while.

Kate returned to school after a week but initially gave Reece the cold shoulder. It took daily coaxing with snacks for them to reconcile.

The thrilling events led Reece to take his fitness seriously. He gave all his snacks to Cheyenne and Kate, two girls who seemed immune to gaining weight.

In his freshman year of high school, Reece shed 20 pounds, going from 150 to 130 pounds, thanks to Cheyenne's "intense training." Moreover, he experienced a growth spurt, shooting up from 5'5" to 5'7".

In high school, he grew another 4 inches, allowing him to look down on Kate. She could no longer taunt him about being short.

With his successful weight loss, Reece becan object of admiration for many girls, and other girls began to appear in his life.

Kate often "coincidentally" caught him talking and laughing with other girls.

During the college entrance examination, he proposed that the three of them should go to Akbolt College together, but Kate rejected his proposal, claiming she was tired of his face and wanted to go to the technical institute to find handsguys.

Later on, it was Cheyenne and Eddie who persuaded her to apply for Akloit College and they all ended up attending the scollege. When they first entered college, Reece quickly caught the eye of a girl from the design department and they got together.

Every tReece invited Kate to dinner, he would bring his girlfriend along.

On several occasions, that girl secretly warned Kate to stay away from him.

She agreed and stopped accepting his invitations, choosing to join andlub with Graeme, effectively creating distance between her and Reece. It wasn't until he entered the entertainment industry that their relationship beceven more distant. However, every tthey met, they couldn't help but tease each other.
