Chapter 323: Appreciation
Purple Summers was slightly embarrassed, feeling as if she’d been caught red- handed.
“Young Master Graves.” She pretended to be surprised and turned her head, walking over. “How come you’re here?”
“Just picking someone up.” Grey asked her with a smile, “It’s so cold today, why are you girls in your school still wearing skirts? Kids should dress warmly. If you catch a cold, you might suffer later in life.”
His tone sounded like an elder.
“I’m wearing something warm underneath.” Purple Summers said with a smile, “Although it’s a pair of stockings, these are actually thermal leggings, not worse than your coat.”
Girls in Grey’s uniform had skirts on their lower half and had to wear thick leggings in winter.
Gavin Graves’s gaze swept under her skirt.
Purple Summers had a pair of delicate, straight long legs, neither too thin nor too bulky, with evenly distributed curves that looked nice.
She was beautiful with delicate features all around, not only her legs, but also her pure and lovely little face, which was even more radiant and extraordinary. Her skin was as white as snow, her lips as red as peach petals, and she was as soft and tender as a flower bud, which made people adore her.
As Gavin Graves looked at her, her bright, clear eyes and gently smiling pink lips caught his attention.
Gavin immediately averted his gaze, realizing he had just zoned out for a moment.
That was rare indeed.
Perhaps it was because Purple Summers was always calm and composed, a little different from the typical sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
“I think I still owe you a favor.” Gavin Graves suddenly brought up their agreement, asking her with a warm and steady voice, “Have you thought about how I can fulfill it?”
Purple Summers laughed, “You’ve already fulfilled it. I informed Mr. Williams, and he said he would help me get it done.”
Hearing her words, Gavin smiled, his deep eyes serene and calm, “Lester Williams is reliable. Ms. Summers, you can rest assured.”
As the two were talking, a figure suddenly interrupted, standing right between them!
“Young Master Graves!”
Bella Foster hooked her arm around Gavin Graves’, her curly hair carrying the scent of rose perfume, which was particularly noticeable blended with the cold air.
Purple Summers felt the scent was too strong and unconsciously took a step back.
It seemed that Bella Foster hadn’t even noticed Purple Summers and spoke in a sweet and crispy voice, “Young Master Graves, let’s go! If we’re late, auntie will be upset.”
Gavin Graves looked at Purple Summers.
“Young Master Graves, go ahead with your business. I’ll be off now.” Purple Summers was very tactful, and as soon as Bella Foster appeared, she took the initiative to say goodbye to Gavin Graves.
Gavin Graves did indeed have something to do today. His mother wanted to celebrate Christmas like Westerners and asked him to pick up Bella Foster to go together to order Christmas dinner outfits.
“Alright, see you next time.” Gavin Graves said.
Purple Summers smiled, turned around, and left. Her steps were light, her long hair fluttering, and the sparkling snowflakes rippled around her, making her figure look extraordinarily graceful.
Gavin Graves felt a slight stirring in his heart, thinking this young girl was graceful and virtuous, and he liked it.
It was just a pity that she was still too young.
At this thought, Gavin Graves dismissed the fleeting speculation.
… Never mind.
He wouldn’t take advantage of a child.
Gavin Graves remembered Purple Summers’ clear and peaceful eyes when she looked at him, not showing fear or seeking favor. Such a girl would have a bright future, and if she really followed him, she would only be buried in obscurity.
Gavin Graves believed he had a certain appreciation for talent.
He admired Purple Summers and could help her from other aspects. He didn’t necessarily have to make Purple Summers his own woman, as that would compromise her potential.
When he got back into the car, Gavin Graves pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and called Lester Williams.
“What did Ms. Summers ask you to do for her?” He asked.
On the other side of the phone, Lester Williams was somewhat surprised.
Although Gavin Graves had not formally taken his position as head of the family yet, he was in charge of everything in the Graves family. Naturally, once things were delegated, others would handle them, and he wouldn’t inquire about every single thing. But unexpectedly, today he called to inquire specifically about the matter Purple Summers had handed over.
Lester Williams was puzzled but still reported truthfully, “Ms. Summers asked me to find someone.”
