Chapter 22 

Cheryl was on the verge of exploding with anger 

What was with Nathan’s attitude? It was like tutoring her was somehow disgusting to him. 

Her rebellious side flared up instantly. 

“Fine, I’ve changed my mind. Go ahead and teach me. I’ve got so much I don’t understand, you’ll be explaining it for days.” 

Nathan couldn’t help but laugh at how puffed up she looked. 

Fine, if she wanted to learn, he’d teach. He organized his thoughts and then began the lesson. 

Nathan’s perfect score in the most recent math exam proved that he had completely mastered the high school math syllabus. 

On top of that, with the communication skills he developed in his later life, he was able to explain things in a way that was even simpler and more understandable than the teacher’s -lessons. Cheryl found it easier to grasp the concepts. 

It was not that Nathan was better at math than the teachers, of course. 

It was because he knew Cheryl well. He knew her math level and exactly where her weaknesses 

were. 

Simply put, he tailored his teaching to her specific needs. 

At first, Cheryl listened with a rebellious attitude. 

As she listened, she found herself understanding more and more. Everything suddenly clicked, and she felt a sense of enlightenment. 

“Wow… Does he know and care about me this much?” Cheryl felt a mix of emotions as she got lost in thought. 

Even if Nathan had distanced himself from her, she was still surrounded by boys eager to grab her attention, like Justin. But no matter how much those boys tried to care for her, it always felt shallow. Who else cared about her in such a thoughtful and detailed way as Nathan did? 

He even knew exactly where her weak points in math were, down to every little detail. 

Nathan marked notes and diagrams on the papers with a pen. He outlined the key areas Cheryl. should focus on the remaining 20 days before the exams. 

As Cheryl watched his serious profile, she couldn’t help but lose herself for a moment. 

Perhaps because he’d been studying hard lately, Nathan looked a bit slimmer than before. His once baby face now showed a more defined jawline, and he had faint stubble growing on his

chin. For the first time, Cheryl thought Nathan looked kind of handsome. 

Especially now, as he was explaining the questions to her with such dedication. He even seemed a little charming. 

Nathan went through the exam papers with Cheryl, explaining each question and summarizing the important points. By the time he was done with the last question and glanced at his watch, nearly two hours had passed. 

Jasmine had returned from grocery shopping a while ago. 

She saw Nathan patiently tutoring her daughter and was careful not to disturb thern. Even while she worked in the kitchen, she moved quietly, trying her best not to make any noise. 

Every now and then, she would peek into the living room and smile at how well they both got along. 

From childhood friends, they were now experiencing the first stirrings of love. They’d eventually become a couple. It all seemed so perfect. 

She couldn’t help but feel that they were truly meant for each other. 

“Well, that’s about it. The rest is up to you. In the end, it’s all about practice.” Nathan stretched as he stood up and said, “Mrs. Ginger, I’m heading home now.” He then made his way to the door. 

Jasmine was surprised. She poked her head out from the kitchen. “Nathan, leaving already? Stay for dinner. It’s almost ready.” 

“Mrs. Ginger, maybe next time. I made plans with some friends tonight for the new server opening of Realm of Beasts,” Nathan replied. Before Jasmine could say anything else, Nathan waved goodbye and left. 

The gaming excuse was, of course, just a cover. He simply didn’t want to stay at Cheryl’s house any longer. 

As soon as he reached downstairs, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. 

Turning around, he saw Cheryl, breathless, standing behind him. She must have followed right after him. 

Nathan frowned. “Why did you come down?” 

In the cool moonlight, Cheryl bit her lip, gathered her courage, and said, “Nathan, I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few days. I was wrong that day. I shouldn’t have made fun of your like that.”
