Chapter 1021: Not a Couple?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Actually, sometimes Connor didn’t know whether his luck was good or bad.

After inheriting Steven’s inheritance, he clearly felt that his luck with women had improved significantly. There were more and more beautiful women appearing around him.

If this had happened before, he would definitely be overjoyed.

But now, he already had Freya, Yelena, and Chloe. Just with these three women, he was already having a hard time dealing with the terrifying psychological pressure.

So he didn’t dare to approach other women anymore, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and invite more romantic debts.

However, he discovered that the more he tried to control himself, the more beautiful women appeared around him.

Moreover, what made him even more frustrated was that these beautiful women either intended to use him as a shield or wanted him to pretend to be their boyfriend. He was clearly disgusted with this situation.

After hearing the young man’s words, Salma didn’t stop at all. Instead, she directly sat beside Connor.

“Sal, what are you doing sitting there?”

The young man frowned and asked Salma.

“Zayn, where I sit doesn’t concern you. I’ve always told you not to follow me, but you insist on following me. Now that I’m sitting here, do you still have to control it? If you can’t stand it, you should just close your eyes…” she replied in a cold and indifferent tone.

Upon hearing these words, Zayn’s expression became somewhat awkward. He lowered his head without saying anything, but his eyes showed clear displeasure towards Connor.

“Aren’t these two not a couple?”

Connor vaguely felt that something was not right, so he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“Oh, by the way, Zayn, we’re not that close. Don’t call me Sal. I’m not used to it!”

At this moment, Salma continued to speak to Zayn.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.

Seeing his silence, A satisfied smile appeared on her face. She turned her head directly to Connor and asked with a bright smile, “Hey handsome, you look young. Are you still studying now?”

“Yeah, I’m still in college…”

Connor nodded lightly.

“Where do you study?”

Salma hurriedly asked.

“Porthampton University!”

Connor answered helplessly.

“Oh, what a coincidence. I’m currently a senior at Newtown University. It would have been great if you were studying at Newtown University…”

Salma’s tone sounded somewhat disappointed.

Connor smiled at her words and didn’t say much.

Salma didn’t mind and continued to chat with Connor. Zayn, who was sitting across from them, could only watch with an angry expression on his face but didn’t dare to say anything.

As Connor was constantly thinking about Freya’s situation, he didn’t have much interest in chatting with Salma. Most of the time, she was the one talking, and he quietly listened, occasionally replying one or two sentences.

During their conversation, Connor learned that Salma and Zayn were actually not a couple.

Zayn had always been pursuing Salma, and with Salma’s family also being very supportive of their relationship, Salma was made extremely annoyed by Zayn.

Originally, she came to Davenport alone to avoid him, but unexpectedly, he still managed to find her. She had no choice but to reluctantly choose to go back.

The reason why she was chatting so warmly with Connor was not because she was interested in him, but because she wanted to provoke Zayn and make him give up pursuing her sooner.

However, she realized that she had underestimated his tolerance. No matter how intimate she acted with Connor, he showed no signs of anger, which left her speechless.

Time passed quickly…

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

It was now past 2 AM, and she was getting tired of chatting with Connor, so she rested her little head on his shoulder and closed her eyes to take a rest.

He knew that she was intentionally doing this, and although he felt helpless, he didn’t refuse her.

Zayn, on the other hand, seemed extremely angry when he looked at Connor, but he didn’t dare to get angry because he knew that if he did, Salma would have an excuse to get rid of him.

“Sal is my woman. She’s just trying to provoke me by doing this. You’d better know your boundaries, otherwise, I’ll make you suffer…”

Zayn whispered a threat to Connor after seeing that Salma had fallen asleep.

Connor, however, just smiled faintly and completely ignored his words, continuing to look out the window at the scenery.

Zayn didn’t expect that he would dare to ignore him. A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, but he soon closed his eyes to rest.

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

The sky was finally starting to brighten up. Connor checked the time and realized it was almost 6 AM. He estimated that there was less than half an hour left before they could reach Newtown. Connor’s excitement began to rise.

At this moment, Salma also woke up, then she gently stretched and yawned, and her ample bosom looked exceptionally enticing due to the angle.

With sleepy eyes, she rubbed her eyes and turned her head to glance at Connor. She noticed that he seemed to have been awake all along, and her expression showed some guilt because she thought he might not have been able to rest because she had been leaning on his shoulder.

“Connor, have you not slept at all?”

Salma asked Connor softly.

“No…”

He shook his head lightly.

Upon hearing his words, her expression seemed even more embarrassed. She quickly apologized, “I’m really sorry. I slept so soundly last night that I forgot I was leaning on your shoulder…”

“It’s okay. Even if you didn’t lean on my shoulder, I still wouldn’t be able to sleep!”

He smiled faintly at her.

Upon hearing Connor’s words, Salma felt that Connor was probably saying that to avoid making her feel embarrassed, so her fondness for him instantly increased.

A few minutes later, Connor could feel that the plane had begun its descent, indicating that they would soon arrive in Newtown.
