Chapter 329: Graduation Ceremony (4)
It took almost two hours to finish the graduation ceremony at each faculty. Now, all the graduates headed to the auditorium for the main event, including Rose and her friends.
Somehow walking beside Evan towards the hall made Rose feel tense. But, this tension was not because of the rumors about her dating Evan, but she was nervous because this was the first time her friends would see her father.
Since Rose was in junior high school, she rarely talked about her personal matters with others. This habit continued until she went to college. So not many people know that she doesn’t have a father. Only her close friends know.
Her childhood trauma, when she was often ridiculed for not having a father, made her utterly selective and challenging in making friends. This habit continued until she went to college.
Even though she didn’t have many friends, she was still grateful for not bothering to explain to many people about her father’s presence and also about her last name suddenly changing to Spencer.
As Rose was deep in thought, she suddenly jumped in surprise when James suddenly stood between her and Evan. She glared at him, feeling sullen. But the shameless James just gave him a big grin.
James shamelessly forced himself to stand between them, only to hear Rose’s response about her name being changed to Spencer. It felt like his brain would explode if he didn’t hear Rose’s explanation.
Evan could only glance at James with a polite but standoffish smile. He didn’t say a word, but he strolled to get them to talk. He followed them from behind.
"Rose! You have to say it now, or I won’t stop asking..." James threatened impatiently.
