The implied meaning made Mateo frown slightly.
Lily was so angry that she wanted to retort, but she was stopped by Eleanor.
If they really quarreled, wouldn’t they fall into Zoey’s trap?

Eleanor looked up at Elijah, who had a relaxed expression. He knew best who she had done all kinds of messy things with.
He did not say anything, which meant that he had tacitly agreed to Zoey’s slander.
Eleanor sneered and pulled Lily over. “Mom, Mr. Jenkins, let’s go.”
Mateo politely said goodbye and opened the door for Eleanor and Lily.
Not long after they got into the car, Eleanor received Mr. Wilson’s message.
[Eleanor, I’m sorry, Elijah let the school give Zoey more spots for the competition.]
[Got it.]
She gripped her phone tightly. Actually, this result was not surprising.
However, she still felt that her breathing was rapid and weak as if she was struggling in a vortex but could not grasp any strength.
She thought she had won by a step.
However, she was still suppressed.
How long was fate going to tease her?
They reached the dining room.
Mateo gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Eleanor and ordered a cup of hot cocoa for her.
Mateo said, “Look at how unhappy you’ve been. Are you feeling unwell? Hot cocoa can dispel the cold.” “Thank you.”
A gentle man would always give people a better impression.
Eleanor smiled and nodded. She gradually relaxed.
Seeing this, Lily smiled and said, “Mr. Jenkins, Eleanor is just a slow burner. Don’t mind.”
“No, Miss Brown is very good and very beautiful.”
Mateo looked straight at Eleanor’s face with a gentle smile.
Eleanor was a little uncomfortable and lowered her head to drink cocoa.
After dinner, Lily was very satisfied with Mateo. She couldn’t stop smiling.

She pretended to answer a call and said, “Eleanor, Logan is looking for me. I’ll go back first. You two can watch a movie together and get to know each other better.”
Before Eleanor could refuse, Lily had already gotten into the car and left.
She turned around helplessly and looked at Mateo apologetically. “I’m sorry, I think it’s better for us to make things clear. This blind date was not my intention.”
Mateo smiled. “Me too, but Lily has given us a mission. Let’s go watch a movie as an explanation to both parents,”
Upon hearing Mateo’s words, Eleanor agreed without much thought.
When Mateo was booking the tickets, he swiped his phone and casually said, “Miss Brown, where do you live? I’ll see if there’s a cinema closer to where you live. It’ll be convenient for you to go back later.”
Eleanor saw that Mateo had always been very gentlemanly and considerate, so she said truthfully. “I’m currently staying on campus. It’s fine as long as I can go back before ten o’clock.”
“Alright, I’ve booked it.”
Mateo was booked very readily.
Eleanor didn’t want to take advantage of him. “How much is it? I’ll give it to you.”
Mateo looked at her. “Are you going to let me lose face?”
Eleanor corrected herself. “Then I’ll buy you something to drink.”
After confirming it, it was not until they entered the venue that Mateo realized he had chosen the wrong
time.
The 7:20 movie ticket became 8:20.
The movie lasted for more than an hour. The time to return to school was too tight.
Eleanor wanted to find a reason to reject the movie, but Mateo spoke first..
“It’s not far from your school. I’ll drive you there after the movie. There’s still time. Otherwise, our family will ask again.”
Eleanor thought of how Lily urged her to get married and nodded helplessly.
She was busy with the competition and really did not want to hear Lily nag about finding a man to back
her up
After entering the venue, Eleanor did not care about what the movie was about. She looked at the time from time to time, afraid that she would miss the time to return to school.
As soon as the movie ended, Eleanor urged Mateo to leave.
On the way back to school, Mateo always stopped at a red light.
Looking at the time that had passed, Eleanor could not help but feel a little anxious.
Mateo smiled. “Don’t worry.

Mateo parked the car in the parking lot outside the school. Eleanor immediately pulled the door open, but with a click, the car was locked again.
Eleanor pulled hard twice, but she still could not open it. She turned around and met Mateo’s gentle smile.
His smile was still the same, but there was no gentleness in his eyes. He licked his lips, and his c filled with lust.

Eleanor did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly took out her phone.
She warned, “Unlock the car or I’ll call the police immediately!”
Mateo sneered. He was not in a hurry at all. He just raised his hand and tapped on the car screen.
“Look at your phone again.”
Eleanor glanced at the phone screen. The phone that had a full signal just now instantly went dead.
