Chapter 1599: 703 Love Parting (Ending Part 1) Chapter 1599: 703 Love Parting (Ending Part 1) Anton Cook spent the whole night in excitement, devoid of sleep.

As dawn was near, he took a cold shower.

It was a bit chilly by then, and he couldn’t help but shiver as he stepped out from the bathroom.

In his cloakroom, he sorted through his clothes but was dissatisfied with every piece he picked up.

Aubree Groove’s message popped up on WeChat just then – “I am waiting for you in the parking lot.”
Anton responded – “On my way.”
In the end, he chose a classic black trench coat, figuring nothing could go wrong with that.

He fiddled with his hair a bit, and just as he was about to spritz on some cologne, he suddenly stopped himself.

He looked at himself in the mirror, wondering what he was doing.

Aubree was not superficial.

As he prepared to leave his house, Anton glanced at the box of lotus seed cakes on the table but eventually decided not to indulge.

When Anton arrived at the underground parking lot, he saw a young lady in a white dress standing by his car, a canvas bag over her shoulder and her long hair gently cascading to meet her shoulders.

Her beauty was beyond belief.

Anton’s breath hitched, and he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.

The underground parking lot was dimly lit, and as the motion-sensing lights detected his footsteps, they suddenly lit up.

The young lady stood at the edge of the light, turning her head to look at him.

Anton’s breath hitched again.

He could feel his heart racing uncontrollably.

He approached her calmly, asking, “Have you been waiting long?”
He pressed the car keys he held in his hand, causing the car lights to flash on and the car to emit a short beep.

“Not too long,” she replied.

As Anton walked towards the passenger’s side to open the door for her, the young lady naturally stepped into the car.

As he bent down to fasten her seatbelt, a faint, slightly bitter scent of aloeswood wafted off her.

It was a calming, sedating fragrance, but to him, it was as intense as an inferno.

“I can do it myself.”
Aubree fastened her seat belt herself.

Anton immediately turned away, took a deep breath to regain composure, and then walked around to the driver’s side.

Starting the car, they departed.

“Does your injured arm affect your driving?” she enquired.

Anton moved his arm slightly and laughed, “No, it’s still very flexible.”
“How is Uncle Aria?

Has he recovered?”
“He resumed work a week ago.”
Peter Aria was a workaholic, with his pursuit of career unimpeded by family happiness.

Knowing that Aubree was reporting to her university today, he insisted on seeing her off personally.

However, a sudden work call from his science institute made him leave hastily.

When they reached the gates of Benefit University, the security guards stopped them.

Aubree rolled down the car window and politely said, “Hello, I have an appointment with Mr.

Linggo from the administration department.

You can call his assistant to confirm.”
The security guard saw the young lady, polite and gentle, naturally inclined to let her through but due to professional duties, he dialed the assistant of Mr.

Linggo.

After confirming her appointment, he let them pass.

Benefit University was vast, occupying hundreds of hectares.

The campus was scenic, with young students confidently cycling between broad lanes under the bright sun.

Nevertheless, most people seemed to be in a hurry.

To keep pace in a top university with the most outstanding talents, they needed to work twice as hard.

Diligence, striving, upward mobility, confidence, determination, and integrity were all important qualities for a university student.

Turning his head suddenly, Anton was taken aback.

The sight of students rushing to their classes outside the car window left Aubree in awe, a feeling Anton had never seen in her before.

For him, Aubree was always unconquerable, like a deity untainted by desecration.

She dismantled wealth and power, desired nothing, as if there was nothing in this world worthy of her affection.

The towering century-old phoenix trees on both sides of the lane let through speckles of sunlight that shone on her forehead and corners of her eyes, also reflecting the yearning in her eyes.

Anton’s heart softened in an instant and was soon filled with a pricking pain.

He slowed down the car, giving her ample time to admire the view of the campus.

While Aubree stepped into the administration building, Anton sat in the car and waited.

Only then did he have time to slowly process his feelings from earlier.

Placing his hand on his chest, he could still feel a lingering sharp pain.

Leaning on the steering wheel, Anton laughed wistfully.

As Vanie Hayes walked out of Mr.

Linggo’s office, she saw Mr.

Linggo’s assistant walking over with a young woman.

From afar, the woman’s grace and charm stood out.

As they came closer, Vanie couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

She blurted out in disbelief, “Are you…

Are you Aubree Groove?”
