Oswaldo’s eyes were clear, without any hint of romantic thoughts between them, just pure friendship. “Vivian likes her, and she likes Vivian. I need a study buddy, and she does too.”
He had a look on his face that said “we’re so compatible,” looking at Terrence.
Terrence glanced at him casually when he heard that.
“Don’t jump to conclusions, and don’t go hurting Lizzie.”
Oswaldo heard this and immediately got a little upset, “How am I harming her? All I need in my life is Vivian. She probably won’t get married either. We can just stick together, continue our friendship, right!”
Terrence keenly caught onto a word, “She didn’t want to get married?”
Oswaldo was easy–going, rarely seen him get angry.
“But at that time, he was angry,” “Yeah. A nice girl like her, first love with a guy like that, plus that kind of in–laws, it’s normal for her to be scared of marriage!”
Terrence gave him a look, “You’re quite knowledgeable.”
Oswaldo was not happy, “What’s with that look! Of course I understand! And I definitely made you understand! If I didn’t understand, Vivian wouldn’t be running around now!”
Terrence was silent, “Having a daughter is amazing, huh?”

That’s really amazing!
Terrence retorted, “You really have no sense at all? Look at how old you are and how young Lizzie is.”
Oswaldo was pretty proud, Terrence couldn’t beat him, and even resorted to personal attacks!
He can do this too!
“I’m not that old, I’m actually a year younger than you. Look, my daughter is already running around everywhere, but you, still single till now.”
Terrence’s thin lips tightened into a line, he wanted to punch someone.
Oswaldo thought about how he was still single and sighed, “Come to think of it, Lizzie seems more suitable to be with you than with me.”
Terrence had no expression, but his body was relaxed, casually leaning against the wall.
However, Oswaldo quickly added, with a touch of realism.
“Yeah, you are getting a bit old.”
Terrence’s face went from looking relaxed to serious in an instant.
“So, I think Lizzie and I are more suitable. The two of us teaming up like this, taking care of each other, just right.”
Terrence’s deep eyes narrowed slowly, “She was bullied at Theron’s wedding that day?”
Oswaldo nodded.
But thinking back to that day when she was protecting Vivian with her

sharp tongue, he actually fell hard for Vanessa’s words.
Terrence only noticed Oswaldo’s nod, his eyes suddenly darkening.
When he wanted to ask for more details, the female soldier in charge of checking luggage walked over and nodded at Lizzic.
“Ms. Trevino, your luggage has been checked and there are no issues.”
Almost at the same time, Vivian, who was being held in Lizzie’s arms, turned her little head and saw Oswaldo, immediately reaching out her chubby little hand and calling out in a baby voice.
“Dad!”
The crisp call interrupted their conversation.
“Lizzie, let’s go to the dorm!”
Oswaldo’s attention was immediately taken away, and he walked towards Lizzie and Vivian.
“Dad is here.”
Oswaldo picked up Vivian and gave Terrence a wink, gesturing with his eyes towards Lizzie’s luggage on the ground.
Terrence furrowed his brow, completely failing to grasp the deeper meaning behind Oswaldo’s winking and nudging.
He was usually deep in thought, but lacked a bit of sophistication in dealing with people and the ways of the world.
And, helping others carry luggage, just like I did for his mother five
years ago.
Oswaldo saw his clueless look and sighed helplessly. He decided to

stop playing dumb charades and just spoke directly.
“Terrence, lend a hand and help Lizzie carry the luggage inside.”
Standing on the side, Jarred heard this and almost stumbled. Only someone like Oswaldo, who grew up with Terrence and lacks common sense, would dare to boss Terrence around so openly and ask him to carry luggage for someone else.
You know, Terrence was a force to be reckoned with on a regular day, people were intimidated by him just by his presence.
This time, Terrence got it, didn’t show any displeasure.
He took long strides and bent down to pick up one of the seemingly heavy luggage bags.
Jarred saw the situation and his survival instinct kicked in
immediately. He quickly took a step forward and skillfully picked up Lizzie’s other luggage.
He wouldn’t dare let Terrence do this kind of physical work alone.
Lizzie rushed to carry the luggage, “No need, I can do it myself.”
But Terrence was holding the luggage strap, she reached out and tried to grab it, but his hand didn’t budge.
Oswaldo held Vivian and patted her shoulder, comforting her, “You don’t have to be polite to me just because you’re not able to move easily.”
