Burning Passion - Chapter 337

CHAPTER 337: MISTAKEN AS STEVEN AGAIN

* * *

Nina looks at her grandmother apologetically. She had guessed that their action was obvious to her to notice.

Now that her grandmother found out, it’s no use denying it. Nina took a deep breath, preparing to confess.

“Grandma, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to keep it a secret. But grandma, can you not tell Papa, yet? Let me tell him the truth.”

Nera stared at Nina and then shifted her gaze to Harry. Afterward, she smiled at the young couple and said, “I don’t mind. As long as you’ll tell your Papa yourself, and Harry.”

“Don’t worry, grandma. I will talk to Uncle Nelson once he comes back.”

“That’s good. Anyway, Jessica told me that Nina needs to study the lessons she misses this passing week. I think you don’t need to do that outside.” Nera glanced at the tulips Annie arranged in the flower vases. She then continued, “Harry can tutor you at home, Nina. What do you think?”

“Grandma…” Nina wanted to rush to her grandma to hug the old woman. She could not believe that everyone would understand her relationship with Harry and supported them instead.

“I seconded what Aunt Nera suggested.” Annie chimed in. She then turned to Harry, winking at him. “Harry, why don’t you come over after your classes to help Nina with her lessons?”

Harry glanced at Nina. He actually wanted to suggest tutoring Nina at the mansion. But for him to come over to Li villa every day is not so bad at all.

“I would be so glad, Aunt Annie! Thank you, grandma Nera.” It’s better than my plan. Even though he and Nina could limit their intimacy, at the least, they need not hide from Nina’s family.

After having tea, Harry bid good night. Nina escorts him to the entryway. Before Nina could close the door, Harry planted a quick kiss on her cheek.

Nina glanced at the living room where the three women were looking in her direction with a smirk on their faces. Suddenly, her face flushed pink from embarrassment.

‘Ugh. Silly Harry! Now they’re teasing me!’

The next day at the University, Harry invited the boys to the restaurant near Collins’ University.

The moment they entered the restaurant, Lee saw Nina and Jessica.

“Hey, girls!” The boys march toward their table; Lee immediately joins them and is seated next to Jessica.

Harry sat next to Nina, casually greeted Jessica, and then her girlfriend, who was like only a friend. With his serious expression, Lee noticed nothing that they have a relationship. However, they stole a glance at each other, and every time it became frequent and obvious, Jessica would cough to warn the couple.

It was the first time Harry and Nina hung out together with their friends since their secret relationship. Both realized that it was so hard to hide their feelings for each other. Nina could not help to feel gloomy, which others thought she was sad because Steven wasn’t there. Nina wanted to laugh, but she felt more rage toward Steven.

Honestly, she badly wanted to tell everyone that she and Steven are over. But she has no bravery yet.

Besides, their friends are not at fault if they assume that way. She should not lose her temper because of everyone’s wrong assumption.

What makes her feeling down is she was now in a relationship with the person she truly loved. But she has to keep it a secret.

Again, a day passed that Nina felt sad. Gladly she only has two classes in the afternoon, she and Jessica headed home, Harry followed one hour after.

Nina, Jessica, and Annie were in the kitchen when Harry arrived. So then, it shocked Sonny Li to see him.

“Good afternoon, Master Li… Grandma Nera.” Harry politely greeted the old couple. But Harry didn’t perceive that it would infuriate the old man seeing him.

“What are you doing here!?” Sonny Li yelled at Harry. He attempted to sit up, but his wife held his elbow. “Nera? Why are you stopping me? I am going to punch that man!”

Nera rolled her eyes as she scolded her husband. “Why would you do that to Harry?”

“Harry?” Curled his forehead, Sonny Li glanced at his wife before he returned his attention to Harry. “Ahem! I thought it was Steven.”

Nera giggled inwardly. She already perceives that her husband would mistakenly Harry as his twin brother once he showed up today.

Sonny Li blushed, glared at his wife for mocking him. But to save face, he didn’t scold his wife. He simply turned to Harry to make a conversation.

“Are you really not Steven?” Knitting his brows and sharpening his glare, Sonny Li interrogates Harry.

“I am Harry, Master Li. Steven was still in China.”

“I see. But what are you doing here? Nelson prohibited you from courting my granddaughter until she completes her college.”

“Harry came to tutor Nina for the lesson she missed last week,” Nera informed her husband, winking at Harry.

“Hmm…”

Meanwhile, hearing her grandpa yelling at someone, Nina rush into the living room. She instantly guessed that Harry arrived.

“Grandpa, grandma? What happens?” She asked. Nina looked at Harry with worries in her eyes, conveying a question.

“Don’t worry, darling. It was just a misunderstanding. Oh, it’s not. It was a mistaken identity.” Nera explained, her tone was teasing her husband.

Sonny Li immediately glared at his wife, who pretended she didn’t scorn her husband.

Nina would like to laugh, but she doesn’t want to embarrass her grandfather.

“Grandpa, Harry would come over after our class to help me review my lessons and upcoming exams.”

“I see. Then, that was fine.”

After a brief talk, Nina leads Harry to the study. The moment the door closed, she and Harry had a long passionate kiss. Gasps for air, Nina giggled suddenly.

“Hey, are you laughing at me?”

“Not!”

“Then?”

“I can’t just help it! I could still remember grandpa’s flushing face.”

“Ah. I did all my best not to laugh either after he did realize.”

Hand in hand, walking toward the sofa, the couple couldn’t help laughing. Harry brought some books with him. They began the lessons Nina has to review.

After half an hour, someone knocked on the door.
