YM778.TV Chapter 144: They are Married
Additionally, a fiancé? That was too absurd. The way that the two of them had been acting until now, there was definitely no indication that the two of them had a very deep relationship with each other.
It might be true that the two of them were always together within the campus, but they did not talk that much. Additionally, they always maintained a distance from each other, and did not look intimate at all.
So, Jaden could not help but wonder where it was that Mason came up with the conclusion that he might be Scarlet\'s fiancé.
Nonetheless, he was impressed by Mason\'s observation skills. This was only the second time that they were interacting with each other. But still, this guy had already picked up the connection between the two of them.
It was not as though others had not realized that Jaden was always around Scarlet. It was just that some of them thought that he was one of her admirer, and was kind of brave, trying to approach Scarlet.
But since he was maintaining a distance from her, they usually thought that he was simply stalking her, but did not have the confidence of approaching her to confess his feelings. Of course, this last part was something that made many of the boys feel a little frustrated.
They wanted to watch a show where Jaden would be thrashed by Scarlet, the moment that he confessed to her. But this guy did not have the guts of approaching her and telling her his feelings.
As for Mason, it seemed that his thinking was completely different from the rest of the group that was observing, thinking that he was stalking Scarlet.
"Don\'t tell me! You are trying to imply that he is Scarlet\'s fiancé? Why is it that I have never heard of it?" One of the two people that had been attracted by what Mason had said suddenly exclaimed.
"But why do I doubt the authenticity of such a thing? Look at the distance that they are sitting from each other. It is clear that this guy is just bragging." The other one responded.
He was clearly not convinced about what Mason had said. He thought that this was just a plan that Jaden and Mason had come up with, in order to try and show off that they were closer to Scarlet. Otherwise, why would Mason suddenly say that Jaden was Scarlet\'s fiancé, while making sure that the two of them heard it?
"Well, that seems to make sense. They are sitting quite a distance away from each other. And they don\'t seem to be that intimate with each other. Or is it as this guy had said, an arranged marriage between the two of them?" The first one asked with a hint of suspicion.
"That might actually be true. After all, this guy only recently appeared, but he is sitting in the same row with Scarlet." The other one responded.
"But sitting in the same row is not enough to prove that they are a couple. So, why don\'t you go over to her and give her a kiss, to prove that you are her fiancé?" The first guy asked as he looked at Jaden.
Of course, the two of them were speaking out loudly, immediately attracting the attention of the students around them. And in no time at all, it suddenly caused a commotion, attracting many people within the class, including Scarlet.
The problem with secondary information was that, a piece of information might be extremely exaggerated as it was passed to the next person, or become extremely outrageous, completely different from the real piece of information.
"What is going on?"
"Oh, I just heard that that guy over there and Scarlet are bound to get married in the future."
"Really?"
"Hey, have you heard? I just heard that Scarlet and that guy over there have already gotten married."
"You just heard it? I can tell you that I know that the two of them got married. In fact, they got married yesterday. I was there!"
"Seriously? Why does that guy have an opportunity of marrying Scarlet?"
"Do you want to give it a try? Even if you are given an opportunity, I\'m pretty sure that you will not agree to marrying her. Otherwise, you might end up being pummeled everyday."
"That\'s actually true. And, do you think that they have already, you know…"
"You\'re still thinking? Since they have already gotten married, it is normal for them to do that. What is there to hesitate? It is legal, as long as they are married."
"Yep. In fact, it is legal as long as a person is considered as an adult. Of course, it has to be consented by both sides."
"Hey, why are you going off topic? Why don\'t one of you tell me when this happened? I think I saw this guy just about one week ago. He came together with Scarlet in her car. But right now, they have already gotten married?"
"You saw it too? He is the first person that has ever come with Scarlet to school. They shared the same car, that nobody else has ever gotten into, no matter the gender."
"Hey, don\'t tell me that during this last week, they were going out on dates, trying to get to know each other better?"
"That might actually be true. But don\'t you think that they moved so fast? If they began getting to know each other last week, how is it that they are already married today?"
"You don\'t know anything. I heard that Scarlet is from an influential background. Even though I don\'t know which one it is, still, don\'t you see the car that she drives? For most of those big families, relationship doesn\'t really matter that much. Benefits do."
The chattering around made Jaden completely speechless. He had not expected that something like this was going to happen. Additionally, when did it suddenly move from an assumption of him being Scarlet\'s fiancé, to being her husband?
Wasn\'t this too ridiculous? Additionally, there was even one of them that was boldly claiming that he was there during the marriage? Why was it that he was not there during the marriage, yet he was the supposedly said groom?
Mason on the other hand realized that he had made a mistake. He was just a little excited after thinking that he had found out the truth. So, he did not control his voice, making two people know about it.
But these two loud mouths had to shout, and blow at a fire that was just about to be extinguished. Now, the entire forest was burning.
Scarlet on the other hand had a weird expression on her face upon hearing the discussions among her fellow students. She could not help but look at Jaden, and realized that he was just as dumbfounded as she was.
She was not sure about who it was that had began claiming that the two of them were in a romantic relationship, but it was not impossible for people to assume that. After all, with her being with Jaden almost every time, and the two of them coming to school together, it would definitely make many people make assumptions of their own.
She wanted to tell everybody that it was not as they were saying, and beat up those that were exaggerating things so much, but she finally held back. They were currently in class, and for some reason, she just decided not to take action. She didn\'t even know the reason herself…
Jaden on the other hand did not even think about retorting the rumors that had already began spreading. He understood that it was going to be impossible for him to be able to change the mindsets of these people.
If he suddenly began claiming that he was not Scarlet\'s husband, he might have to give a better explanation to it. But with this group\'s rich imagination, they would definitely think of something, and make it that Jaden was simply proving that he was Scarlet\'s husband.
They might even say that he was afraid that people would start thinking that Scarlet was too rash, and had already gotten married, when she was just in her second year. So, he was protecting the reputation of his wife.
In the end, it was not as if it was going to affect anything. It was just baseless rumors, and there was no evidence that proved that the two of them were married. At most, it would spread within the campus, but would definitely not go beyond the walls of the campus.
This was to be expected, considering that most of the time, the events happening within the campus would not spread to the outside community.
"Can all of you maintain silence?! The time for the lecture has already passed by 2 minutes, but you lot are still chatting with each other? I don\'t care about the rumors that have attracted your attention, but you have to pay attention during my class!" A stern shout suddenly attracted the attention of the group of students that was still chattering around.
When they looked towards the front of the lecture hall, they realized that there was a middle-aged man with a stern expression on his face looking at them with a fierce gaze.
The students immediately calmed down, but the fingers did not. Many of them immediately began posting on the campus forum, about the happenings within the class. And in no time, yet another trending topic arose within the campus, with almost every student knowing about it.
