บททั้งหมดของ My Vampire Professor: บทที่ 171 - บทที่ 180

Tessa’s POV “Oh, God, Tessa. Tell me what happened,” Ruby said gently as she wrapped her arms around me and held me close. We were both curled up on the couch and I couldn’t seem to stop crying. It was the gross kind of crying too; I was snotting all over the place and I felt bad for getting some on the clothes Ruby was wearing, which were still my clothes. But still, she was wearing them. By the time I got home, it was already dark. I went for a long walk after I spoke to Joseph and the next thing I knew; the sun was completely down. When I got home, Carter was on his way out. He left even quicker when he saw that I was crying. Telling from the plates and empty cups on the table, I could tell that Ruby made dinner for the two of them to share. I was glad for them both, but my heart was too heavy, and I felt like it shattered into a million pieces to really take notice of how Ruby was glowing and smiling when she was around Carter. But that smile faded when she saw me sobbi

Joseph’s POVI sent an email to the entire class letting them know that the class would be canceled this evening. With two of my students absent, I didn’t want anyone to fall behind.Not to mention I wasn’t really feeling up to class.Since my conversation with Tessa yesterday, my heart hasn’t really been in the right place. I wasn’t sure what to say to her, but I certainly didn’t think anything I did say would make her feel any better.

Tessa’s POV“You’ve gotten so much bigger since last year!!”“Penny,” I said, plastering a smile as the blonde bimbo ran from the front porch and across the dirt road to tackle me in a hug.I stood frozen as she reached me and wrapped her arms around me. If possible, it looked like she had gotten even younger. Her curly blond hair bounced around her narrow and bright features. She wore way too much makeup, and her clothing was way too tight.

Tessa’s POVMy heart slammed into my stomach at the mention of Joseph’s name.“Oh, uh… just a friend,” I said quickly as I grabbed my phone from my father.I was glad he didn’t tie the connection of Joseph being Joseph Evergreen.He narrowed his eyes at me, but he didn’t say anything as I scurried up the stairs with Ruby following closely behind me.

Joseph’s POV“Hi, this is Tessa. State the reason you’re calling and maybe I will call back. Maybe I won’t.”“Record your message after the beep—”Click.I shoved my phone back into my pocket and ran my fingers through my hair. What did Tessa’s text even mean? Was she drunk or something?Carter said that Tessa went with Ruby back to her father’s farm, so the fact that she wasn’t close by and seemingly drunk really left an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. I stared at the clock; it was later in the evening.Since seeing Tessa’s text this morning, I wasn’t able to sleep. I tried to refrain from calling her today, but eventually, I caved. I couldn’t help myself. I just wanted to make sure she was okay and it’s not like I was going to bombard her at her father’s farm.She made it perfectly clear that she didn’t want anything to do with me anymore.I guess I only had myself to blame for that.I haven’t been treating her well; I deserved everything I got.Carter was right though;
