Back then, digital payments weren't the norm, and cash dealings dominated those food stalls.

Realizing the money was fake, Lance and Bettie confronted the vendor.

Initially, the vendor denied everything. That was when Bettie, leveraging her family's influence, threatened to take actions that could shut the vendor's business down.

Faced with the prospect of confronting someone from a powerful family, the vendor quickly refunded their money.

Bettie waved dismissively. “Why bring that up? It's been ages."

Ignoring her, Lance got lost in his memories. "I remember right after I finished tutoring you, we decided to head to the food stalls..."

Bettie's expression darkened, and she clenched her jaw tightly.

"Lance!"

Bettie was known for her kindness. Once she and Lance became a couple at that time, she was determined to help improve his Life.

However, Lance was too proud to take her money directly. So, Bettie came up with a plan for him to tutor her, paying him the going rate for his time. Despite her efforts, the tutoring didn't seem to make much of a difference.

The lessons took place at Bettie's house over the weekends. Her parents were often out, leaving only the nanny at home.

Bettie, however, was hardly interested in her studies from the start.

She wasn't a fan of doing homework. For her, the tutoring sessions were a great arrangement. They let her help out her boyfriend financially while also giving them some quality time together. It was a win-win situation in her eyes.

Whenever it was time to study, Bettie would get a headache and couldn't bear it. All she wanted was to spend time flirting with Lance. She touched him sometimes.

The mood turned a bit awkward. They were deeply in love, youthful and passionate.

Eventually, they went to bed, where they both discovered the intimacies of sex together.

"Why did you call out to me?" Lance gave Bettie an innocent look.

Bettie retorted, "It's summer now, isn't it?" This isn't the mating season.

"I was just reminded of that day when your mom walked in on us while I was tutoring you. What's on your mind?" Lance asked, lifting his eyebrows.

Bettie hesitated. Her mother had indeed walked in on them during a tutoring session at her house, but that was the following semester.
