Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Second Brother, she is Delphine who won the Actress award at the age of 23
Seeing Benjamin suddenly caught Delphine off guard, and she spent several days in a daze.
Little Ben was deeply doted on in the Howard Family, which comforted Delphine, yet also made her feel uneasy. For all these years, while raising Nicholas, Benjamin hadn’t had the chance to even taste her breast milk. The little girl appeared delicate and timid, born prematurely—who knows how her health is holding up? She heard that Ignatius Leclair was planning to find her a new mother. If Ignatius had more children in the future, what would become of her Benjamin?
Delphine’s heart twisted tightly, her mind scattered during her classes these past few days.
"Delphine, come to my office after class." Professor Cassius Turner, fair-skinned and gentlemanly, spoke politely and gently.
Although Cassius often visited for meals and to see Nicholas, at school, the two still maintained the relationship of a regular professor and student.
When Delphine arrived at Cassius Turner’s office after class, there was a group of lively and attractive female students gathered around inside.
Standing at the doorway, she gazed at these youthful, spirited girls and the handsome young professor, who had been voted the most charming, her eyes momentarily lost.
The one wish she had always nurtured was to experience college life as an ordinary person, to savor the unrestrained vigor of youth. Though she was now present on campus, her face still youthful, her heart realm had long since aged.
Cassius Turner was truly a wonderful person. If she had met someone like this refined and jade-like professor in her younger years, perhaps she would have been moved.
Delphine stood there for a while, waiting for the lively group of female students to leave.
Cassius walked out, noticing her standing dumbfounded at the door. He chuckled quietly and said, "Come in."
Delphine entered, only to see Cassius examining her academic records silently for a few moments before saying, "Given your grades in France, you don’t need to return to the country as an exchange student. You could graduate directly."
Cassius glanced up and looked at the simple yet elegant woman before him. His voice softened deliberately: "Delphine, you’re wasting this year of your life."
"It’s mainly because Nicholas is starting kindergarten soon," Delphine replied softly. She wanted to come back to see Benjamin.
"I heard from the preschool teacher that you’re thinking about transferring Nicholas to another kindergarten?" Cassius shifted the topic to Nicholas Carter, his keen intuition already picking up on something unusual. "Nicholas and Benjamin have such a good bond. If you suddenly change his kindergarten, wouldn’t the children be affected?"
Since running into Benjamin, Delphine’s condition has been far from optimal. Now, with her plan to change Nicholas’s kindergarten, Cassius felt the matter had become somewhat complicated.
"I’m still considering it. Professor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out to pick up Nicholas first." Delphine lowered her gaze, her long lashes falling like the wings of a butterfly, quivering lightly. Then she turned and rushed out, accidentally bumping into a young girl.
"I’m sorry," she murmured softly, apologizing quickly before hurrying away.
Lucinda Turner was left momentarily stunned from the collision, only snapping out of it after Delphine had walked far off, rushing to chase her—she couldn’t find her anywhere.
"Second Brother, was that your student just now?" The third Miss of the Land Family stomped in wearing high heels, charging forward to grab Cassius Turner and ask.
"Yes, why?" Cassius replied absentmindedly, his thoughts lingering on Delphine.
Lucinda’s face lit up with excitement, nearly shouting, "Second Brother, she’s Delphine! Delphine! She debuted at 22, won Best Actress at 23 with the leading role in the drama *River’s Legacy*, then vanished for three years. I almost didn’t recognize her just now. I’m a diehard fan—the diehard-est of diehard fans of Delphine!"
The movements in Cassius’s hands suddenly froze.
