After returning to school, Elise Don frantically caught up on several days' worth of assignments to keep up with the teaching schedule.
With finals approaching, many courses began exams one after another. In her fashion design major, which emphasized practical skills, Elise Don had to revise multiple versions of her designs, only to have them all rejected.
She was feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Oliver Bloom returned from his vacation, and they managed to have a quick meal together. Later, while they were out shopping, Marian Bloom appeared, and Oliver's face turned gloomy.
The date ended on a sour note, and eventually, she didn't even know when Oliver returned to Chester City.
The Asian Games were set to open in April, an international event, prompting Oliver to embark on a new round of intense training with a longer duration and greater intensity. Elise Don planned to rent a place in Chester City after her finals to stay with Oliver during the winter break as his sparring partner.
