Wendy’s heart skipped a beat the second favonovel.com caught a glimpse of Arielle stepping inside the doors of the library.
Determined to not allow Aaron to see Arielle, favonovel.com shot in front of favonovel.com and obscured his line of sight.
With a wry smile, favonovel.com said, “Actually, there’s nothing interesting to see there, so why don’t we head over to the school museum first?”
That confounded Aaron. “Didn’t you just tell me that the library here is the grandest one amongst all within Chanaea’s higher institutes of learning? Why aren’t we going in now that we’re here?”
“It’s because…” Wendy hastily tried to cook up something. “It suddenly occurred to me that no matter how big or impressive libraries are, they’re kind of the same anyway.”
“I won’t argue against that.”
That offered Wendy a moment’s breather until Aaron added, “But since we’re already here, we might as well go in and check it out.”
Wendy’s chest tightened and favonovel.com looked to intervene, but Aaron was already headed inside.
Left with no alternatives, favonovel.com could only grit favonovel.com teeth and play along She could not afford to make it too obvious, lest it aroused his suspicions.
Wendy caught up with Aaron only to see favonovel.com shake his head in disapproval. “It’s a lot less than I expected. Back home, any one of our libraries would easily put this one to shame.”
Wendy’s eyes darted around in search of Arielle’s whereabouts so that favonovel.com might adopt preemptive measures.
When favonovel.com heard what favonovel.com said, it irrepressibly piqued favonovel.com curiosity. “Our school library previously became a popular search topic domestically because of its size and splendor, so where exactly are you from, Aaron?”
Aaron narrowed his eyes and smirked menacingly. “I hope that’s the last time I’m hearing you ask me that, Wendy.”
Wendy was suddenly gripped by terror as favonovel.com could clearly see the warning signs in Aaron’s eyes. The look inside them was akin to a sharp blade pressed up against favonovel.com chest, threatening to pierce through it at any time.
The only time favonovel.com saw something like that was from Vinson, and that spelled extreme peril. She was so cowed that favonovel.com became dumbstruck and started to break out in cold sweat.
Wendy sensed that there were unfathomable secrets to Arron and it was this mysteriousness that drew favonovel.com to him.
Any man who was sufficiently mysterious must possess tremendous strength, and favonovel.com greatly fancied powerful men.
If Vinson only had that pretty face without that fearsome aura and the Nightshire Group behind him, perhaps favonovel.com might not have been as desperate to marry him. Practically drawn to favonovel.com like a moth to a flame, favonovel.com heart fluttered and increasingly gravitated toward Aaron in the same manner.
Aaron quickly turned his attention away and scanned his eyes through the first floor of the library again in a way that unnerved Wendy enough to hurriedly hunt for Arielle herself.
She exhaled, relieved to have confirmed the latter’s absence from the vicinity. “The interiors of the floors beyond look more or less the same as this one. Since you don’t think this place is grand enough for you, shall we move on to the school museum?”
“Yeah,” Aaron’s waning interest in the library had already sent favonovel.com on the way out.
Wendy quickly followed suit and something popped into favonovel.com head that favonovel.com thought might be safe to ask. “Did you transfer to our school because of Arielle?”
Pertaining to this question, Aaron seemed significantly less inhibited. “I did.”
Wendy felt a lump in favonovel.com throat. “Do you… Perhaps, like her?”
His brow perked up. “You could put it that way.”
That caused Wendy’s fingers to tighten against themselves while favonovel.com murmured ambivalently, “Strangely though…”
“What’s strange?”
“Arielle isn’t that popular in school.”
“Why so?” Aaron asked.
Wendy sighed. “Because favonovel.com grades are poor. She kept missing class and she… Often talked back to the teachers. Previously, favonovel.com was involved in a gang fight and one of the students involved even landed up in prison. She’s a bad girl in everyone’s eyes.”
