31 Anger
Selma Payne’s POV:
I couldn’t believe it. Aldrich agreed so quickly and with such certainty.
Just as I was feeling happy, he suddenly changed the topic. “But unfortunately, it’s ti to rest now. I don’t want to delay everyone’s rest ti because of one person. That’s it.”
Huh? What did he an by that?
With everyone’s envious gazes, I dragged the exhausted Mara back to the bathroom. They were all dirty, with sweat and mud all over their bodies. I was the cleanest of them all. There were no glamorous battles in the world. Dust and dirt were our daily routine, except for today.
I leaned against the railing gloomily. I’d rembered what Aldrich did today. Not only did he not tell in advance that he would be coming to our school, but he also did not let participate in the sparring. I’d let him taste this feeling of being ignored this weekend!
Dorothy walked past after her shower, still wet. She suddenly turned back and stared into my eyes without a word. I looked at her in confusion. “Yes, Dorothy?”
She didn’t say anything and suddenly turned to leave, as if our eyes eting just now was just my imagination. She was still mysterious and strange, but I didn’t put too much thought into her. Instead, I was angry at Aldrich.
When I got ho, I found a note in my bag. It was written in beautiful dark green ink. The words were beautiful and familiar. Dorothy had written it. It was like a proverb, “The important things are not necessarily obvious.”
If it were any other ti, I would seriously study its aning, but today was not the ti.
The only thing I wanted to do now was to lie on the bed.
Saturday ca very quickly. It used to be my favorite day because Aldrich and I would plan where we would go and spend a wonderful weekend together. However, today I didn’t want to go out with him. His actions yesterday made angry.
I stayed in the garden alone. This was a new place that I had discovered, not far from the training ground. It was full of flowers of various colors, and few people would co here.
I liked it here. This was the best place to calm my chaotic mind when I was in a bad mood. Being near the calm nature could dispel many negative emotions.
A strong lemon scent drifted over just as I was enjoying my beautiful day alone. My recent training was indeed effective. I hadn’t seen the person, but I could already sll him.
“Hey, Selma, is this your secret base? Why are you ignoring ? I’ve been looking for you all morning.”
I lay on the grass, rolled my eyes, and ignored him.
Aldrich didn’t understand why I was angry. Instead, he started to praise the garden stupidly. “I followed your scent and got here. Thanks to you, I found such a beautiful place.”
I frowned and didn’t look at his confused face. Sotis he was very considerate, but most of the ti, he was just a silly idiot!
“Hey, Selma, co on. Look at and talk to . I’ve already made a reservation at a delicious restaurant,” he begged.
“Do you know what you did wrong?” I pouted and asked him.
Aldrich was stunned and hesitated for a long ti before he asked tentatively, “Was I too late today?”
“No!” I growled. “Why didn’t you tell you were going to our school yesterday? You even played and did not let participate in the sparring!”
He stared at my face as if trying to find sothing on it. “Just because of that?”
“What do you an by just because of that?!”
He laughed heartily, and I looked at him angrily with my arms crossed.
“I’m sorry. I think you’re not ready yet.”
I shook my hand and left, but he held my hand firmly. He looked straight at with a trace of certainty.
“You’re not ready to face a battle yet.”
“I’m ready!” I retorted, not convinced.
His expression had completely changed. He was no longer as relaxed and happy as before. Instead, his expression was serious. This was a rare mont of seriousness, and it was damn charming.
“Why don’t you try?” Aldrich suggested. “If you think you are ready, let’s spar!”
What did he an by that? Was he looking down on ?
I puffed my cheeks and said indignantly, “Fine! I’ll beat you up!”
We had only exchanged a single move, and within three seconds, I fell. I was firmly pressed under him. It all happened so fast that I didn’t even see it coming.
“How?” I shouted in disbelief.
Aldrich’s eyes were like a pool of dark lake water. For the first ti, I saw the ruthlessness of a hunter in his eyes. “I’ll go easy on you.”
