Chapter 228 – The New Student
I was shocked and was not able to say anything. It wasn't a dream after all. Caden was in the karaoke bar yesterday and took ho.
Was that the reason dad was acting weird? Was it Caden who asked dad to guard ?
"Alira!" Lea called.
"You didn't know. He ca yesterday. You didn't tell us he's super hot and gorgeous! He's really like a prince!" Samantha comnted.
"How could she tell us? The last ti she saw the guy was when they were six. The nerve of him! After twelve years, he'll show himself without an explanation? If I were you, I would break up with him!" Lea ranted.
"L-Let's not talk about him. Maybe he ca by for a visit." I said.
"Maybe he's here to break the engagent! I an, why would he suddenly appear after twelve years?" Cassy comnted.
I was surprised by what she said and suddenly felt a tightness on my chest. Did he really co here to do that? I bit my lips and ignored what Cassy said, and walked ahead of my friends.
We quietly ca inside the classroom and sat on our seats. I still couldn't believe that Caden was here. I sighed and took one of my books to read. I needed a distraction, and reading was one thing I always do when I'm stressed.
"We have a new transfer student today. Co in!" The professor said.
I wasn't looking when she ca and continued reading. I wasn't even interested in the new student, but Samantha kept tapping my shoulder.
"Alira!" She called.
I turned to look at her with a frown on my face.
"What?" I asked, annoyed.
She wasn't looking at . Her eyes were stuck in front of the classroom. She pointed in the direction of the professor, so I turned to look at who she was staring at.
My eyes widened when I saw who the transfer student was.
"Everyone, this is Caden Richards. He will be attending Golden Oak from now on."
I didn't know what my reaction would be. My heart was beating so fast as I stared into the man in front.
He was around five feet nine inches tall with blonde hair and a pair of silver eyes. He looked like Uncle Jayden when he was younger. But Caden sohow looked manlier than his dad.
"You can sit behind Miss Wilson." The professor said.
As Caden walked towards his seat, he was staring at . But his eyes looked so cold and distant, so I averted my eyes and looked outside the window.
I didn't even know how the first period ended. My mind wandered off the whole class and felt like Caden was staring daggers behind my back.
My friends were giving small glances and couldn't approach .
And I couldn't understand why Caden was acting like that. I should be the one to feel angry. He was the one who abandoned and didn't keep his promise.
I saw so of the girls from our class approach him. They were curious about the new guy who looked like a celebrity who suddenly transferred in the middle of the school year. Many girls were also lurking outside our classroom just to see him.
I felt like sothing was piercing my heart. He wasn't saying anything. He didn't even say hello to . I have the right to at least receive an explanation from him. I was his fiance, after all. Or am I the only one who thinks that we were still engaged?
"Hi, Caden! I'm Bettina. This is Sarah and Luna. We're just wondering if you want to join us. Since you're new here, you could eat lunch with us."
Bettina was one of the pretty girls on campus. I don't have anything against her, but I just didn't like her. I felt like she was constantly staring at , watching my every move.
Everyone was looking at them, waiting for Caden's answer. I bit my lips and waited for him to talk.
"Hey, you! Aren't you going to greet ?" Caden finally talked.
I thought he was talking to Bettina, but I was surprised when Samantha tapped on the shoulder again. I frowned, and when I looked at her, I noticed that everyone was staring at .
When I tilted my head up, Caden was already standing beside . My eyes widened, seeing him staring intently at .
"I-I"
"What? Have you forgotten your fiance's face?" He said in a cold tone.
I heard the students murmuring with each other. Bettina's face was full of confusion.
"W-Wait. Fiance? Who?" Bettina asked.
Caden didn't even glance at the girl who asked the question. I could feel Bettina's irritation because of that. It was the first ti soone ignored her.
"This girl." Caden answered.
To my surprise and everyone's, Caden touched so strands on my hair then leaned forward, giving it a small kiss.
I heard so girls squealing and took so pictures of us. It looked like Caden was bowing in front of , kissing the tip of my hair.
Then he suddenly smiled at .
"Did you miss ?" He asked.
I blinked twice. I couldn't believe that he was really in front of . But how could he act as nothing had happened? Did he think I would just accept him again after abandoning for two years?
Before I had the chance to answer, Lucas ca rushing in our classroom.
"Asshole! What do you think you're doing?" Lucas asked with gritted teeth.
Then he grabbed my hand to pull away from Caden, but Caden suddenly grabbed my other hand, pulling towards him.
"Let her go!" Caden almost yelled.
"She's my sister!" Lucas yelled back.
"She's my fiance!" It was the second ti Caden called his fiance.
I was beginning to get mad because they were both pulling by my hands, and they were already hurting . We also attracted more people who were taking photos and videos of us.
"Stop both of you!" I yelled.
I know everyone was surprised; it was the first ti I yelled that loud at anyone.
I glared at Lucas and snatched my hand away from him. Then I turned to Caden, snatching my other hand.
"You! Don't act like everything was okay. You owe an explanation!" I said in a firm tone.
I turned to Lucas again. "I'm okay. You don't need to protect anymore.. I need to talk to him, so go back to your class."
