Chapter 41: Take Your Time

I was expecting that, but having Mason confirm it made my eyes widen. I didn't expect that the snobbish Evangeline would fall for someone like Ash. No wonder she's sometimes nice to me and sometimes not. She flaunts how difficult I am and how disgusted she is with me.

So, it was her ego talking.

It's really dangerous to love someone, isn't it? It makes someone like Evangeline, who was rational, act stupid just because of that four-letter word.

"I'll go home. It's already late," he said as he was about to leave, but I immediately grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Are you sure you can go alone?" I tilted my head as I asked. "It's dangerous on the road. I can accompany you."

There are many troublemakers around here, depending on the time. I never knew what those guys were thinking. Sometimes they harass people, sometimes they don't.

They never wanted to cross paths with me, though. They knew what I had done before.

"You were trained for days, while I was trained for years. Don't you think I couldn't fight for myself?" He grinned before gently removing my hand from his arm. "Bye, and deal with your mother already while you still have the chance." "You're scary when you talk like that." I chuckled, but deep down, I was scared of what he had said.

It felt like something terrible was about to happen, and I didn't like it.

"Life is unpredictable. Evangeline always says that to me," he explained, reassuring me not to overthink everything. "I think it's a good quote, so I engraved it on my mind."

I just nodded at him and waved as I watched him walk away from our house.

I entered the house afterward, and greeted my mom before sitting on the chair beside her. It seems like she was waiting for me to approach her, too.
