Rewriting My Heart's Fate
Chapter 7
Liam's playful and teasing voice sounded, but I didn't even think about turning around. I wanted nothing to do with Ethan, and even less with him.
He walked up to me with his arms crossed, openly staring at me as he rubbed his chin and continued, "You're different from the rumors. They all say you chase after Ethan like a stubborn glue, but just now it looked like you were eager to draw a line between you two. "So what's the deal? New tactic? Playing hard to get?" He suddenly leaned in as he spoke, and his breath brushed against my cheek. "Is this some kind of new strategy to get his attention?"
I instinctively recoiled from his closeness, but a large warm hand gripped my shoulder before I could move. Someone pulled me back, and I found myself falling into a familiar embrace that smelled of cedarwood.
"Stay away from her!" Ethan's voice was icy.
I looked up reflexively and saw his tightly pursed lips and the irritation in his eyes.
I couldn't understand what he was so annoyed about, but being held so close to him made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.
"Let go of me," I said while pushing out of his embrace and taking two steps back to put some distance between us.
Ethan seemed surprised by my retreat. He stared at me for a few seconds. But just as he was about to speak, Leah suddenly appeared and grabbed his arm.
"Ethan, what took you so long to buy some water?" Then, as if just noticing me, Leah said, "Oh, Evelyn, you're here too."
I glanced at her and muttered a simple "Mm".
"Did you follow Ethan here?" Leah's eyes darted between Ethan and me as she clung to his arm and spoke in a sweet and innocent voice.
"Ethan, it's late. You shouldn't hold it against Evelyn for following you. It's not very safe for a girl out here by herself." Her words were passive-aggressive
Just as I was about to respond, Liam's face turned cold as he interjected, "Miss, do you know that spreading false rumors can have legal consequences?"
Liam usually came across as gentle and affectionate, but in reality, he was cold and indifferent. Once his mask of false kindness slipped, he became someone dark and ruthless, like a cheetah in the savannah. One moment, he was lazily basking in the sun, the next baring its fangs to bite into its prey's neck.
