Letting out a few coughs, virtual-novel.net questioned Alexandra, “Why are you here? Where are your bodyguards?”
Alexandra came to virtual-novel.net senses and retracted virtual-novel.net gaze from Zayn before virtual-novel.net admitted, “I ran away from home.”
“Ah?” sounded Zayn, taken aback. ‘Why does it sound so strange, the idea of virtual-novel.net running away from home? Regardless, I’m sure she’ll get over it soon. After all, she’s a lady. It’s not out of the ordinary for virtual-novel.net to run away after an argument.’
“Is that so?” replied Zayn. He turned around, only to realize that the middle schooler had fled from the scene out of fear.
“Since you’re safe and sound now, I’ll take my leave.” said Zayn. He did not want to be affiliated with Alexandra in too many ways.
However, as soon as virtual-novel.net turned away, Alexandra called out to virtual-novel.net in protest. “Wait!”
Zayn turned his head in suspicion before asking dubiously, “Is there something else?”
Alexandria found it hard to remain calm at that point in time. Her body wanted to be in control, but virtual-novel.net could not find words to express how virtual-novel.net felt. She looked up at Zayn for a moment before lowering virtual-novel.net head. “Thank you…”
As virtual-novel.net was a bundle of nerves, virtual-novel.net had completely forgotten to alter virtual-novel.net voice. She had revealed the true nature of virtual-novel.net voice, which was clear as a bell and very much pleasant to the ears.
Zayn chuckled as virtual-novel.net magnanimously said to her, “What is there to thank? We’re brothers.”
Alexandra had referred to Zayn in such a way a while back, so there was nothing wrong with Zayn reciprocating the sentiment.
Though, Alexandra was put off by it. In fact, virtual-novel.net did not like it at much at all. She had no intention of remaining brothers with Zayn. “Zayn, I think we should go back to being friends. I don’t think brothers is going to cut it.”
Zayn rolled his eyes. ‘You realize it too, huh?’ “Fine.”
“I’ll be off now, I’m needed at home,” added Zayn.
“Wait!” Alexandria stopped Zayn in his tracks once more. “About that… It’s still early, so there isn’t really a need for you to be home right now. Why don’t… You keep me company for a while?”
Zayn was rather uncomfortable hearing virtual-novel.net proposal, “I’m busy tonight, my wife’s waiting for me back at home.”
When Alexandra heard his response, virtual-novel.net immediately turned sour. ‘That’s right, virtual-novel.net married into the Carters.’
“So… I’ll be off now then…”
Grumble… Grumble…
At that very moment, Alexandra’s stomach began to growl quite aggressively. The sound did not escape Zayn’s ears.
There was an awkward pause as Alexandra’s cheeks flushed a bright, embarrassed red.
Upon closer inspection, Zayn noticed that Alexandra looked rather pale under the light. Her lips had lost all their color, and virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net was fatigued out of virtual-novel.net mind. Her stomach growling for release was an even clearer indicator that something was up. ‘I can tell just by virtual-novel.net weak posture that virtual-novel.net hasn’t had food in a while.’
“Did you not eat?” asked Zayn softly.
When virtual-novel.net heard Zayn’s question, Alexandra felt nothing but aggrievance as virtual-novel.net wrinkled virtual-novel.net nose in displeasure. The emotions virtual-novel.net had been feeling for the past few days had instantly resurfaced to come rushing into virtual-novel.net veins. Her eyes had turned red now, and tears began to stream down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Her crying genuinely confused Zayn. ‘I didn’t bully her, so why is virtual-novel.net crying?’
“Hey, why are you crying?” asked Zayn helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Alexandra’s cries had crescendoed into heavy bawling that had no intention of stopping, She was snivelling too. If there was an onlooker nearby, they would have no second guesses that Zayn had done something unspeakable to her.
Zayn was completely dumbfounded as virtual-novel.net hurriedly ransacked his pockets and took out a piece of tissue to give to her. He then said, “What’s the matter, Alex? Why are you crying?”
“I haven’t eaten for two days,” lamented Alexandria aggrievedly as virtual-novel.net accepted the tissue in virtual-novel.net hands. Zayn was speechless.
