Unable to take Shaelyn’s various coquettish ways of pleading, Zayn could only agree to her. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net had first gone back to Barrow Cove to let Faye and virtual-novel.net family know that virtual-novel.net was doing fine, then virtual-novel.net met Sean and Gordon briefly and let the rest of them know that virtual-novel.net was okay.
Catching news that virtual-novel.net had reappeared, people swarmed to look for virtual-novel.net promptly with extravagant presents to apologize and grovel to him. Nevertheless, Zayn ignored them. They were people capricious to parties in their interest. They dissociated themselves with Zayn because of Mia this time, thus they could do the same and betray virtual-novel.net the next time they met a similar encounter.
Having that said, Zayn was not going to cut them off and offend them either. He had to put on airs, leave them hanging for a while, then accept their toadying when the time was right.
Zayn was now the talk of the town in Guineve after defeating Mia, but virtual-novel.net could not fall out with everyone no matter how capable virtual-novel.net was. To maintain long-term development and broaden his influence, virtual-novel.net had to continuously make friends. An extra friend would always come in handy regardless of time.
After virtual-novel.net left his instructions for everything, virtual-novel.net went back to Shaelyn’s hometown with her.
It was not in Waltz City or Fenx City but somewhere with a mild climate suited for living, Tael City.
It was Zayn’s first time in Tael City, and it left a good impression on virtual-novel.net as the weather was clement and the scenery was picturesque. Shaelyn seemed to be in a good mood as virtual-novel.net looked like a free bird who clung to Zayn’s arm all the time. Affected by virtual-novel.net cheer, Zayn grew much more relaxed as well.
“This is your hometown?” virtual-novel.net asked, gazing at the serene place.
“Yeah, what do you think? It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Shaelyn retorted proudly with a tipped chin.
With a nod, Zayn answered, “It’s not bad.”
Coming out of the car, Shaelyn kept virtual-novel.net hands hooked around his arm intimately and continued in pride, “That’s for sure. A beautiful place like Tael City produces lots of talents and pretty girls.”
Zayn actually agreed with the comment. As virtual-novel.net let his eyes roam, virtual-novel.net did see many beautiful women, but they were, of course, still lacking compared to a gorgeous darling like Shaelyn.
A surprised voice came from behind them suddenly. “Lottie, is that you?”
Shaelyn turned back at the voice to see an old man and gasped in delight. “Uncle, it’s you!”
The elder beamed happily when virtual-novel.net saw Shaelyn. “You haven’t been back for so long, girly. I thought you went missing.”
Then, the old man saw Zayn next to Shaelyn and noticed their hooked arms. There was a change in his expression as his voice went deeper to ask, “Lottie, who’s this beside you?”
Grinning, Shaelyn answered, “He’s my boyfriend. Hasn’t Mom been worried about me being single? I’m bringing my boyfriend back now.”
Her uncle did not share virtual-novel.net glee and his expression turned sterner. “Lottie, come with me.”
“What’s up, uncle?” Shaelyn had a sense of foreboding looking at the man’s grim expression.
The old man pulled virtual-novel.net aside and spoke in a low tone, “Lottie, goodness, why are you bringing your boyfriend home at this time? Your mom set you up with a blind date who’s incredibly eligible. He’s waiting for you at home! Aren’t you insulting virtual-novel.net by bringing a man home now?”
Both of them had gone to the side, but Zayn could catch what they said clearly.
