Chapter 176: Atrocity
"What?" He repeated. There was so much animosity in her eyes that he couldn’t help feeling intimidated by her. Compared to five years ago, she had changed a lot, and didn’t seem to smile much like she did back then.
The Aurora he knew was someone who smiled at everyone despite the odds. Whenever he disappointed her, she would smile and say she understood him. Now that smile was gone, all that was left was hatred for him and he knew he deserved it, but he didn’t want to admit it. His ego was being bruised and he didn’t want to admit his errors.
Why was he concerned about her after all these years? Could it be that he loved her back then and hadn’t realized it sooner?
"Would you keep on sitting on the floor?" He asked, brushing off the aura she was giving him.
"It’s none of your business, I will take care of myself." Looking away from him, she answered.
"Just let me help you up," he didn’t listen to her and started moving close to her again which infuriated her. Irritated, she grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at his face, standing up in the process.
"Ahhh?" Groaning in pain, he wiped off the sand on his face and cursed under his breath.
"Don’t overestimate yourself, I wouldn’t hesitate to hurt you if you dare come close to me." She warned him and walked away.
"Lucas, Lucas, who did this to you?" Juliet had already appeared and was now tending to him, helping him out with the sand in his eyes.
