Chapter 161
Madeline didn’t understand what went wrong. She just thought it would be great for everyone to know that Madeline would always protect him no matter what, so nobody would bully Nathan.
But apparently, she made a mistake.
"Nathan, I just want to help..."
"You can help by NOT showing your face to my friends!" Nathan yelled, but then he realized that he was snapping at Madeline, who probably didn’t understand the problem he’d be experiencing in the future after Madeline came to pick him up. "Please never pick me up again, Maddy. I’m begging you. You’re only going to make my school life harder than it is."
Madeline was stunned by his sudden outburst.
She didn’t understand the concern, but she knew Nathan was in a terrible mood now.
Thus, all she could say to defuse his anger was, "Don’t hesitate to tell me if you need my help. I’m always here to protect you, Nathan."
Nathan didn’t give her an answer. He leaned on the window while staring at the scenery outside.
He was so disturbed by the gaze that his friends gave to Madeline, and he knew damn well that his school life would get ten times more difficult now.
People in his school always asked him if he was Madeline Rose’s real brother.
But since Nathan had always refused to answer, it became just that—a rumor.
As long as Madeline didn’t show up at his school, then it’d stay as a rumor that nobody could prove.
