Chapter 129: Was he flirting with her?
Unlike those books, Esther was not Ella’s half sister or step-sister. She was her biological sister. They grew up together and their memories were filled with nothing but good times of their childhood.
Since young, Esther was the one who would give her the better toy and keep the broken one for herself. So, Ella had thought that the world could turn its back on her, Esther never would.
Even after living and dying once, Ella could not figure out where it all went wrong. Then, how could her stupid self have known about it in her previous life?
Seeing Ella standing in a daze, more tears rolled down Ruby’s cheeks. Strands of her long red hair clung to her damp face.
"You were going through so much yet all that while, I only cared about myself," Ruby shook her head, "I was not in your shoes. I did not know how it felt to be cornered by everyone. I turned away from you just because of a few bad words. Yet, you did not abandon me that day. You got kidnapped because of me..."
Ruby trailed off when she felt a warmth on her head.
"Since you heard everything, you should know that I was their target, but I just happened to drag you in. What happened in the past was my fault as well. I just... was blind..." Ella patted her hair, "But, things are different now. If you can forgive me—"
Ella’s chest still ached with lingering heaviness. But before she could speak—’Bam.’ ’Crash.’
The noises made Ella and Ruby turn.
At the end of the hallway, Kade stood. With his sunken eyes, messy hairs, and pale face, he looked like a stressed out vampire.
His bag had landed near his feet on the floor. He was panting like a dog, as if he came sprinting there like his life depended on it.
