Chapter 617: I Want to Marry You
"Why are you so unreliable? I wasn’t counting on you to get us out of here, but could you at least not walk in the wrong direction? We’re going further and further away!"
Aurora was fuming, practically steaming with anger.
Everett raised an eyebrow coolly. "Is this your first day finding out I’m unreliable?"
Aurora was instantly at a loss for words.
Seeing her flustered and frustrated made Everett feel pretty satisfied. Aurora wiped the sweat off her forehead, exhausted. "So now what?"
Arguing wouldn’t solve anything. As much as he drove her crazy, having him around made her feel safe... Was she being pathetic?
But what could she do? She was alone.
"We’ll have to try heading back."
Everett said it coldly, and Aurora was on the verge of tears, her eyes turning red and her chest rising and falling rapidly.
Seeing her like that, Everett felt a twinge of tenderness. He stepped in front of her and gently wiped off the sweat she’d missed. Aurora flinched and backed away. "Don’t... don’t touch me!"
Everett realized he’d lost his composure again. He covered it up with a scowl. "You think I’m trying to take advantage of you? Dream on."
