Chapter 129: When the day comes
He scoffed loudly as the smug look on his face was quickly replaced with anger and his ice blue eyes burned with a fiery blaze, my words instantly wiping the smirk off his face. My eyes flickered down to glance at his clenched fists beside his body as his face darkened visibly.
SIlence stretched between us momentarily before he inhaled deeply and broke the silence.
"What did you just say? Did you just call me stupid... again?" He questioned, spitting the words out like they were poison in his mouth as he narrowed his eyes into thin slits, glaring right at me. "You better watch your mouth, Aurelia," he sneered with a disdainful scorn, my name left his lips in a tone filled with contempt.
I raised my eyebrow at him as I kept my gaze steady. "And so what if I did? I’m not afraid to admit that I’m just telling the truth," I retorted bravely, unfazed by the supposedly intimidating look that was plastered across his face. "I just feel sorry for you, really," I emphasised, my tone stressing the last word that left my lips.
"That’s not the truth. I am not stupid. How am I being stupid?" He yelled out, his voice shaking with anger as he reached out to shove my shoulder without a single warning. "I don’t need you to feel sorry for me," he snapped, the words that left his lips were filled with malice.
A frown immediately appeared on my face as I pushed his hand off me, my sharp voice piercing through the tension that was lingering in the air between us.
"Don’t touch me," I warned, gritting my teeth as I stared into his blue eyes. "What is wrong with you?" I asked, my tone carrying a sharp edge to it.
Stella quickly clung onto Blake’s arm, pressing her body against his side as she looked up at him to meet his gaze with her wide doe eyes.
"Babe, are you going to let her speak to you that way?" She added, a smirk tugged at the corners of her lips as she purposefully added fuel to the already wildfire that was spreading uncontrollably. She reached up to cup his cheek in her hand. "I cannot stand seeing my sweet boyfriend getting insulted and berated by a woman like her, you need to teach her a lesson, otherwise she won’t learn," she said as she jutted out her bottom lip to pout and batted her lashes innocently while her free hand rubbed his arm in a comforting manner.
