Chapter 218: Beyond Expectations
“...You are missing the point! Stop teasing me!” I cried out before I laughed.
“Hahaha! You’re really fun to tease,” Edward said as he started laughing along with me.
“Stop it, Edward!” I yelled at him jokingly.
“My work is fine. I can manage. There is nothing for you to worry about. If I’m required to be there in person; then I will be. Just trust my judgement, ok?” Edward explained. For once since this conversation started, he was answering me seriously.
“Ok...if you say so...” I mumbled, only half convinced.
However, I had to take his word for it and leave it at that. I admit it still felt weird knowing what Edward was doing and where he was all the time and not learning about his wild adventures from the news.
After a while of driving, we seemed to have arrived at our destination as the car came to a stop.
“We’re here,” Edward announced as he got out of the car and came to my side.
He opened the car door for me in one swift motion before bowing. For a moment, I was reminded of Reiner, and I cursed myself for it. That thought was gone as suddenly as it came when Edward’s handsome face smiled up at me. Wow...he looks just like a prince.
A slightly twisted and evil one...but still a prince.
Placing my hand in his awaiting one, Edward got up and helped me out of the car. I thanked him politely as I made sure that I didn’t fall flat on my face and ruin this magical moment.
