Chapter 56: A Man’s Intuition
"What’s with your gloomy face, dear?" Mrs. Chan asked the next morning.
"You have finally achieved your goal on being admitted to the Military Academy, how come you look like uhm not that excited, unlike before? You still can quit early, dear... Study abroad..." Mrs. Chan added.
"It’s not that, Mom, it’s Jeru. I mean I feel like he is acting weird. I clearly tell him how I don’t see him as a partner last night but he smiled." Keira murmured. She was feeling uneasy the whole last night.
"I see you are worried that Zach might do the same to you like what you did to Jeru? Or is it that you feel bad about Jeru?" Her mom asked, looking closely at her as she was curious what was it that her daughter was pondering about.
Keira sighed and smiled at her mother.
"I think it’s both, Mom. But you’re wrong about Zach... You know I never quit what I have started, so wait for those six months and let’s see how everything progress. About Jeru, I just hope he is sincere with his words that he just wants to make friends and nothing more. But... it’s just that I feel like he is up to something or maybe I’m just paranoid?" Keira said with pouty lips.
"You are too confident about Zach" Her mother muttered.
"Haha, it’s because I always have a fallback plan, Mom... If he refuses this time. There’s still years ahead." Keira said laughing.
"And during those years ahead he will be well guarded in case I’m not present..." Keira said and left her mom confused. Keira just laughed and added, "Don’t think too much, Mom, or you will age and have wrinkles."
