Chapter 116: Queen Of Spiders (3)
The rest of the journey to the cave was pretty uneventful. Taheton seemed to have learned his lesson and kept to himself, but Adrian often saw him staring in his direction or gossiping with Sula.
At first, Adrian was worried that the two would be cooking up some scheme. But so far, they hadn’t done anything to raise his suspicion.
The heroes mostly kept to themselves. However, Adrian couldn’t ignore a peculiar change in Vincent’s demeanour. Since the confrontation with the girls, Vincent’s glares had become more frequent and intense, as if he was cursing him inside his head.
How did he know? That’s what Vincent used to do before when he was jealous.
’Jealous of what though?’ Adrian pondered.
The thought of Vincent being jealous came naturally to him. However, he couldn’t remember why he felt that way. After all, if anyone should have been jealous, it would have been Adrian, as Vincent was living the best of his life—apart from their little jungle safari, that is.
Still, the thought of Vincent’s jealousy made Adrian feel a mix of emotions, including confusion and a hint of satisfaction, but he couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was something more to it.
But Vincent wasn’t the only one behaving oddly. Clara was doing the same. For a moment, the thought of them seeing him crossed his mind, but Adrian quickly shook it off.
’I looked around before undoing my transformation, but nobody was there. They couldn’t know about me... unless Amelia or Sophia spilled the beans.’
