Chapter 272: Arren and Spade (4)
Arren’s eyes were stained with red after crying for some time. When he got home, he also proceeded directly into her room. He didn’t want his father to see him like this.
He slumped in bed, and all the pain and grievances in his heart were poured out all at once.
Arren harshly scolded himself. If only he didn’t hope for too much. If only he had not confessed, his normal life would still be like before.
With all these thoughts wandering in his mind, Arren chuckled in mockery at himself. He was still too stupid to convince himself. Sometime in the future, this would still happen.
As long as the emperor doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, being rejected and heartbroken is inevitable. Perhaps it was a good thing that this happened now.
Arren shut his eyes as he grew tired from crying. He murmured to himself. This is for the better.
Of course, Arren’s unusual mood was still sensed by his father the next day. However, he didn’t say or ask anything. The Duke only told him to eat and comforted him indirectly.
Like he said, Arren had already decided not to visit the palace again. He even avoided looking for news about the emperor. In fact, Arren had to admit that it was hard to change what had already become a part of his life in the past few years.
Still, he had to persevere and persist. The time would come when Arren would forget the things that had been in his life and move forward. He was looking forward to it, he was.
Being affected by what happened was a matter of course, and Arren gradually grew lazy about reviewing for the college entrance exams. However, he also thought that if he couldn’t make it, all his efforts would be wasted.
He wanted to make his father proud, at least. His exam went smoothly. Arren wasn’t overly confident, but getting in was definitely possible. Arren wasn’t hoping for so much; passing scores were enough.
