Chapter 396: Angry?
After hearing those words, Sydney frowned and spoke:
” I know that it is dangerous but I have been extremely careful, I just want to stay here for some more time. ” The shadow shook its head and said:
” You killed eight men, and even used your powers open for that, it was because of it that those people got closer to here any way you could only stay for some more time here, we don’t want Jayden to finally get caught after so much time. ”
He stayed silent for some time and asked:
” So what are your thoughts about him now, if nothing bad happens and given enough time I’m sure he would easily be able to return back to his peak, but this time, I’m sure he will be even better. ”
After listening to these words, Sydney nodded and spoke:
” Uncle, I’m sure that’ll be the case, once he decides to do something he won’t stop, his attitude is totally worthy of being one of us. ”
Something similar to a smile appeared on the shadow’s face, as he spoke:
” So you still think your father made a mistake when he engaged you with him? I remember when you found out about it, you threw a tantrum. ”
Shaking her head she replied:
” No Father did the right thing, every day is so much fun with him, and I can’t wait until that limitation is removed and then we would finally be able to spar and go back our real home. But how long does he have to stay here? ”
Sydney asked with a pout.
” We can’t do anything yet, there is still some time before the preparation is finished, and everything will be up to Jayden to decide what kind of life he wants to choose. ” The shadow said and then added:
” All right, I’m going now or those people might be able to sense my location, also be careful when you are dealing with him his emotions aren’t very stable, one wrong move and you will lose whatever relation you have with him.
And since Richard is already dead, the pact has no weight now. ” Sydney had a confused expression as she listened to those words, but the shadow didn’t explain anything further and soon disappeared.
Sydney stood in silence and pondered his words, she was already feeling strange since Jayden hadn’t been coming to meet her anymore, so she believed maybe her plan to give him a surprise back fired.
It was time for class, so she decided to go meet him in the class, then changing into different clothes she walked out of her room when she got closer she saw many boys looking at her and whispering among themselves, and because of her acute hearing she was easily able to hear everything:
” Do you think I should approach her now, maybe she will talk to me too, even Jayden was able to do it. ” One of the boys spoke.
” Fufu It feels so satisfying now, I have never liked it when they acted so close, hahaha now he is back to his past self. ”
Most of the boys were saying similar things as they stared at Sydney, one of the boys even built up the courage to come towards her:
” S- Sydney, would you l- like to eat l- l- lunch with me? I- I will… ”
He stuttered while he spoke and when he was saying the last words he glanced towards Sydney’s face to see her reaction, and his words were immediately thrown back to his throat when he saw the look on her face, she hadn’t even looked at him, while her brows were coming together in a frown.
Seeing her like this, the boy lost all his confidence and turned his head down, he was about to cry, and all the other boys who were thinking of asking her to eat lunch with them suddenly turned their heads away and sat back in their seats.
Several laughter rang out as they laughed at the boy who had just made a joke of himself in front of all of them, ignoring everything Sydney entered the class she looked around and didn’t found Jayden in their usual seat, she looked at other seats and then finally found him sitting alone on one of the seats in the back of the class while he was reading a book.
With her uncle’s words ringing into her ears, she slowly approached Jayden’s seat and when she arrived in front of him she asked:
” Jay, why are you sitting here? ”
Jayden glanced up at her, then looking back at his book he replied in an emotionless tone:
” Just because. ”
Sydney felt that something was definitely wrong with him, she thought maybe he was angry because she had been ignoring him for the past few days, thinking this she sat beside him and began to talk normally as if nothing was wrong.
All the boys who were curiously waiting for some drama had their hopes crushed, Jayden was the one who was acting different while Sydney seemed like her usual self.
” Jay, do you remember what day is tomorrow? ”
She asked, though after spending so much time with him she already knew that he never really cared about this birthday of his.
” Uh huh ”
without taking his face away from the book, Jayden just mumbled.
Sydney wasn’t going to give up just like that she kept making small talk but Jayden wasn’t paying much attention to her, he felt that she was only here because she got bored with other things so she came to find him as a time pass.
Soon an old female teacher came into the class and everyone turned silent, even though Sydney kept asking different things Jayden just replied with:
” Hmm ”
The class ended, and without looking at Sydney he went to eat his food. She was starting to feel that maybe it was more than just his anger towards her for not responding to him before, and her uncle’s words made her believe it even more.
She felt like they had returned to the time when they had just met, but it was definitely much worse than that time since it would be even more difficult to win his trust a second time.
Sydney tried talking to him for an entire day but he remained the same, on the next day she went early to meet him while bringing her gift along.
She had a big smile on her face as she anticipated his response to her gift, she thought maybe he would just forgive her after finding that this gift was the reason why she had ignored him before.
When she arrived near the hall she found that he wasn’t there so she went outside into the field and found him sitting on a swing, getting closer to him from behind she suddenly jumped in front of him, trying to give him a jump scare.
But she failed, miserably at that, so she brought her gift in front of him and spoke: ” Happy birthday Jay. ”
Jayden seemed surprised for a moment since he had only just found out about it, but then he stared blankly at her.
