Chapter 397: Misunderstood
Sydney didn’t mind his lack of interest and quickly placed her gift in front of him, Jayden looked at it without making any move and only when she pushed it into his hands did he take it.
” Thank you. ” He said and placed the packed gift beside him without giving it a second look.
Sydney felt her heart breaking up, she thought he would be very happy when he saw her gift but he seemed totally indifferent, now she was regretting ignoring him before.
If she had known that her stupid mistake would give a result like this then she would never have acted like that, it would have been much better even if she hadn’t prepared any gift and just said happy birthday.
” Aren’t you going to open it? ” Sydney spoke as the corner of her lips dropped and a sad look appeared on her face.
Jayden thought for a moment then he picked up the gift and opened it, a surprised look appeared on his face when he saw the drawing, he never knew that she could draw so well.
” Do you like it? ” She asked hopefully, while closely observing his expressions.
” It’s good, thank you. ” Jayden said and then stood up, he began to walk back to the big hall while Sydney silently followed behind him.
After arriving near his bed he simply placed the drawing near it and then turned to leave, but he was stopped since Sydney was still standing in his way, her expression was strange as she asked:
” Jay, why are you acting like this? Is it just because I ignored you earlier? I did it only because I was preparing this gift for you, please don’t act like that towards me, if I did something wrong then just tell me, I don’t like our relationship turning into something like this. ”
Jayden stayed silent, he had already understood that the reason she was avoiding him was probably because of this gift, but he still felt that she was just pretending.
Even from the very start, it was totally strange, ignoring the whole class she approached him who was silently reading his book in the corner, then even though he was ignoring her she kept talking to him.
Jayden never thought about these things before, but now it all seemed so strange, taking in a breath he asked: ” Then tell me honestly why did you approach me? ”
Now it was Sydney who was surprised, she didn’t know how to answer this, she couldn’t tell anything to him yet, otherwise, his life might be in danger, and she didn’t want to lie to him, so she spoke:
” Because you are my husband. ”
Jayden sighed and shook his head, he believed that she was still messing with him, and then he spoke:
” There are a lot of others here, why don’t you use them for your entertainment, look I’m tired of your games, so just leave me alone. ”
Sydney’s heart fell the more she listened to his words, she finally knew that he had misunderstood her intentions, but she couldn’t blame him, anyone would find it suspicious yet she couldn’t tell him anything even though she just wanted to tell him everything and take him away with her from this place.
” Please believe me, I have never thought of you like that, I don’t know how to make you believe but I have never lied to you. ” Sydney pleaded, by now other boys were already looking and listening to them.
Jayden noticed the crowd gathering around them, he didn’t want others to listen to their conversation so he walked away from there.
Sydney saw all the boys gathering there, her expression turned cold as if she was looking at some trash, and then she silently followed behind him.
She knew it wouldn’t be an easy task but she was adamant about bringing their relationship back to something even better than before, no matter what she had to do, of course without putting him in any danger.
They walked silently for some time when no one was around Jayden suddenly stopped and turned around while Sydney was deep in thought, so they bumped.
” Ah… Sorry. ”
Sydney said immediately taking a step back, she looked around and found that they were close to her room and no one was around.
Jayden acted like nothing happened and asked: ” Just tell me what do you want from me. ”
“…”
Sydney was silent, she didn’t know how to answer this question, she thought of all kinds of answers in her mind but everything seemed wrong so after a couple of minutes of silence she spoke: ” I just want you. ”
Jayden sighed again, he was getting more and more impatient with her, even though he was being serious she still kept joking, so he decided to just ignore her, but just as he was about to move Sydney spoke again hastily.
” I- I can prove it, prove that you weren’t just a source of entertainment to me, how about it? Will you forgive me then? ” Sydney asked when she saw his expression change and seeing that he was about to walk away.
“…”
Without saying anything he nodded, waiting for her to continue.
Sydney seemed to be deep in thought for a few seconds then she looked around and spoke: ” Then here is my second gift for your birthday, hope you like it. ”
Jayden couldn’t understand what she meant by those words so he just stood silently, he waited for her to take out whatever other gift she was planning to give to him.
Then Sydney took in a deep breath, she suddenly got closer to Jayden and then she pinched his t-shirt tightly, pulling him closer and under Jayden’s stunned gaze she placed her soft lips over his, pressing them gently.
Jayden sniffed her sweet scent, his mind was in chaos, and his breathing quickened as he tasted her delicious lips.
Time seemed to have stopped, he couldn’t make sense of anything, just the taste and softness of her lips, and her sweet scent were it all that was in his mind right now.
After what seemed like an eternity, Syndey finally separated her lips from his, her face was red, and her breathing was fast looking straight into Jayden’s eyes she spoke:
” W- Was it enough to make you believe me? ”
“…”
Even after the kiss had ended, Jayden was still in shock, he hadn’t heard her words at all and just stared at her beautiful face in a daze, he could still feel the softness of her lips and her scent was making him feel strange.
After a long time, he finally asked:
” Why? ”
” Because you are my husband. ” She said, there was still a blush on her face, but a smile adorned her beautiful face.
“…”
Jayden just stared at her for a moment, now seeing her so close was making him see just how gorgeous she actually is, after a few seconds he began to walk back towards the swing.
Sydney smiled and happily followed behind him, she knew that it would take a little bit more time but she was now sure that they could finally be more close than ever.
