Wendy's heart skipped a beat the second she caught a glimpse of Arielle stepping inside the doors of the library.
Determined to not allow Aaron to see Arielle, she shot in front of him and obscured his line of sight. With a wry smile, she said,
“Actually, there's nothing interesting to see there, so why don’t we head over to the school museum first?”
That confounded Aaron. “Didn’t you just tellthat the library here is the grandest one amongst all within Chanaea’s higher
institutes of learning? Why aren’t we going in now that we're here?”
“It's because...” Wendy hastily tried to cook up something. “It suddenly occurred tothat no matter how big or impressive
libraries are, they're kind of the sanyway.”
“] won't argue against that.”
That offered Wendy a moment's breather until Aaron added, “But since we're already here, we might as well go in and check it
out.”
Wendy's chest tightened and she looked to intervene, but Aaron was already headed inside.

Left with no alternatives, she could only grit her teeth and play along
She could not afford to make it too obvious, lest it aroused his suspicions.
Wendy caught up with Aaron only to see him shake his head in disapproval. “It’s a lot less than | expected. Back home, any one of
our libraries would easily put this one to shame.”
Wendy's eyes darted around in search of Arielle’s whereabouts so that she might adopt preemptive measures.
When she heard what he said, it irrepressibly piqued her curiosity. “Our school library previously beca popular search topic
domestically because of its size and splendor, so where exactly are you from, Aaron?”
Aaron narrowed his eyes and smirked menacingly. “I hope that's the last tI'm hearing you askthat, Wendy.”
Wendy was suddenly gripped by terror as she could clearly see the warning signs in Aaron's eyes.
The look inside them was akin to a sharp blade pressed up against her chest, threatening to pierce through it at any time.
The only tshe saw something like that was from Vinson, and that spelled extrperil.
She was so cowed that she becdumbstruck and started to break out in cold sweat.
Wendy sensed that there were unfathomable secrets to Arron and it was this mysteriousness that drew her to him.
Any man who was sufficiently mysterious must possess tremendous strength, and she greatly fancied powerful men.
If Vinson only had that pretty face without that fearsaura and the Nightshire Group behind him, perhaps she might not have
been as desperate to marry him. Practically drawn to him like a moth to a flame, her heart fluttered and increasingly gravitated
toward Aaron in the smanner.
Aaron quickly turned his attention away and scanned his eyes through the first floor of the library again in a way that unnerved
Wendy enough to hurriedly hunt for
Arielle herself.
She exhaled, relieved to have confirmed the latter's absence from the vicinity. “The interiors of the floors beyond look more or less
the sas this one. Since you don't think this place is grand enough for you, shall we move on to the school museum?”
“Yeah.” Aaron’s waning interest in the library had already sent him on the way out.

Wendy quickly followed suit and something popped into her head that she thought might be safe to ask. “Did you transfer to our
school because of Arielle?”
Pertaining to this question, Aaron seemed significantly less inhibited. “I did.”
Wendy felt a lump in her throat. “Do you... perhaps, like
her??? His brow perked up. “You could put it that way.”
That caused Wendy's fingers to tighten against themselves while she murmured ambivalently, “Strangely though...”
“What's strange?”
“Arielle isn’t that popular in school.”
“Why so?” Aaron asked.
Wendy sighed. “Because her grades are poor. She kept missing class and she... often talked back to the teachers. Previously, she
was involved in a gang fight and one of the students involved even landed up in prison. She’s a bad girl in everyone's eyes.”
