NOVEL WEB Chapter 48
Chapter 48: I’ll Take You To School
I rolled my eyes. Michael knew it was impossible, but he didn’t want to tell me.
“If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t.” I walked past Michael to the cloakroom and started picking out clothes.
Michael leaned against the closet and looked at me. He wanted to see me change, but I wouldn’t let him. I slammed the walk-in closet door in front of him.
“You better hurry up. You’re going to be late for class,” Michael said from outside.
I grabbed my phone and glanced at it. Oh my god! It was already 10:00. My class was at 10:30. No, why would Michael care about my class? I started to put on my shirt and jeans.
When I opened the closet door, Michael was standing in the doorway.
“I’ll take you to class today,” he said.
I looked at him suspiciously. Michael spread his hands and said, “You’ve lost my trust the last time you snuck out. I’ll pick you up myself this time.”
He didn’t give up on his child-minding methods. I glared at him, but Michael didn’t budge.
“If you don’t want to go to school, that’s even better.” Michael raised his eyebrows. “I’d rather you stay in the room.”
“I’ll go, just like you arranged.” I walked past him and started to pack the textbooks I wanted to bring. “Prince Lycan is willing to be my driver. Why wouldn’t I want that?”
“That’s good.” Michael didn’t care about what I said. He had already changed into a white suit at some point.
There was nothing wrong with the tailoring of the suit, but it was exaggerated to the point that it was splashed with ink to create a variety of colors. This flashy and frivolous suit style might appear silly to ordinary people, but on Michael, his aura completely suppressed the gaudiness, only making him appear slender and fresh.
Michael said, “I’ll wait for you downstairs. You’d better come down in five minutes or be late.”
As I walked to the door, Michael seemed to remember something and said to me, “By the way, now that you’ve found out, I have to remind you not to mess with me when my wolf appears.”
I hurried downstairs, where Michael was already waiting in his black car.
I opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. I came down in such a hurry that I didn’t even have time to apply some lotion and makeup on my face. I had to bring them down and apply only primer on my face in the car.
Michael tilted his head and glanced at me. “You were fine the way you were.”
“Then, you must have never seen me before,” I said casually.
“What happened before?” Michael started the car.
“Before I went to college, I looked completely different from now.” I closed the small mirror on the visor in the car and pursed my lips covered in lipstick. “My classmates back then…”
I caught a glimpse of Michael’s slightly furrowed brows out of the corner of my eye, and I suddenly stopped talking.
What was I doing now? I was sitting in the car chatting with Michael like a friend telling him about my past. We had never sat down and had a peaceful conversation like this before, even if these were unimportant words.
“What happened to your classmate?” Michael stopped the car at the traffic light and turned to ask me.
From this angle, Michael’s expression looked pure and innocent. When the sunlight hit his face, he looked like an ignorant and handsome teenager. My heart stopped beating for a moment.
His eyes were deep,, and his nose bridge was high. Evil and innocence were intertwined. For a moment, I felt moved.
“Nothing.” I suppressed my throbbing heart and looked out of the window.
Michael took the initiative to change the topic and said, “I heard that because of me, you are now very popular in school.”
I had almost forgotten that I had such a problem. Everyone was very curious about me because of Michael’s identity. I didn’t know if the situation would improve after a week. I didn’t want to face so many strange gazes if I could.
“If you think it’s bothering you, I can help you deal with them,” Michael said.
I looked at Michael and predicted what he was going to say next.
“You know, I don’t mind spending the whole day together,” Michael said seductively. When he deliberately lowered his gaze, he had an indescribable demonic beauty.
“Their whispers will annoy you, but they won’t dare to do that again if I’m with you. You’ll be safe with me.”
“If you follow me, it’ll only stir up more gossip.” I looked at him sideways. “And don’t you have anything else to do? Do you want to tell me that I don’t have to go to class if you’re not here?”
“I’m just being kind and don’t want you to be bothered,” Michael said.
“Thank you very much.”
Michael was trying to get me out of school so that he could monitor my every move, but I wasn’t a puppet at his mercy. He would know that sooner or later.
