Chapter 868
Avery was gonna let her make the choice.
Serena did not know what he was thinking, but she knew he was angry.
He had never spoken to her in such a tone before. The coldness on his face almost froze her.
Although Anabel felt that something was wrong, she was too nervous to think about it. She gave Serena a "please" sign.
Even if Avery was just joking, she had to seize this opportunity. What if he was not joking?
Serena was not comfortable with this. Why would Avery put her in this position?
"I..."
Just when Serena was hesitating, an angry voice sounded. "What are you doing?"
"The teacher's here! Run!" The crowd dispersed.
Relationships were forbidden here and would result in demerits.
Serena had heard of a student who had been expelled for having a relationship.
Avery had just transferred to this school and it was his third year. What if he got a demerit?
Without thinking, she grabbed Avery and ran forward. The moment her soft hand touched his, all his anger was gone.
With his and Serena's background, the could even date openly. The school didn't dare to punish them for anything.
The thing was, Serena had a powerful father who loved her so much. He wouldn't mind buying this school for her.
Although Serena was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she wasn't arrogant at all. Instead, she kept a low profile₀
In order to attend this school, she changed all her high-end clothes into ordinary ones.
Also, she had never told anyone about her family background. She did not want to be special.
Avery just let her take his hand and run. The wind brushed past their cheeks.
The last time they ran hand in hand was a year ago. They were on the way to a concert, but there was traffic. He was afraid of being late, so he took her to run to the concert.
It was one of his happiest moments, and the same thing was happening again.
After a long time, they stopped.
Serena's face was suffused with color, and she had sweat all over her forehead. She was panting heavily.
"The teacher doesn't see you, right?" She gasped.
"No, but I don't think your friend is as lucky as me," Avery said deliberately.
"Oh, crap." When she heard someone say that the teacher was here, all she could think about was run!
"Why did you take me instead of her?" Avery pressed her against a big tree.
It was like something out of a comic book.
Serena had to look up to make eye contact. This made her face redder. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Maybe it was because they were too close, or she just ran too hard, she could feel her heart beating so erratically, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
"I was afraid that you'd be punished." She tried her best to calm herself down.
"I thought you didn't care about me."
"I..."
"You what?" Avery asked. The baby he had fallen in love with at first sight had grown into a young girl.
He knew she was young, so he didn't put too much pressure on her.
However, she really drove him crazy when she gave him her friend's letter. He realized that he could no longer sit still and do nothing.
"I care about you." Serena bit her lip and said.
Avery lifted up her chin and forced her to look him in the eye. He would never give her a chance to escape.
"You know how I feel. Why would you give me that girl's letter? What were you thinking?"
Serena was cold, and he knew that. But it didn't mean that she was fickle.
She was not genetically predisposed to be fickle.
They were still young, and he was willing to wait. So, he didn't tell her that he transferred to her school.
He was not angry with her. He just didn't want to affect her plan. He could silently guard her.
Since she wanted a peaceful life, he would not disturb her.
However, her attitude pissed him off. "What do you take me for? If you say brother, I'll do you right here!"
Serena swallowed and looked at him in disbelief. Of course, she knew what he meant.
They had been getting along as brother and sister, and he had never done anything out of line.
"1-1 don't know." Serena panicked for the first time. She had never felt this way.
"Do you hate me?" Avery felt that he should not treat her as a child again.
She went to Sakura High School behind his back, which meant that she had her own ideas.
"Of course not. You've been so good to me. You're the last person I'd ever hate," she said. Only when she was with Avery would she talk so much.
Thirza liked her Uncle Steve, and she liked the big brother who had a warm smile.
When Tracey asked them where they were going to study, Thirza chose America without hesitation, and she chose here.
She didn't know whether she was doing it for her parents or for him.
Avery had always been a special person to her. She liked him very much.
"Then do you like me?"
"I'm sure I like you, but I can't tell for now if it is kinship or love.
"I'm too young to know love. Avery, I hope that both of us can focus on our studies." Serena was not lying. That was she was thinking.
Avery met her sincere eyes and said, "I'm glad that you didn't lie to me. I can understand, and I never wanted to force you.
"But just because you don't understand love doesn't mean you can set me up with someone else. Serena, you know how much I like you.
"I have never regarded you as my sister. I will marry you. You'll be my wife.
"I can wait for you, but you can't push me away."
Serena blushed again. She knew he was serious, but the word "wife" made her heart race. He was just too precocious!
