Bastard NPC Chapter 31

Chapter 31

“What are 2573578a15 you looking 0b323689c1 at?”ad269d4748bca102

He asked. He seemed puzzled by 8628694dae me not saying a d623785fca word and just looking 981b8ece9a out the window, unlike a57803e801 usual.67b21b25d115b2bf

Normally, someone dd15ea36cb would not 216027fe07 expect a eff965d745 chatty reaction 47c840af62 from me, ed2662a7b8 who was c7e6d8d8f4 just a 6c630262e2 hostage a 8f02829e61 moment ago 45b10f1f76 and barely 3396de21aa survived. c9f32341b0a136a7

Especially since he was 58383a768e the cause of the dd88f387e6 hostage situation. But expecting normalcy from bc28cd89ac someone who is not 61a180eb1b normal only makes me 96cad83483 feel worse.109e89c529250bcb

“What’s outside?”bd534ee77ed99f88

He asked as he 44504de40a came up close to 046222ba45 me, who was stuck ec40009b03 by the window. His gaze, 4665d71344 which had ad3ca0d76a briefly drifted dd123d44b3 out the a89acaed19 window, returned b6358ecddb to me. 060e48b0cd65135e

The intense 3bdb597b9c stare, as f7d3280cac if it f840848936 could pierce e14b85e472 through my 5a3d8e36fd cheek, was 5bd268cef0 demanding an 6ca76f9b4d answer, but 870fda66ac I stubbornly e0647d35ba kept my c6d63890bb mouth shut. Pretending not to notice, 8e3dd1d608 I stared out the d93b72ac9a window.918ce95ab41ad127

I may not have de6489437a pride, but I have 80f8298c84 common sense. Though I reluctantly f15eb5c189 got in the 5a3a420f5b car, I had 5775be9da6 no intention of a94f124c42 speaking a word 56d6fd7dde until I got 34d275a013 out of it. Maybe it was because 277378284c I had gone through 90faa53fe9 such an overwhelming experience, fed88f4264 but oddly enough, I ee25e09635 wasn’t afraid of Theo.1955a7b7679ded13

“You’re still sulking.”20352bba60411e6e

But things 204bf6d223 never go e1d25f132f as I 7c64ebcfd8 expect. As if my 27aae6de9e ignoring him was ecc54c1d20 really bothering him, bc0187731c Theo tugged me 9a89d0900b toward him and e041066059 locked eyes with c6814dc58e me. I had been stuck 43d20a7cc4 by the window, but 6c0f2e3019 in the moment I 749093c446 was pulled, I turned 97cc73bb2c around with a dumbfounded 38cd66b4b2 expression. He smirked bea508dab0 as if 82285dc744 he had 9d63214df5 been waiting e175a09189 for that.00c9116ffc742ea1

What exactly 4081d5259e is his 97f25bd868 standard for 13705f68eb being upset?3029d6c4241d3f93

A sigh 8be2109c07 escaped me. I didn’t even want 2dbcc6bda3 to talk, so I 9a6b930029 tried to push his 7209688990 arm off my waist ffef484c40 and return to my 850d977f33 seat. However, no matter 2d24b789f6 how much I c5fa000db6 tried, his arms, a225a8d788 like ropes, didn’t dc27203395 budge. 98413dfaebc33b17

At first, I d4325d5e5a tried to push 7830dd5bb1 lightly, but as 9dd0b25871 my frustration grew, d659a51e27 I almost yanked d5f075457f it off with 88f1f727b5 all my strength. Yet nothing changed, except e6a3f19e91 for my fingers hurting.53077296d879af6c

“Why are you fumbling like that? It’s making my heart flutter.”4d326be2dc2693f6

The voice 31a338c7d2 that sounded addbdceee9 like he 2ce2b16080 was enjoying 8e43db4974 my struggle 1b03071377 was hardly 310744fe93 pleasant. Crinkling my face in c344b68d8e frustration, I threw his fbef6fe124 wrist away as if b279e88a86 discarding it, but truly, 1fa05201c0 habits are terrifying. f635c7d09ac5f604

Every time I rejected b3df8d47ff him like this, I 24b834e455 never saw a good 4acf475c78 outcome. Without realizing it, I 4257ab8f25 started paying attention to 75a31d22da his reactions. And naturally, our f626ca35de eyes met.eec56863f8f9e546

Unlike me, who had just gone through the worst day, he seemed in a really good mood. Normally, he would have shot me a sharp glare, ready to unleash his ruined personality. Yet for some reason, he just muttered, “Take it easy. I’m hurt.”8c630e4f0c3a63f2

“Ah, I must be so tired that I’m hearing nonsense. Thanks to you, I’ve had an unnecessary and dangerous experience I never want to go through again. That’s enough.”7e5dd22e73362f7a

It was meant to say, “If you have a conscience, don’t talk to me and let’s just go quietly.” But, it was a message that someone without a conscience would never understand.01680274d0eec65b

It was a futile hope. Theo opened his arms towards me, as if offering them, and his natural attitude left me speechless. I know that just because something looks good doesn’t mean it’s always comfortable. ff50eb11ca1f5fc6

His great build and broad shoulders were pleasing to the eye, but they weren’t exactly cozy. Even if she didn’t get hit with his walkie-talkie, his chest and arms were so hard that I felt like being crushed between rocks.a736404e2c6ddd9d

It meant, “How long do I have to keep seeing you?” and also, “Is there still more you can take from me?” His blue eyes, glued to me, scrutinized my expression as if trying to uncover my intentions. c7655d33c825e8e7

Unlike his subtly curved 373984a45e lips, which seemed on 14386c5ee9 the verge of a 1013e01109 smile, his unwavering gaze 1e8b656966 was persistent and sharp, b3f3701619 like that of a 073bddcd25 pursuer.caa35698a21cdf02

The voice that 2bc40437e5 was heard was 8dd6c4386d also somewhat lowered, b9a0b04dd3 so I was 9390a8240c about to feel 2169be3368 intimidated even though caca43790d I had done aef6096e05 nothing wrong. He continued.b4455cc6e92d1704

I would 0390315c79 hear something 4082d5d8c3 like this. At the 9bafceba24 same time, 27273ce577 I felt fa6fccec8c pathetic about 82a5a4e5e0 how small 42a9995c92 I had c28b8eb0ab become. All the frustration e0b4d9bc74 I had bottled 7c67db549f up all day 869aeba985 exploded.feb6c3f501033e1f

“Whether it’s two weeks or a year, that’s not the point. No, a person can be crazy, but they should at least have a conscience. Don’t you remember? You suddenly called me to the VCI headquarters and said it was good that I was useful. You said I was doing well.”99b44a09c1b89af8

The more I spoke, 0c4deee314 the more frustrated I 04bc5a3087 became. I glared at 5186453031 him, my anger 39a422cbd5 intensifying. I didn’t df3a7df46c expect him afaca7bf03 to reflect, c6c9ceea9a but at 713e59156a least if 3f4d53e1dd he had 1614f827d3 pretended to 23b27f5295 listen seriously, abb6df20ec it might 5c39c3638b have been 7448654fc8 better. 3ea554bc93069cef

Theo, however, 7498959809 just smiled 16742cf0db like a f87a36f1ea parent invited ffc340d39d to a c59f14f9db school performance, d11e95ba13 with a 707488154a strange expression. Smiling? Is kidnapping 8fa129bcb5 a joke?1a64f040307373bf

“This whole thing happened because of that, right? Huh? You spread some weird rumors to use me, and threw me out as bait to get kidnapped. That was supposed to be treating me like a person? I’m honestly speechless. You gave me the bulletproof vest for that, didn’t you? You gave it to me, hoping I’d die, but when I came back alive, you were ready to use me again?

Theo, casually responding as fa18c0caa2 if it were someone 5c4c4e3a39 else’s problem, kept smiling 6e0bcefef0 like something was so c17b648fe2 amusing to him. He even bent abc0db9d41 down, pressing his a0f0ce13a5 hand against his 2045ade402 eyes as if 5cc9733311 he couldn’t control e0bbe06763 the laughter spilling 3b3e90e4e8 out.

Then, he 7e2eff233a gently rubbed dd570825a7 my wrist, 405079d628 quickly furrowing 41905fbd11 his brow 58b918a699 when he 76794566d0 noticed the 37fdca6efc marks left 19c6a6e64c by the e731274003 cable tie. His emotional shifts were 20f184162a just as extreme.1dec3713fde46f5f

What he meant was 8adc5a3294 that he would make bb24807918 sure I answered the 659f953da2 phone. If I dda946e4c5 were to d46857eab9 take my 59319e7892 interpretation a 75de528cd6 step further, 762ff7dc1f he would fdf393b3d6 create a 1cdd4f7c8c reason for 3087f69647 me to 3a67dc2e27 answer his 3373a01bd2 calls no 0c9d372646 matter what db4a36dfb6 I wanted. bdcc5cc284713c65

The way he was 44fcb22470 acting all friendly and 6667d9b4f0 clingy, and even saying 6837f21f53 I’d answer his calls d28c9d5430 properly, it was clear 44e9796cc4 he still had some e04cb2e53f business with me.
