Bastard NPC Chapter 31

Chapter 31

“What are you looking 5e52ae7819 at?”cd6fe4d75b8ae8df

He asked. He seemed puzzled by 9dd131e3cf me not saying a 0add93823a word and just looking 8370189286 out the window, unlike 486378362d usual.5f70879d9feba024

Normally, someone ec33199861 would not b0117037f9 expect a 629831c52a chatty reaction 4f1348c06c from me, 4d8468bca3 who was fdc4e7468e just a d1a852e840 hostage a 27de786f01 moment ago 474fd0d9e5 and barely e22c629f50 survived. 1eded510c16a2183

Especially since he 5c1c7c3d74 was the cause 72e3fe6b90 of the hostage 955daadd6e situation. But expecting 65d108735f normalcy from fb5136313c someone who 7062c0a163 is not ddb98cea42 normal only 4b8fb7fe44 makes me 3e4dd45d5e feel worse.247a77241d70402e

“What’s outside?”4d29bfac99789756

He asked 20abe76bff as he b4cd71741d came up 3924d0f8cf close to b203d1446b me, who 01a934c5df was stuck 86535a5a85 by the 14f3c3c8c2 window. His gaze, which had f5ed7a6f99 briefly drifted out the 5a68c8af3a window, returned to me. 7be16981dbd84939

The intense stare, db35b57794 as if it e0387d3e96 could pierce through 4d8706ae72 my cheek, was 13326210c4 demanding an answer, a6e06d83ec but I stubbornly f46d9c574b kept my mouth b58e0ca6fd shut. Pretending not to notice, 0fc658256b I stared out the 675daaa369 window.4678788c335e470a

I may not 2f878464fc have pride, but e7524c87b8 I have common 8dc2044346 sense. Though I reluctantly got 98b05305ce in the car, I 6a21667f2d had no intention of 35167de02f speaking a word until cd0771ceb7 I got out of fa8293809e it. Maybe it ed854dbad2 was because 8dd907e562 I had 9f525136c7 gone through 7a3fb61ce1 such an 882c1fcb4d overwhelming experience, e740d1a62d but oddly 234fa78e26 enough, I bcd1e7aeb6 wasn’t afraid 9b3fe78b8f of Theo.ada94f4b9c4779ed

But things never go daa540362e as I expect. As if my 5fabbee5ce ignoring him was 623f6a3cf4 really bothering him, ab2d0a232b Theo tugged me ab0042a2ce toward him and d8766aceb6 locked eyes with 5fc4787aab me. I had been stuck 2c39698c22 by the window, but f648632c7e in the moment I c562109fb7 was pulled, I turned 0a668effe6 around with a dumbfounded 37ec731b42 expression. He smirked as if f0851a3a83 he had been waiting 75434d7ebb for that.b3fa776ae8fb3f75

A sigh escaped me. I didn’t even want 9fd9c482eb to talk, so I 34eaa04228 tried to push his 8259966f62 arm off my waist 992358c302 and return to my 066b84e46c seat. However, no 45f6bd6641 matter how 5cbdd5963c much I 5980d3ab4f tried, his cfc841347e arms, like fdcf4c3103 ropes, didn’t 6eb89999c9 budge. 2d367ac892040673

At first, 7ff27b55a1 I tried bbcc41d685 to push 470e400c1e lightly, but 870febeaee as my 0bf2d71ddf frustration grew, 631ae2c2b1 I almost 006f4ea0d2 yanked it 4ff93fc203 off with f69129910e all my 63a1df2032 strength. Yet nothing changed, except d074d1fe80 for my fingers hurting.258cab1f2387db63

“Why are you fumbling like that? It’s making my heart flutter.”fbab498f0c431e96

The voice 38fcf998b3 that sounded 57290f22ae like he 68a5a34bc1 was enjoying fa7279ddea my struggle b1de600319 was hardly adfadf6126 pleasant. Crinkling my 438f9d5286 face in 499372dc15 frustration, I b746f2789f threw his d6123b47a4 wrist away 3eb1381c75 as if 06e806850a discarding it, ca42665093 but truly, eb48bf3e74 habits are 3d5abb00a5 terrifying. 9074b7ef0a45223d

Every time I 5721c85fd6 rejected him like a681b77cdb this, I never baa94508c7 saw a good afbe9c0c0a outcome. Without realizing it, I 76fd3b84c0 started paying attention to 405da6e191 his reactions. And naturally, our eyes b22498c77c met.0677f2dd59ac6956

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.”6837ef707853b8f4

“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.”8a28d10b4351b0d3

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.2ecffe97dcd3b88e

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. cfa5997edaea0a9c

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.85ad3afbef55d0a0

Unlike his subtly b8551c421a curved lips, which 2dea8c722b seemed on the c8ec1231f2 verge of a 103bccec97 smile, his unwavering a2fa656814 gaze was persistent 8733569bec and sharp, like 9e50854bbd that of a c0fd6d8891 pursuer.e7e728a8cd253fe0

I would hear something 8c09ec7a52 like this. At the same 37da250100 time, I felt 990f7fe07b pathetic about how 03d096929f small I had b760f60ae3 become. All the frustration I a4a32f89e7 had bottled up all 01398b4da7 day exploded.b462ff766d7543f0

The more 5294b84063 I spoke, eda7e4ba97 the more cb21f0c7f1 frustrated I 019e643271 became. I glared f480f183fd at him, e94c4a5824 my anger f59e5976f8 intensifying. I didn’t d2e4f505d0 expect him 2a913e3b50 to reflect, f302774745 but at 7e25ed8a70 least if 47b64b5e41 he had 1525083afd pretended to 2abd6f70f4 listen seriously, 631dec3059 it might 117482a5cd have been 7751e87dfc better. 9f323ad1486ca339

Theo, however, just 66fb299322 smiled like a f0568619d5 parent invited to d38b05fe8b a school performance, 4ac6a37569 with a strange 1d868dd47d expression. Smiling? Is kidnapping 8c3b6fd113 a joke?98e438406513ff06

“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?

Theo, casually responding 11453ceb40 as if it 150d933487 were someone else’s 19eb5fa7b8 problem, kept smiling 60baa669b7 like something was cbf8becfcb so amusing to 5e02661c2f him. He even 5629566d9e bent down, 3015b49f27 pressing his 3dc6711b5d hand against 840c3a3769 his eyes 0a398d33c7 as if a21121a70b he couldn’t 36786e8357 control the 74a617532d laughter spilling a9a984bc37 out.

Then, he gently rubbed 468299d5a2 my wrist, quickly furrowing 53f7431388 his brow when he 4d2fd46aa8 noticed the marks left 23ddf8ebef by the cable tie. His emotional shifts a622fc6788 were just as dfee25149a extreme.1ecb4ee215af94e5

What he meant 2b7e91b452 was that he 51a9ecff83 would make sure 743b7db225 I answered the 76b5a8960a phone.

The way he was 7fadbaf397 acting all friendly and 6f7b9fc265 clingy, and even saying d442f753ab I’d answer his calls f6376ef2f5 properly, it was clear ef003d5db5 he still had some 1a4579decf business with me.
