Still young, Lennock might 3d496412d6 have been upset by 5e4b9bd773 Gray’s words. But what Gray said 1d65e28234 wasn’t wrong, and Lennock 888c64b81b was in a more fdf6f26c83 ambiguous position compared to 5bc0e010a4 Aubrey. Aubrey, his nape throbbing, 2757fdaf74 bit his lower lip.e669c830259c655f

Aubrey was trying 52459dcea6 his best not 083f250cea to move his 89d42427fe head while figuring 3d604066fb out how to 097adb6a17 shake off Gray’s 428c760e4c damned grip. Startled by the unexpected f37a861d93 reply, he looked at b7a84931e5 Lennock.6e2092c1f116cfcd

As Gray’s grip 3556960481 on his hair e2b1974ca5 tightened, Aubrey let 31bd268911 out a groan. His fingers 764c85a9ad seemed to 4d0b539e2e loosen just 55b27e032a a bit, 5f404bd70b but it 73b4283a02 still hurt.bdb6ff3e58f6959d

In a afd94963c4 flash, Gray’s 02fcafb86f eyes glinted 53523ca48a and his 14f14b0557 lips twitched. Though he hadn’t 61d192a96a spoken loudly, it 41a246d7a1 felt like Gray’s 6c4a736d2e voice was audible.44b06f813482e775

Just as the situation fb9e08eec0 was about to worsen, 6469ded4e9 a gasp was heard. Turning around, 13a3ffa691 they saw 814678c5cb a servant 8bc023228d standing at d302bc5a1e the open be15a13e88 door, who d85b8919c0 had apparently 1022fbc87e witnessed everything.

Aubrey had told Amon b918984168 to go ahead first, 1163b60555 and it seemed he d7feabaa5b had sent up the a7f35b6b53 servant after not coming f6c430a1c2 down right away, only 8466f09477 for the servant to 9ebfe79239 witness this ridiculous scene. Though the timing could 02cc19fb77 be seen as poor, e1a6bad948 Aubrey was frustrated at 0f0d6125da being caught in such 6d8ecf02b9 a disgraceful state by 0837ef8f03 the servant. He grabbed Gray’s wrist 1f818a9f43 and pushed him away.4971e764f6ec9c97

Gray, unwilling to let 9b63235f2d go, pulled out quite 70ae64ffb5 a bit of Aubrey’s d2f6f0ab6d hair. Aubrey ground dc4de88b60 his teeth a55f8e3dce as he 7b54ad7d44 saw hair a4ba7b8c08 fall before a5e32b48da his eyes 0206db02ac and got d642622cd3 off the caa5c9a139 bed.34a18c2d78d5eacc

With the servant watching, 97b65bccb0 Gray didn’t dare act bd27e92eb3 out any further. But regardless, Aubrey 29fdc03c2a was deeply unsettled, 20dc2a4035 wondering why he 7ac131e6a6 had to endure 38d5b3f2a9 this, as his 202c330014 nape throbbed and 6c8660ac6c the pain worsened.af209549041948fc

Worried about the 3b570b400f current pain in 950292ce89 his neck, Aubrey c9ab7ea9e2 comforted himself with fc2d4eb18d thoughts that it 0fdee13933 was nothing serious ee54633c1f as he left 1eb1afb966 the mansion.

Quickly climbing c2bc1e10e0 into the 3524e02aca carriage and 4d09058fb3 taking a fd88b04644 seat inside, 270c6f591d Amon leaned e33e41a7c4 out, beckoning. His face b0e2b408ee was all 1befe4bed8 aglow with 6edd388cad the excitement 466215ef85 of heading aa7425b1cb out.3fdda89a2a8fba73

Though Aubrey appreciated Amon’s cfd8088ad3 help in getting out d4b6a0e658 of the attic, he f7fe1b851b was irked by his b592088a1b obliviousness.

Before he b182fa38dc could finish, f2a8d84306 Lennock walked 80b45a7da7 past him 48646bac59 and naturally ad6c950052 took a cf8a74b9e5 seat next a3571066ad to Amon, 70afab653b then looked 5640582855 back at 3e614b54f9 Aubrey.

But that aa8d6ea611 changed after ec1f39a81a being whipped 4dccbd5168 by his 97b6ce402a father. His father 6bc054a3b7 wouldn’t stand db5e3c9bc4 by and b7eae46eda watch him 3f6a2e4693 act against 5e5fdcefb6 his wishes 9a7210ddfc anymore. He’d beat c53b8ed3d1 him into 525368f954 submission, and 13616790f8 if that 1c2b55a151 didn’t work, 3ddece5e26 the outcome 2df5a209bf was obvious. He’d probably end 12b955d47d up stuck in 719da57947 some battery farm-like 303d0de762 place. Surveillance would make 7a36a5ceab escape difficult then.

Aubrey mulled c470cbab2c over the 2380aece5a investments he 5b650af3b4 had consistently 7c233b25a6 made and 024bc3e00c the benefits 470c7da35a they had aed65cb9c4 yielded. He had cdf12df3b7 more than 84c5629e8a enough to 9f92ca9a31 live on 190594b92c his own. Good, that 2411a86985 money would a85429900b make things 2e1466cc98 workable, he c5464b61d7 thought, his 72a6eeaa52 eyes lighting c998a8b406 up.778a911f30e6ed39

Aubrey hadn’t cdfa24d81b noticed that 6412f6b14c Lennock had 183d2ac0f9 been watching d2f8cf102b him closely 6fdb2fa605 all this 4a0d6b523c time.2602ba53351cddf8

Receiving a f745743ec8 summon from 1173064d31 the marquis, 501f7d0fb8 Aubrey and 53129fc982 Lennock were 6fd980f9d2 undoubtedly in 7c19aa2f81 for a aa0c789461 severe scolding. So, thinking it cc09fcb445 might cheer up a029125c72 his friend on f07b0cc1cc such a disheartening 4a1ce7fb7d day, Amon decided b1efa0fba9 to make a 963e293a56 day visit. That’s why he moved 41bef9e7cb them to the busiest 8e46a7a803 street in Toroso.ee02091ccc49490c

Once there, fecfaf4b95 Aubrey suddenly b9fbd2c336 stopped the bcd2cde534 carriage and 2e25e953b9 hopped down dee53aedbf by himself.b7ab191214b31c4b

The sight of him b3c23f698d clutching the back of f26e18e68e his neck as he 5d094d53a2 dashed away was both 5fc9408c82 amusing and worrisome.4675c36634812093

“Having a edea75c68e crick in 956ea96718 the neck b617ab7bb4 can be ed53629342 really tough. I’ve had 09065c3c5e it during faf34b7288 exams, I 3e4e438e95 know how e908c0f8aa bad it 7babfecb63 is. You wake up and ec02ea02e0 involuntarily cry for help. But to acf796eda3 run off e57aebcb8a in that f6509c4a6f state… What e7105295a5 on earth 854e803831 could it ff2dc8cf06 be?0c593ec0cac022b6
