Chapter 278 - Stupid mofo (1/2)

For a moment, Seraphina was left speechless by his response. She didn't expect those words from him which made her feel a little conflicted. Glancing at the hand she slapped, Seraphina heedlessly reached out to hold it; before she even realized her action, she was already holding his hand.

”Uh,”

”It's fine.” Letting her hold his hand, Liam gently nodded in understanding. Alas, Seraphina shook her head then slowly loosened her grip before completely letting it go.

”Sorry, I was a little tired.” awkwardly massaging her nape, Seraphina leaned her back against the sofa. Sighing lightly, Seraphina didn't answer Liam's question as she diverted her attention to mundane stuff.

”My phone?”

Without a word, Liam thrust his chin towards the small table at the center of the sofas where her phone lay. Following his direction, Seraphina spotted her phone and sprawled her hand to reach it. However, Seraphina unintentionally pressed the home button which made her phone lit up.

Seeing her phone's wallpaper where Wren's selfie was displayed, Seraphina's face distorted to a new level. It was not hard to guess how he had done it as X was just one call away which probably gave him permission to access her phone. Of course, Liam already saw it, yet he didn't say or conclude anything -- even though, inside him, ripples of unknown emotions started to bubble.

”Stupid mofo,” Seraphina dissed, filled with disgust at Wren's obssession with unveiling Liam's nature. Regardless, she couldn't blame him as Wren's intuition was always accurate at the end of the day. Hence, Seraphina didn't want to think about it as she knew sooner or later, she'd have her answers.

”Huh,” Liam scoffed almost imperceptibly. Alas, Seraphina had surpassed the normal human level as her senses automatically caught almost everything.

”Hmm?” Turning her eyes back to Liam, Seraphina didn't catch the glint that flashed across his eyes as he was back to his gentle demeanor. ”You didn't have to see that,” Seraphina added as she smiled meekly.

”About what I said the other day -- I didn't mean it. I was just tired and you know, too much stuff was going on.”

Liam smiled a little after hearing her and was about to pat her head. Alas, before he could even lift his hand, Liam retracted it, recalling her s_e_n_s_i_t_i_v_e reaction earlier. Nodding lightly in understanding, Liam didn't pry or say a word as usual.

”Aiya,” Seraphina sighed in defeat. Surely, she couldn't defeat Liam with simple evidence and mundane jealousy as she had underestimated Liam's intense feelings for her. For some reason, Seraphina decided to reposition herself and rested her head on Liam's lap.

For a brief moment, Liam froze from Seraphina's action before looking down on her blemish-free face while her eyes were closed, resting. In an instant, Liam's unstable emotions stabilized seeing Seraphina going back to her usual self.
