Chapter 677 Are You Really in a Romantic Relationship?
Aziel eagerly anticipated the order to go and beat someone up. However, to his surprise, there was no sign of anger in his demeanor. What was going on? Lincoln calmly lowered his head and looked at Zayla in his arms. He asked in response, “Have I ever bullied you?”
Zayla was speechless. She glared at him in anger! Wasn’t he the one bullying her now? And yet he had the audacity to ask such a question?
Why did she ever think he was a gentleman? What kind of gentleman would pin a girl’s hand down, rendering her unable to move?
He narrowed his intense gaze and said, “Haven’t you bullied me every single time?” Zayla was speechless again.
Lincoln! He was just a jerk! Wingfield clenched his fists, coughed a few times, partly to interrupt the current topic and partly to hide his embarrassment and unease.
“Zayla, are you really in a romantic relationship with him?” Wingfield asked her, placing his trust solely in her answer.
Lincoln gazed down at her, his deep eyes exuding an irresistible allure. To avoid getting deeply involved, Zayla bit her lip and struggled to avert her gaze. She shook her head.
Angry, Wingfield asked, “Did you see that? Zayla shook her head! You’re not her boyfriend!” Lincoln ignored Wingfield and kept looking at Zayla. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he softly replied.
“… I’m not?”
Zayla felt a pang in her heart, an indescribable heartache that silently tore it apart, if only for a moment. She neither nodded nor shook her head, but her silence already signified acceptance.
At that moment, Lincoln released her hands and let go of the embrace around her slender waist…
She stood steadily on the soft sand, looking up to see his dejection and desolation In the distance, the lighthouse’s light broke through the darkness and approached.
But it couldn’t illuminate his darkness at this moment or dispel the gloom that hung in the air… Wingfield took two steps forward, quickly pulling Zayla aside. “Are you okay?” he asked in an angry tone. Zayla shook her head. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“I’m calling the police now!” Zayla pressed down his phone and gestured, “He’s my ex-boyfriend, I’m not injured either, so let it go this time.” “I see.” Wingfield put away his phone.
“I’ll take you back.
Zayla didn’t say a word, just followed Wingfield’s footsteps as they left. There was a gaze fixed on her until she walked out of the beach area and turned the corner of the alley.
Aziel rushed forward in a hurry. “Sir, aren’t you going after them?” He shook his head. Aziel was shocked. “Sir, are you giving up just like that? The sign language teacher clearly likes Ms. Vargas!”
“Give up?
“Not in a million lifetimes.” With that, Lincoln took his leave. Relieved, Aziel finally let go of his worry and followed him cheerfully.
Find me a sign language teacher,’ Lincoln coldly instructed.
Aziel asked in confusion, “Sir, are you going to teach sign language at the School for Deaf-mutes too?” Lincoln glanced at him and asked in return, “Could you understand their conversation just now?”
Recalling the rapid gestures Zayla made, Aziel couldn’t even see them clearly, let alone understand them…
He shook his head vigorously. “I’ll go find one right away!” “Find a male teacher,” Lincoln advised. Aziel was puzzled. “Huh? Sir, do we have to set gender requirements either?”
