Chapter 275 - Courting Death! (2/2)

Darren could only sigh as he patted Dylan's head and began, ”She doesn't despise you.” Dylan looked up at Darren expectantly and the later went on, ”Believe me, she likes you more like this. Because this is the real you. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself.”

Since Darren said those words, Dylan would obviously believe it. For two reasons; one that Darren was his best friend and two because there was no one who could claim to know Chen Xiu better than Darren. These two reasons brought comfort to Dylan's heart that had been going through a turmoil since the moment he accepted Xiu's truth.

”I know for sure that Sweets doesn't despise you but yes, she sometimes gets irritated by you,” disclosed Darren. ”I don't know what specialty you have but somehow you manage to touch her bottom line every single time. It's not every day that she'd lose her temper but with you...” He stroked his jaw thoughtfully as he continued, ”With you, it's like her inner wild cat wakes up to b_a_r_e her teeth and claws at you.”

Dylan really wanted to cry again as he heard that. This was really not how he wanted his relationship with a person who held so much respect and admiration in his heart!

”But I don't even do anything...”

Darren showed a hint of sympathy as he crouched down to come at the same level as the kneeling Dylan and spoke, ”You don't have to do anything. From your interactions, I have come to a conclusion.”

”What?” questioned Dylan.

”The reason why you both always end up shedding the pretense of cordiality is that you both have the same temperament. In one way or another, you both are really similar. You both can't hide your real emotions very well.”

Dylan nodded his head in agreement. It was true. He hated the pretense in his life. Hiding his emotions was the most difficult job for him. Either it was his love or disgust, it could be seen right from his eyes. The same went for Xiu, for instance, the way she looked at Darren and the way she looked at Dylan showed the disparity of their status in her heart or life.

Dylan finally got up from his kneeling position to stand straight as he announced with conviction, ”The past is in the past. The past was my ignorance but now... I'll make sure that my goddess sees me in a different light.”

Although Darren didn't know why it was so important for Dylan. But he knew that Dylan was desperate to change his image before Xiu.

”I wish you good luck for that,” said Darren with a small but sincere smile.

Dylan hugged his best friend and said, ”Thank you. I knew I can only count on you. But please, help me in convincing my goddess that I'm not as bad as she thinks.”

While Darren patted his back and was about to say something, a languid voice filled with hostility and anger stunned both of them.

”I don't care whether you're good or bad but right now, you're certainly courting death!”
