Chapter 198 - Party at Hill villa (7) (1/2)

Sarah thought that this is something she can work with and get Ed to lower his guard to start talking. ”Why would you cause trouble?”

”I can be... dangerous.” He wanted to be mysterious.

Sarah laughed like she heard the funniest joke. ”You don't seem dangerous... I still remember you as a boy with freckles and large square shaped eyeglasses who stared at me, not able to talk.”

”I changed.” Ed was visibly offended by her words.

”Really? Besides being able to talk to me... How did you change?” Sarah was provoking him.

”I can do things... and I know things...” Ed was vague.

Sarah looked at him condescendingly and tilted her head slightly. ”That is very generic. What can you do?”

He flashed a confident smile. ”I can show you what a real man can do for you. Things you never experienced before.”

She chuckled. ”Oh? And what if I have already met many men, and did many things?”

”You didn't.” He shook his head.

”You seem confident.” She laughed. ”But that confidence does not seem to hold any weight.”

Ed narrowed his eyes and said in a stern voice. ”I know that until you met the pretty boy you never dated.”

”Still... only guesses from your side.” Sarah shook her head indicating that she does not believe him. She hoped that her rising anxiousness is not showing on her face.

Ed's words came without a thought. ”In class you always used to sit by yourself and spent evenings in your room playing games. Who would do that if they are dating someone?”

Sarah was startled to hear those words from him, but besides her fists clenching for a moment, there was no other visible reaction. She continued taunting him. ”Really? That is a very specific guess.”

”It's not a guess, and you know it.” He said through his teeth.

At that time JoAnna approached them. ”Is everything all right?” She suspiciously looked at Ed.

”Yes, we are just talking, why such an attitude?” Ed responded, obviously irritated by JoAnna's presence.

Sarah wanted to find out more from Ed, at the same time she was happy that JoAnna showed up and interrupted this chat. He said things that made her uncomfortable. Also, Sarah was curious about Sophia's condition, so she excused herself. ”Nice talking to you. We should catch up some other time again.”

”Soon?” Ed was surprised that Sarah left the opportunity for them to meet again.

”Sure.” Sarah stood up and pulled JoAnna to the side. ”How is Sophia?”
