Chapter 665 - Six Hundred And Sixty-five: Compromise (2/2)

”Okay?”Akim said with an expressionless face, ”And?” He was anticipating more news from his mother.

”And?” Emily was surprised by his question. What more did he want to hear?

”Is that all?” He'd be damned if that was the case.

”Is there more?” there was confusion on Emily's face.

”Oh God,” Akim groaned, wiping his face with his palm before he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

”Akim?” Emily was not pleased with his reaction. She had expected him to be happy that they took a step forward in giving him the freedom he desired. Instead, he was… disappointed?

Unfortunately, Emily didn't know that her son had seen and tasted the outside world, hence her little compromise was of little appeal to him.

”So you got all my hopes high for this?” He was annoyed.

”Akim…”

”Mom, what's the difference when the guards are with me in the class and when they're right outside the class?” he questioned her sternly.

”Akim, this is progress on our part. Do you even know how I managed to convince your father to take this step?” She asked him.

”Then it's all for nothing because I don't need it. It's kind of stupid anyway!” He retorted, and although he regretted saying those words to his mother, he was too angry to show it.

”Akim, everything we are doing is for your safety and the progress of this family,” Emily tried to explain to him. Why can't he understand it was their role as his parents to protect him? Why can't he be a little understanding?! Ugh, he was as stubborn as his father! So irritating!

”Your idea of safety is suffocating me, mother, and in case you don't know this, I don't owe you my freedom, it's my right! Perhaps, it's time you guys knew that” Akim stated and took his leave without looking back while Emily stood at the spot, rubbing her temple, clearly overwhelmed and stressed up.

Akim stepped into the car and the chauffeur took off without a second thought. One of the bodyguards sat in the front seat with the chauffeur while another Suv drove behind him, that was another team of bodyguards who made sure his safety was assured.

The school was the same as usual, the only exception being that the guards didn't follow him into the class. He snorted, what difference did it make when they could still see him through the glass window. He felt their

Even with the absence of his bodyguards, no one dared to sit beside him and Max seemed to be running late. Yeah, he was all alone.

At that moment, the teacher came inside the class and everyone composed themselves. Akim didn't care and was about to go back to his phone when out of the corner of his eyes, he saw another figure walking in as well.

His eyes shot up and as soon as their eyes met, his jaw dropped.. No way.
