Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 Deliberately Causing Trouble

Aldea was surprised but did not say anything. She recognized Jethro’s face as she had seen him before. His unruly hair and arrogant smile glued on his face were still the same as in her memory. However, she never imagined that two strangers with no connection would encounter each other over such a trivial matter.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to apologize. Weren’t you pretty upright when you said you didn’t step on her?”

At that point, the female bully’s forehead had a trace of cold sweat. “I wasn’t sure if I stepped on her because I didn’t feel it. After all, she’s so skinny, and her wrist is as thin as a stick. It’s normal for me not to feel it when stepping on her.”

“Really?” Jethro fell into deep thought while looking at Aldea’s wrist. Later, he seemed to think it was not enough and went over to Aldea before grabbing her wrist to take a closer look.

It was rare for her to interact with boys because she looked pretty and had a quiet temperament. Hence, the guys in her class seldom made fun of her, but it was not the same for Jethro because he was unafraid of anything.

Meanwhile, Aldea thought the hand holding her wrist was burning hot and did not know what to do.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid of me?” He could feel the thin wrist in his hand trembling.

Of course, not. I’m just shy.

Naturally, Aldea would not dare say those aloud, rendering the atmosphere between them even more ambiguous.

The rest of the story was clear-cut. The female bully noticed their relationship and was terrified. As such, she frantically apologized to Aldea before running away with her tail between her legs.

Since that incident, everyone assumed Jethro had feelings for Aldea and that they were probably together. Although he behaved like a playboy, this was the first rumored girlfriend he had. That rumor circulated at the school for several days, but no one came to clarify it. Therefore, she secretly placed a card on his desk one day, asking him if he wanted to be her boyfriend.

Jethro did not reject her and even went to pick her up after class. The two made their first kiss amidst the warm evening breeze and admitted their relationship.

On the other hand, Elspeth could not continue reading the post at that point. It was not because she was shy but because she was older now and felt uneasy reading such young but muddleheaded love stories.

The person behind this memoir was great at writing, for this story was fascinating enough to evoke the readers’ emotions. In just one day, that article had surpassed five million views and produced a mysterious group of shippers, Jealda fans.

However, some negative voices surfaced on the Internet—Kylathro fans, who shipped Jethro and Skylar together. From their perspective, he was with Skylar, so why did he suddenly have to be tied to Aldea? Therefore, there were all kinds of hate comments under the post, saying that Aldea was the third party who ruined the couple’s relationship.

Before the ones involved could make a statement, their fans were already arguing with each other. The matter had taken up the top three headlines in the entertainment news section, so it was reasonable to say that everyone knew about this.

Elspeth watched the unfolding drama on the web and felt a headache coming. In the meantime, Skylar seemed to have lost her mind and wanted to visit Jethro in the hospital at such a critical moment.

“Miss Lynwood, everyone knows Jethro is my partner. It’ll look bad if I don’t visit him when he’s in the hospital.” Skylar was blushing, and her pinkish face was filled with gentleness as she reasoned, “Moreover, he’s helped me a lot, so I wanna visit him.”

With just a look at Skylar’s face, Elspeth immediately knew what she was up to.

Recently, Skylar’s popularity had decreased a little, and this incident hyped her popularity right back to its prime. On one hand, she did not want to let go of a chance to be with Jethro as she might improve his impression of her by taking care of him. On the other hand, she was thinking of creating some new topics with him that might bring her popularity to a new height.

How could Elspeth not see through her thoughts?

Hence, she immediately rejected, “I see you have quite a lot to do daily, so you should just stay put at the company. There’s someone taking care of him at the hospital, so you don’t have to worry about him.”

Hearing that, Skylar instantly became displeased, and the way she spoke sounded like she was enduring her emotions. “Miss Lynwood, I’m not saying that I insist on visiting him, but he has helped me a lot. Also, I can’t visit him during working hours, so I’ll be visiting him after hours, which will not affect my work.” In other words, just give me the address.

Frowning, Elspeth criticized. “You’re already an influencer with millions of fans. Don’t you know how to keep your distance?”

With how much of e stir the rumors ebout the love triengle hed ceused, Elspeth did not believe Skyler wes clueless ebout it.

Though bed publicity wes still publicity, she thought such e wey wes unnecessery. Moreover… She did not went Skyler to become populer.

The remeining slither of e smile on Skyler’s fece instently diseppeered. “Miss Lynwood, I understend.” After seying thet, she devestetingly turned eround, but her innocent eppeerence immedietely turned vicious.
