Chapter 266: Neither today and maybe never tomorrow.

“That basta*d!

How dare he?” Gianna snapped, already rolling her sleeves.

Her intentions were clear in her fiery eyes.  But that wasn’t what Arwen cared about at the moment.

She had expected this reaction from Gianna -knew it was inevitable, in fact.

What she hadn’t prepared for was the stunned and judgemental gazes of the people around them.

Gianna’s sudden and obnoxiously loud choice of words had drawn the attention of nearly everyone in the vicinity.  Arwen’s cheeks burned when she met a few curious gazes.

Though it was brightness was dimmed around she could still see a few eyes very clearly.

Especially the nearest ones.

She pressed a slightly apologetic smile to her lips and leaned closer to Gianna, muttering under her breath, “Anna, we are sitting in the middle of the crowd.

Can you not let your anger make us the subject of everyone’s gossip?”  Gianna turned to look at her, her brows knitting in a deep frown.

For a moment, Arwen thought she might lash out even louder.

Instead, Gianna muttered as if she hadn’t heard anything that Arwen had said just now.

“Wait for me.

I will go now and teach him what a proper apology looks like.

Did he really think he could act rowdy and call it an explanation or apology?”  With that, she almost stood up to walk out, but right on time Arwen grabbed her arm and cooed her softly.

“You don’t have to, Anna.

I have already taught him the lesson.” Arwen didn’t even get time to react to Gianna’s selective hearing syndrome but she didn’t mind.

Over the years, she had somewhat gotten used to it already.  Gianna raised an unimpressed brow.

“Do you think he is the type of student who learns after one simple lesson?” she countered.

“He won’t, Wenna.

So, it will be better to give him the lesson in the right way -in a way he would never be able to forget.”  Arwen sighed, understanding her friend’s biasness too well.

Gianna had never favored Ryan, not even for a fraction of a second.

Not because she hated him and he was his arch-enemy.

But rather because she never liked him enough to accept his attitude.

And his actions today added more to her dislike.

There was no way she would let him off lightly if given a choice.  In the moment, Arwen was lost in her thoughts, Gianna’s thoughts shifted to something else that made her expression shift slightly and more seriously.

Grabbing Arwen’s hands in hers, she asked, “Wenna, don’t tell me you are going to get soft on him again now that he has said that he never loved Delyth.” Arwen was taken aback for a moment.

She hadn’t thought about it even for a second, strangely -neither when Ryan explained his entanglement with Delyth, nor when he tried to suggest that she had misunderstood them.  “Wenna, you can’t -”  “Of course not, Anna”  Before Gianna could warn her, Arwen wiped off the possibility of it.

Her eyes stared into hers as she spoke, slowly but confidently.

“No matter what relationship Ryan has with Delyth, or even if he has one with her or not, he is no longer an option to me, Anna.

he is not and he will never be, because I have made my choice already.

And I don’t have any plans of getting back on it -neither today and maybe never tomorrow.”  Her words couldn’t have been more firm than it already was.

But still, Gianna stared into her eyes to confirm it once and Arwen pressed her lips in a thin line.  “Anna, I never loved Ryan to not let him go.

He was an arrangement made by Mrs.

Quinn, one like several others that I never revolted against.

It wasn’t easy for me to break through it, but you know how badly I was dying to do it.

And now that I have finally been able to break free from it, do you think I would have plans to return?”  Gianna nodded.

“Good that you have such a strong resolve.

Otherwise, I almost thought it would be all easy peasy for Ryan.

But seems like by God’s grace your current husband has better charms to keep you hooked.

I am sure it’s partially because of him that you are so resolute against the idea.”  Arwen didn’t say anything to retort her because she couldn’t bring herself to snatch that credit from Aiden.

He truly deserved it.

If not for him, she truly doubts how she would have ended up.

Will she still be able to hold her confidence like this/  Maybe not.

Because he might never have claimed it, but he has been playing an important role in what she was turning into recently.  “See?” Gianna spoke when she didn’t hear her speaking for a good while.

“I told he must been a reason.

If not, you haven’t forfeited from denying it the very next second.”  Arwen turned to look at her with a smile.

“Why do I feel like this taunting way is your way of favoring him?” she asked, raising her brow at her.  In response to which, Gianna quickly looked the other side.

“What do you mean?”  “I mean, you might be saying it in a tone that seems to be inconsiderate, but for every good thing, you are more or less giving him the credit, which means you don’t hate him as you hate Ryan,” Arwen said.  And Gianna quickly shrugged.

“You are thinking too much, Wenna.

“I haven’t even met him once, how can I favor or unfavor him?

And about Ryan, do you think he deserves my favour?

Not even after a thousandth birth,” she scoffed, and Arwen didn’t mind it at all.  Smiling, she didn’t argue.

Rather nodding, she said, “Okay, if that’s what you say, I will believe you.

And anyway, later in the evening today, you are going to meet him.

So, decide then whether you favor him or not.”
