My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Monitor Him
“What are you saying, Xander? Have you forgotten that in this school, the teachers are not allowed to raise their hands on us, talk more kicking us out of the class? Do you know how much I paid for these classes? They’re so expensive,” the girl called Arabella replied, flipping her hair to one side as she rolled her eyes. “Any teacher that dares to do that will kiss the back of my shoes,” she unknowingly threatened, earning a chuckle from Xander.

Xander knew all that, but he only wanted to find a way to exchange words with her even if it meant embarrassing himself a little.

A smile graced Xavier’s lips, realizing the only time Xander seemed normal was when he was talking to Arabella.

Arabella was a petite girl with platinum hair that was so light it seemed white if looked at from afar. She was so beautiful, gifted with the perfect facial harmony that turned heads whenever she passed.

Although she came from a middle-class family, she didn’t look like one which shocked everyone when she revealed she applied for a scholarship in their school several times but was rejected since they didn’t want a poor girl coming to such an elite school.

Arabella’s parents ended up surprising her with a two-year savings they budgeted for her in case such a situation arose. And finally, she was able to study in their school.

“Even if they try to, they’re going to hear from me,” Xander joked.

Arabella smiled at him before she settled on her seat that was close to his.

As if on cue, the teacher arrived not long after and the classes began.

Xavier noticed Xander’s gaze on Arabella throughout the class and the latter didn’t bother to scribble anything in his book. Xavier tapped Xander on the shoulder to remind him to pay attention in class, but his words flew into Xander’s ears and out from the other.

The teacher didn’t bother with Xander. This wasn’t the first time he’d not paid attention in class. He couldn’t kick him out so he just let him be. He also couldn’t afford to lose his job so he let him be.

A few hours later,

The classes were over and the teacher released them to do other things.

“Bella,” Xander called when he saw her stepping out of the class. “I’m having a party at the usual club. If you’re free, you can come along…” He trailed off, anxiously waiting for her answer.

Arabella sighed. “Xander, you’ve invited me several times and what has been my answer whenever you do?” She asked back and he kept mute. “Those places are too loud and you’re not even of age to go to such parties,” She reminded.

“Age is just a number,” he blurted out. “And if you have a problem with the noise, I can have the DJs reduce the volume to your satisfaction.”

Arabella chuckled, her bunny teeth showing in display. “You’re something, Xander. But sorry to disappoint, I don’t only have a problem with the noise. Your friends…” she said, her eyes on Mack and Paul who stared back at her with raised eyebrows. “They’re something else.”

“What did you just say?” Paul questioned but quickly silenced himself from spewing out the rest of his words when the corners of his eyes caught Xander’s glare.

Arabella sighed one more time. “Thanks, Xander. But I can’t come.”

She gave him a quick smile before she gave them her back as she headed for her next class.

“Look at what you’ve caused,” said Mack, smacking Paul on the nape. “You could have just kept quiet while Xander tried to convince her to come.”

Xander ignored his friends and walked away.

“You shouldn’t sulk yet,” Xavier teased as he followed behind Xander.

“Just leave me alone.”

Xavier ignored that request and continued.

“Valentine’s day is coming soon. Maybe you should ask her out since you have a crush on her.”

“Who said I have a crush on her?” Xander questioned instantly, his cheeks warming up in the process.

“Don’t even bother to hide it. I’ve seen everything and there’s nothing for you to hide anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it obvious? You have a crush on Arabella. Earlier in class, you kept staring at her and the teacher even called you a couple of times to focus before he gave up. And before you accuse me of hallucinating, this isn’t the first time it’s happening. I’ve caught you several times. I can’t count how many times you’ve stared at her like someone in love.”

Xander scoffed as if he’d just heard a lame joke. “If you’re not hallucinating then you’re most definitely overthinking the situation brother. Because there is no way I’m in love with Arabella. That’s the highest level of absurdity, brother,” Xander immediately defended himself.

“You do know it’s alright if you have a crush on her?” Xavier asked, passing a few of the students who called them out. “You’re of the age to have crushes and stuff—”

“Oh please! Can you just stop? I don’t have a crush on her and that’s final. You’re just overthinking things.”

Xavier shrugged, giving up. “Alright then. However, I heard she was going out with a senior. I don’t know how true that is, but I’m just saying. Maybe…”

When he saw he’d finally caught the latter’s interest, he walked past Xander when he stopped to hear him say the rest of his words.

“Wait! Where are you going? Finish what you were about to say. Come on, don’t leave me hanging,” said Xander as he chased after Xavier who’d started quickening his steps.

Unbeknownst to the brothers, someone had been watching them since they arrived at the school.

The unknown person pulled out their phone and made a phone call.

“You were right, sir. He looks like he’s capable of such a job.” The stranger said to the mysterious person on the other side of the call.

“That’s great. Keep watching him and his brother.”
