The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Your time is up Chapter 158: Your time is up Micheal dropped his gaze from the sky after Alice had departed and gazed at the two who were left with him.

He could feel their desires seeping out of their eyes.

It was very obvious that each held a fancy for Alice but we’re too chicken to do anything about it.

Well, it was their loss.

He wasn’t scared to take a step and wasn’t scared of being rejected either.

So he would have her firsts right under their noses.

“Aren’t you going to leave?” He asked, and Mark turned to him.

“She said you two would assist.” Mark’s eyes furrowed.

He could not still bring himself to wipe that memory from his head.

What he saw…

This man holding Alice and kissing her like they were lovers…

It still made his heart burn and his blood boil.

“You…

What motives do you have for approaching Alice?” He asked.

“I have no hidden motives.” Micheal said.

“She was interesting and quite fascinating from the start.

And I like fascinating things.

So I told her to her face.

If she hated the idea, hated my motive, she would’ve kept me away but she didn’t.” His lips slowly curled up.

“And she…” Micheal disappeared from their line of sight and appeared behind Mark.

“Even allowed me to kiss her.” Mark shoved his elbow back, planning to hit Micheal in the face but Micheal was faster and appeared in front of him.

“So, you see.

She trusts me.” “You…” “Mark,” Devon called, interrupting Mark from taking any more action.

“…

You won’t be able to beat him.” Mark immediately got angry at the sound of that.

His fists trembled even more and he gritted his teeth.

“What?

Does that tempt you to challenge me more?” Micheal asked, clearly taunting while standing only a few feet away.

“Come on, I’m ready to dance all night.” But Mark let it go.

He released his fist, let out a deep sigh, and raised his head to look Micheal in the eyes and declare, “It’s not worth it.” He said.

“And…

It’s just one kiss.

This doesn’t make you two a couple since Alice doesn’t care about feelings, love, and whatnot.

So, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Micheal went silent and watched Mark turn to leave.

Devon also turned to leave, his coat flapping behind him.

Michael watched.

The corners of his lips curled up.

If they could see his face, they would see the kind of maniacal smile he had on.

“That’s true, that’s true.” He said.

“But…” His eyes glinted dangerously.

“Why do I feel so pissed?

Keke, maybe I should go a little further.

I do love to be on top of things.

Keke.” He started laughing.

He laughed so long and suddenly stopped like he was being controlled by a switch.

He looked towards Florida’s body and closed his eyes to think.

“Alright, it’s decided.” He stretched his hands towards her, ready to use his skills.

“Your time is up.” Devon watched Mark’s back as he walked away in long strides.

He had such broad shoulders and a nice posture, even when he was angry-walking.

“I noticed it before.” Devon suddenly said but Mark did not stop walking.

Whatever he had to say, he could say it for himself.

“But you care very much about Alice.” Still, Mark stayed silent, minding his business.

“Too much, in fact.” He muttered.

He sensed it before.

If Mark were to say he was treating Alice so well because he was his warden, he was in charge of taking care of her as a guardian, or maybe that he was treating her like the younger sister he never had…

An outsider would believe right away because Mark was a different person around Alice.

He had…

Behaviors.

But…

For Devon who had observed.

He observed, and observed, and observed…

Every freaking time Alice gets in trouble or Alice interacts with another guy…

Every damn time, Mark was more than obvious about how he felt.

And how he actually saw Alice.

And furthermore…

He, Devon, was starting to understand Mark’s actions even more ever since he understood his own feelings.

It all started to make sense.

Mark was…

Devon appeared in front of Mark with his teleportation ability and glared at him.

Not a typical glare but a studious one.

He observed Mark’s expression and then asked, “Do you have feelings for your ward?” “What?” Mark asked, his lips twitching up in disbelief.

How could he just pop up in front of him and ask such a question?

“What sort of bullshit are you asking me?” “Jealousy.” Devon said, his tone calm and demure.

“You have that a lot and anything that sticks around Alice is an eyesore.

You…

You have feelings for her, don’t you?” “Don’t bullshit me with your speculations.” Mark said and shoved his shoulder, trying to move him out of the way.

“But it’s all there.” “All where?” Mark flared at him.

“What do you want me to say?

You want me to admit having feelings for her and that’s why I act the way I act?

I care about her.

I care so much and feel that the world treated her so unfairly that I want to make it up to her, even though the world treated me so unfairly too.

She’s a normal kid.

A nice one.

She needs to live normally and that’s what I’m trying to help her with.

So, if you think my actions so far have been because I was jealous or for some stupid feelings, then think again.” He shoved Devon’s shoulder once more and started storming away.

Devon went silent, watching him, and then lowered his head.

“So, you’ve never once thought of kissing her?” Devon asked and Mark paused.

He stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes.

“Tonight, when she said she could kiss anyone.

When she said she liked you, liked me and Michael, you didn’t have any such thoughts?” Mark stayed silent.

At that time…

Ah, how could he admit that his heart lept for joy that she liked him, only to sink knowing it wasn’t in the way he had expected?

And he didn’t even know what he wanted to expect.

“Your hesitation speaks for you.” Devon said.

“You like her, and maybe you just never knew it till now, but…

You’re extremely possessive.” “And why are you so sure of what you’re saying?” Mark asked, turning around to face Devon.

“Because…” Devon smiled.

“I have a sharp mind.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah He lied It’s obviously because he likes her as well
