The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: How many bullets were in Angel’s gun?
“The finals are at three in the afternoon.”

“Yeah, so I’ll head over after lunch,” Sam replied during a morning conversation with his sister Ava before heading out.

Ava seemed utterly relaxed as she ate her breakfast, showing no signs of the impending high-stakes competition.

“Do you want me to take the day off and go with you?” Sam offered.

Although it seemed challenging to get time off from his position at the school where Alice teaches, he was willing to make sacrifices for his sister.

Ava initially wanted to accept his offer. After all, having her brother accompany her seemed much better than going alone, and she cherished the time spent alone with him.

But then she thought about it. If she brought her handsome brother along, her less worldly female classmates might go crazy.

Why did her brother have to be so good-looking that she couldn’t even show him off without causing a stir? His naturally charming face was almost a ‘curse.’

So, after some consideration, Ava shook her head. “No need, just come over for the competition if you want to watch…”

“I’ll be there with Angel,” Sam added, blinking.

Ava immediately frowned. “What is she doing there!”

Just then, Angel walked out with her bag, wrapped in a long black coat, and looked towards Ava. “What’s the problem? Competitions are meant to be watched, right? Since there’s a competition and seats available, why shouldn’t I go?”

Ava huffed. “You just want to see me make a fool of myself, you’d be happy to see me embarrass myself.”

Angel didn’t deny it. Whatever mud was thrown at her, she never bothered to clean it off. She enjoyed making others’ fears come true.

So, she smirked and said, “Exactly, so be careful. I’ll be recording the whole thing. If you mess up, I’ll have someone edit an hour-long loop of it and put it online.”

“You…!!” Ava had never encountered such a ‘wicked’ woman.

Although Sam knew Angel wouldn’t go to such extremes, he still couldn’t help but take Ava’s hand to reassure her. “She’s just trying to scare you. Ava, don’t feel pressured. She’s joking. We’ll just come to watch and support you. Just focus on doing your best.”

Angel chuckled lightly. “You better take the competition seriously. I might not be joking.”

Ava snorted and even raised her little fist towards Angel. “Don’t worry, I won’t give you that chance. Just wait to celebrate my victory!”

Sam and Angel then left for school in the car. On the way, Sam couldn’t help but express his concerns. “I wonder if what you said will make her nervous.”

Angel looked at him. “What’s there to worry about? Why don’t you swim for her?”

“I’m a guy, how can I help? Can I participate in a women’s swimming competition?”

“You were actually considering helping… You’re just a imouto-kon.”

“I am not a imouto-kon!” Sam argued vehemently.

Angel looked at Sam disdainfully. “Still denying? You get so worked up over such a small thing. Whenever it involves her, you care more than you do for me. That’s not just a brotherly attitude.”

Sam thought for a moment, then suspiciously asked, “You’re not considering Ava as a rival, are you?”

“Ava, my rival? Are you dreaming!” Angel vehemently denied.

Only Elowen, who was driving the car, kept her eyes straight ahead, increasingly aware that the two behind her were becoming less considerate of her presence. Although she wasn’t too concerned about these matters, could this be what the lady had mentioned about… the way young people talk?

After the first class at school, Sam was asked by a freckled male classmate to deliver some documents to the teacher’s office because the classmate had a date with his girlfriend from the next class.

Sam entered the office with the documents and placed them in front of the familiar woman. Other teachers were also present, so Alice couldn’t be too affectionate.

She added a coat to her outfit, seemed to have specially curled her long hair, which looked flawless and silky. The soft, large waves gave her a particularly mature charm. Especially in her aloof demeanor, when she put on her glasses, she appeared even more sexy and captivating, evoking a dangerously irresistible urge in others.

“Here are the documents.”

“Good.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going…”

“Wait a moment.”

Alice stopped Sam as he was about to leave. He looked around; the other teachers were busy with their own tasks, not paying attention to them.

“What is it, Miss Alice?”

Alice observed his expression. “You seem to like avoiding me. What, did I scare you?”

Sam laughed awkwardly. “Not at all, just didn’t want to disturb your work.”

“How’s your sister’s situation?”

Alice changed the subject.

Sam smiled. “It’s okay. Today’s the finals at three o’clock… so this afternoon…”

“Thinking of taking leave again?”

Seeing Alice’s furrowed brow, Sam had no choice but to nod and explain. “Well… she’s my sister, and today is the most important day of the finals… I…”

“Alright, I understand.”

Alice’s brow was still furrowed, but she unexpectedly gave Sam permission. He blinked in disbelief.

“You… agree?”

“With your reasoning going that far, what else can I do? Besides, it shows you care about your family. Of course, I’d like to meet your sister sometime; I’m afraid you’re lying to me.”

Sam naturally wouldn’t refuse such an offer. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely introduce her to you sometime. Thank you, Miss Alice.”

“That’s all then. Go to class and be careful on the road.”

Seeing Alice’s rare gentle side, Sam felt as if the world was suddenly filled with love.

After lunch, Isabella called Sam to confirm if they were going together in the afternoon.

Sam was a bit troubled; what would Angel think if he brought these two girls along? Wouldn’t she explode like a bomb?

But Isabella’s clever persuasion convinced Sam. It was essentially just one sentence: “Are you just going to let Miss Angel dictate things? People should gamble in relatively stable situations; you’ll see that the bottom line is always being lowered.”

Although her rhetoric was clearly flawed, Sam decided to give it a try. Sometimes, it’s not about how clever your strategies are, but whether they can touch your heart.

Some things can’t be completely static; there’s no saying that moving forward cautiously reduces risks. It’s about continuously taking risks, trying again and again, overcoming one hurdle after another, and then you realize that the things that troubled you have finally changed for the better.

So Sam agreed, but on the condition that Isabella convince Sophie to come along; he wasn’t going to try to persuade that girl himself.

Unexpectedly, within five minutes, Isabella messaged him back: “Sophie agreed~”

Now it was Sam’s turn to be shocked. She agreed? Was Sophie on medication, or did Sophia make the decision for her? Something was very off.

When it was time to leave, Sam left the school, and Elowen had already driven the luxurious car to the school gate, with Angel already waiting inside.

“Get in, what are you waiting for?” Angel asked, puzzled.

“Well, we have to wait a bit.”

“Wait for who…”

As Angel spoke, she seemed to realize something, and a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes. “You’re not waiting for those two women, are you?”

Sam tried to soothe her with a chuckle. “Didn’t I tell you yesterday that they’re coming along…”

“When did you say they were coming together?! Sam, are you playing games with me, what am I to you? A means of transportation?”

“I won’t allow you to talk about yourself like that!”

“Elowen, hand me the gun.”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute!! Listen to me!”

Elowen was in a difficult position; she had promised Celeste not to heedlessly comply with the young lady’s requests, especially not to kill the boy… In short, she had to be careful.

But Elowen also intuitively felt that Angel wouldn’t shoot Sam, although her expression was very convincing, making it hard to refuse.

Angel looked at Sam. “Stop talking so much, you’ve been looking for death since yesterday, right? Fine, I’ll grant your wish. Elowen, hand me the gun, didn’t you hear me!”

“This…”

Just as Elowen was somewhat troubled and Sam was trying desperately to stop the young lady without a better plan…

“Ah, did we come at a bad time, are you guys fighting~”

Turning around.

It was the lovely and beautiful Isabella, standing next to her, still the cold and expressionless Sophie.

The moment Sam saw these two, he began to calculate.

How many bullets were in Angel’s gun?
