Chapter 359 - Why Aiden?
"W-What are you doing?!" Evelynn said, reacting strongly to what Aiden had just done.
Multiple scenarios popped up in her mind as she couldn't help but have many thoughts about what would be happening next.
"Can we leave, I need to tell you something…" Aiden said to Evelynn looking at her directly in her eyes.
For some reason, as Evelynn looked back into Aiden's gaze, she felt something withing her. It was like she knew that there was no reason to be scared of the man in front of her. She was convinced that he was here to help her, and she had guessed that from a simple gaze.
Anyone who had access to her thoughts would think that she was truly crazy, there was no doubt about that part.
'Why does his gaze look so much like one Aiden usually gave me?' She thought as she couldn't help but see many similarities. 'Maybe that's why I feel like I can trust this man.'
"Where do you want to go?" She asked as tried to wipe the tears off her face.
Aiden hadn't thought of where he wanted to go exactly, he just wanted to talk to her alone.
"Can we go to your dorm? I just want to talk to you alone, is that alright?" Aiden asked as he didn't want her to feel scared at all. He wanted her to feel secure and reassured over everything that Aiden was currently doing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Evelynn seemed to be thinking a little if it was a good idea and after a few seconds, she finally budged agreeing to his proposition.
She had to admit that she was extremely curious about what Alek would be telling her, she had never met him in her entire life, so she was interested in seeing why he was insisting so much to talk to her.
"Sure, we can go to my dorm though I don't know if my roommate will be there. Well, whatever, let's just go see if he is and we'll figure it out from there," she said without any hesitation.
For some reason, all the sadness that she had felt a couple of moments ago was getting replaced by a little joy as she seemed to gain confidence in herself.
'Who cares about what that stupid director said… there's no way that Aiden would have done such a thing, he's a good guy,' Evelynn thought as she was currently leading Alek, or rather, Aiden to her dorm room.
The reason why she had gotten such a strong reaction from the conversation with the director was plain simple. She was told some things that she strongly believed were untrue.
However, the fact that they were said by the director of the academy added some credit to his accusations.
Still, Evelynn believed in Aiden, he remembered what he had told her and she trusted him with all of her heart.
'There's just no way that he killed that girl, I know he didn't… there's no way that's possible. He's the one who saved me, after all.'
Evelynn knew how much of a nice guy Aiden could be and she was convinced that he wouldn't kill a girl for no reason whatsoever. He wasn't the type to be doing such a thing.
While Evelynn was having all those thoughts, Aiden was currently thinking about the situation and the fact that he had killed someone in quite some time.
He had to admit that it felt great doing so after such a long time. He had killed a few monsters recently, but the adrenaline he felt when killing real people wouldn't disappear anytime soon and he knew that it could considered somewhat of a bad thing.
'Wait, I did kill someone, right?' Aiden thought as he realized something.
His gloves, the ones that would get stronger as he killed people did something happen to them?
Aiden wanted to check if there was something that changed, however, he couldn't because he knew that showing that equipment to Evelynn would reveal his real identity. Even if he might be planning on revealing the fact that he wasn't this Alek, but the real Aiden the one who had supposedly disappeared.
'Though I have to admit, I can't wait to see the power that they awakened. It must be a great one, no doubt…' Aiden thought as he remembered when he had received them.
"We're here!" Evelynn exclaimed as she opened the door of her room.
It seemed like there was no sadness contained in her voice, as if all of her worries had completely disappeared for no reason.
Aiden didn't comment on it, but he still found it extremely weird all things considered.
The two of them entered shortly after the dorm room without much problem. They sat down facing one another and Evelynn was now waiting patiently for Aiden, or rather, Alek to tell her what he wanted to say.
"So?" Evelynn asked as Aiden was still completely silent, probably thinking about some things that have no correlation at all.
"Right, sorry," Aiden muttered as his mind was currently using its full power.
Aiden was currently having a debate on whether he should reveal his true appearance or not.
The one thing, he needed to know was what she thought about Aiden now that she had a discussion with the director who had probably told her some things about him.
"Actually before I tell you, can you tell me a little about your opinion regarding Aiden Nightshade?"
'Wow, it really feels weird talking about me from a third point of view…'
Evelynn frowned when she heard that as it was the second time that she had been asked such a question which was honestly quite weird all things considered.
"That question, again? Seriously… why does everyone care about my opinion about him? Is it because I told everyone that I was almost his girlfriend or something?"
Evelynn was getting tired of hearing about Aiden over and over again as she had no idea where he even was. Sure, she cared about him but what would it change if she were to tell everyone that.
