Chapter 224 The Promise
Warren's POV:
Sylvia was so angry that she beat me until I was on my knees. "Warren! I thought you were a gentleman! How could you do this?!"
I covered my face helplessly, not daring to fight back or speak a word. After all, it was true. I had slept with Flora. I was guilty.
"Say something, you scumbag! Explain to me right now!" Sylvia was so angry that her face turned purple.
"I have nothing to say. I'm guilty. Hit me." I sat on the ground and smiled bitterly. "I will be responsible for Flora."
"You—!"
Sylvia couldn't control her anger. Just as she was about to strike me again, Flora stopped her. "It's not his fault! I was the one who forced him!"
Flora's words made everyone fall silent, save for a few crows nearby that flapped their wings and flew away, scared off by her loud voice.
Sylvia's fist froze in the air. She blinked blankly, as though she was still digesting Flora's words.
Blair cleared his throat awkwardly. "Indeed, Warren was the one who looked more miserable that day, wasn't it, Harry?"
Blair then kicked Harry behind the knee. "Yes," Harry said quickly, forcing a smile. "He's right." "Is that so?" Sylvia withdrew her fist and turned to look at Flora expectantly.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Sitting on the ground, I looked up at Flora's back. She had stepped forward to stand in between me and Sylvia's fist. It was the first time someone had stood in front of me like this to protect me.
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat and I instinctively reached out to hold Flora's hand. However, she stepped aside and seemed to have realized the gravity of what she had just said. Her pretty face flushed a bright red. She stammered and changed her testimony. "Uh, to be exact, it wasn't that I forced him. I mean, I did it with voluntarily. I had sex with Warren, and he didn't force me. End of story."
"You say you did it voluntarily... But you've never interacted with Warren before. Since when did you fall for him?" Sylvia asked, squinting at her suspiciously.
"Well, ever since we were in the pack, I always imagined he'd be my prince charming. But when we entered school, I didn't want to bother him, so I never exposed my feelings for him." Flora's face turned even redder and her eyes wandered.
I stood up from the ground and said in a serious tone, "Sylvia, please trust me. I promise to treat Flora well."
"Yes, Warren is very good to me. He brings me food every day, food he even makes himself. Harry has even eaten some!" Flora patted Harry's shoulder. "Right, Harry? You enjoyed those desserts that day, didn't you?"
Harry covered his mouth in horror. "Did Warren make those? I thought you bought them!"
Flora chuckled then reached for my hand. "It's rare for a man to cook these days."
Blair couldn't help but burst into laughter. "It's true. A man who cooks is a rare thing. It's clear that they love each other very much. Just let them be."
Sylvia looked at Flora then at me, speechless. "I'm not trying to stop you from being together. It's just that you got together so fast that I was shocked! But since you're really together and both of you are serious about the relationship, then I suppose there's no harm done. I hope you two will be happy."
"We will, Sylvia. Flora will be my mate for the rest of my life," I promised sincerely.
"Okay, good!" Sylvia nodded and finally resigned herself to the fact that Flora and I were really together.
"Okay, go ahead with your business. Warren and I want to be alone now!" Flora took my hand and shooed them away.
"Remember to come to class later. Don't get too carried away," Blair said slowly, shooting us a meaningful look. Then, he dragged Harry away, mumbling, "You're coming with me. I need help carrying all the equipment."
"Can I not? They're too heavy!" Harry whined with a gloomy face.
"No."
Before leaving, Sylvia shot me a murderous look and said ferociously, "Remember what you said today. If you dare hurt Flora, I will never spare you!"
