Zoe Pierce had only taken a couple of steps forward when she heard Aaron Xavier's voice from behind her. "Zoe Pierce, you're so childish."
'That ungrateful brat.'
Zoe Pierce spun around, ready to glare, but instead of the sarcastic expression she expected, she saw a face struggling to hold back a laugh.
Aaron Xavier's lips were twitching, as if he was trying hard not to smile but failing. His eyes were curved into crescents, and anyone could see his laughter was genuine.
Zoe Pierce had been about to say something, but looking at his face, she found herself at a loss for words.
'This stupid kid.'
'So stubborn.'
'Who's the childish one here, anyway?' Zoe Pierce huffed softly and decided to ignore him. If she kept looking, things would only get weirder.
It was as if she was losing a bit of control herself.
She almost wanted to laugh along with him.
