Chapter 1074 Because It's Broken

Later on that day, Cody came to pick Sally up.

Sally didn't really want to go with him.

But she let Cody drag her to his waiting car.

"Cody, are you sure you want me to go there? There's going to be a swimming pool. The ones going there are mostly senior students. I'm just 18 years old. Aren't you afraid that someone might take advantage of me there?"

Sally wrinkled her nose before she reluctantly fastened her seat belt.

"Are you serious? I'm sorry, did I remember it wrong? This sixteen-year old girl threw a party, invited all the kids around her age and got drunk in the middle of the makeshift dance floor before she declared to everyone how grown up she was already just by getting plastered. You remember that? That was scary. You cut off ten years off my life that night."

Cody poked her forehead playfully. There was no doubt about how smart and kind Sally was. But when she decided to get crazy, she really pulled out all the stops and got really crazy.

"Oh, Cody! Stop bringing that up. It's embarrassing!" Sally hid her face behind her hands. Everyone had a few embarrassing things behind them.

"Sally, come with me. I just want to show everyone that I have a girlfriend." Cody said seriously as he looked at her with his dark eyes.

At his serious tone, Sally paused. She was about to take some gum out of his glove box when she heard the silent but lethal undertone in his voice.

"Cody, I... I..." Sally stammered. She didn't know how to reply.

Biting her lips, Sally leaned back on her seat stiffly.

Cody looked away from her and focused on the road ahead. He pursed his thin lips, his expression cold as ice.

"Sally, I know you don't love me now. But it doesn't matter, because you will be mine sooner or later."

Cody said confidently.

Sally choked at his statement and smiled awkwardly, "Why are you saying that? I am only eighteen years old. I don't think I will be ready to settle down in a couple of years."

She didn't know how to respond to his statement so she opted to finish with a nervous giggle.

Cody had always played the older brother figure in her life. He always protected her from anyone and anything. He took care of her. There weren't any memories of her laughing out loud or crying her heart out without him beside her.

ally."

Just then, Cody came over. He glanced at Oliver before he put his arm around Sally's shoulders. "Let's go and have some juice."

Cody said before he tugged her out of the room.

Oliver sniffed. Even so, a trace of bright red flowed down his nose.

It was all his father's fault! He had fooled him with a military order to catch up with Sally at all costs.

If he complained that he was too young to be doing such things, his father would take off his shoes and threw them at him. "I've been chasing girls since I was thirteen! And you're saying it's still early for you?"

Other fathers worried that their children would fall in love at an early age. His father was a freak. He did not stop him at all and instead he even encouraged him all the time!

On the other side of the party, Cody strolled out with Sally in his arms.

His tall body covered most of her sight. He regretted choosing a more conservative swimsuit.

No, maybe he shouldn't have dragged her here. He should have cancelled their invitation to this party.

Sally sat on the poolside for a while. After doing some warm-up stretching, she couldn't wait to jump into the swimming pool and when she did, she swam freely as if she was already an expert.

Soon enough, people were distracted by the merriment around. Laughter filled the pool area.

"Cody, are you free now? Can you come over? I have something to tell you."

Irene noticed Sally was already in the water, swimming to her heart's content. She took the chance and asked Cody.
