Chapter 134 Why?

"Why…," Amos stammered and pulled back. He shifted his gaze and stared at Joanna for help.

"Stop looking at her because she is not gonna help you. In fact, I won't let her," Audrey said, seeing Amos plead with Joanna with his eyes.

"If you are this shy in front of me then I wonder what you are gonna do when the big bullies strike," Audrey began in a subtle tone. She pulled away and sat down on the staircase.

"You both should stop staring at me and sit," Audrey ordered as she beat the space she wanted them to sit on.

Despite feeling uneasy about this Joanna still sat on her left-hand side. Amos sat at her right-hand side and stole glances at Joanna.

He wondered what Audrey was up to with how serious she was acting.

"I don't know whether you are aware of who she is and what she has gone through these past years but I will tell you," Audrey said with her hands on her thigh and her gaze focused on Amos.

"Sure, I would really love to hear more about her," Amos faked another person's voice to talk to Audrey.

"I almost thought you were dead and dumb. I am surprised to see that you can talk. And not only that. You have such a nice voice," said Audrey teasingly. Her lips curved into a beautiful smile.

"I wonder whether if it is this sweet voice of yours that she fell in love with…,"

"Hey," Joanna nudged Audrey by the side and gave her a disapproving look.

Amos chuckled when he saw how shy Joanna was acting.

"I don't know. She is here so why don't you ask her," Amos started. He resisted the desire to laugh. "I would also love to know".

Amos said not avoiding Joanna's murderous glares directed at him.

"He said he wants to know what made you fall in love with him so why don't you tell us? I am also dying to know…,"

"Hey, why are you both ganging up on me?" Joanna pretended to be angry. She tried to stand up but Audrey stretched and pulled her back onto the staircase.

"It's ok if you don't want to tell us. I will just assume you are too shy to say it because he is here," Audrey said. She averted her gaze back to Amos' face.

"You…,"

"Like I was trying to say Anna here is my BFF. I love her a whole lot and as her friend, I am willing to do anything to see her happy, do you know why?" A painful smile appeared on Audrey's face.

"Why?" Amos asked as he adjusted his glasses well on the bridge of his nose.

"Apart from the fact that she is my best friend, another reason that I am willing to do anything for her happiness is that I know just what she went through until this moment".

They were all too focused on their discussion to care about their noisy environment.

"She has been through a lot of bullshit. She deserves to be happy and I won't be against you if you don't do these four things to her that I hate…,"

"Hey, Drey what are you saying? I never mentioned that I am in love with him nor did I ever say we were in a relationship. So why do you want to give him your…,"

"Are you trying to tell me that you don't like him? Not even the slightest bit?" Audrey now staring at Joanna asked.

Joanna's eyes wavered the moment Audrey asked the question. She suddenly went quiet.

In the past, she was quick to reject him whenever he proposed. Her stance about their relationship was always firm.

But lately, she realised that whenever asked the question about her feelings for him or the status of their relationship, she is always lost at what to say.

Why was she like this?

Whenever she is around him, she gets foreign feelings she has never felt for anyone.

Is this what people called the mate bond?

But if this is the mate bond then why is hers so different? Why doesn't she feel the exact way mates feel for each other?

She has 1001 questions but unfortunately, there is no adult she can talk to. She doesn't have a mother or father she can share all these things with.

"Anyways it doesn't matter whether or not you both are in a relationship but to everyone on campus you are considered the newest couple…,"

"Really?" Amos asked. He tried so hard to hide his excitement but his glistening eyes still gave him away.

"But why?" Amos pretended to be unhappy when he realised that Joanna was staring at him.

"Right now you both are trending on the school's platform. Videos and pictures of what took place between the two of you earlier were posted on the school platform…,"

"What?" Joanna remarked with widened eyes. She turned to stare at her surroundings and true to her guess people were staring at her while talking in low tones.

Even though they were speaking in low tones she could hear them from where she sat.

[You all do even more heinous things so how dare all of you hypocrites to point fingers at me]

Joanna glared at the mean girls passing by who were badmouthing her.

Noticing the scowl on her face Amos brought out his cellphone from his trouser's pocket and captured her face just the way it was.

Joanna frowned as she turned to look at him.

"You are using the latest iPhone. That means your family must be super rich," Audrey commented when she got a glimpse of the iPhone 13 pro max that Amos was holding.

It was after Audrey commented that Amos realised the type of cellphone he was holding.

He felt like slapping himself when he realised that in a hurry he must have mistakenly taken his cell phone instead of the new one Chris purchased for him.

"If your household is so wealthy then how come I haven't seen or heard about you before?" Audrey asked.

She didn't notice just how anxious her question had made the two people by her sides.

Joanna had thought that the problem was over when Audrey stopped pressing to know more about Amos. Right now she knew that the trouble was far from over.

"I am quite familiar with almost all the top wealthy families in the Kingdom so which of these families do you come from?"

Audrey stared at Amos as she waited for his response.

"Oh that….," Amos exclaimed, not knowing what to say. He had never expected that he would make such a silly mistake so he never made arrangements for such an occurrence.

He will be so furious if Audrey discovers his identity.
