Ainsley didn't want to tell Finley the real reason why she cried, but with the boy's gentle persuasion plus his handsome face as a bonus, Ainsley gave up. The girl reluctantly told Finley the truth.
"So...you're frustrated because you're compared with Lady Blair from the Aretha Family?" Finley's eyes popped out. He looked at Ainsley in disbelief.
Never in his imagination he would think that Ainsley cried because of such a reason.
Ainsley's face flushed red. She knew that her reason to cry was just a simple one, and she definitely overreacted. But don't stare at her like that, okay?!
"Y-yesh, twat ish de stowy…(y-yes, that is the story…)" Ainsley cleared her throat as she reluctantly nodded. She couldn't hide things from Finley, anyway.
"Ah, I see...so it all starts from Lady Blair rumour…" Finley didn't know whether to laugh or not.
However, Finley's tone, when mentioning Lady Blair, was slightly off in Ainsley's ears. With her keen hearing enhanced, she could differentiate people's tone of voice.
What she picked up from Fin's tone was a disguised...contempt?
"Dwo ywou know Ladwy Blail? (Do you know Lady Blair?)" Ainsley cocked her head. She didn't know why Finley spoke of Lady Blair with contempt in his voice. Everyone seemed to like her…
"Hahaha. Of course, I know. She's popular in mafia society." Finley smiled bitterly.
How could I not know this b*tch when she's my fianceé in my previous life?
The one who betrayed me and took everything away from my family just to bring the Aretha Family to the top of the mafia society!
How would I forget that b*tch?!
Finley's eyes turned cold, devoid of any emotions. The atmosphere around him changed. He looked ruthless and full of bloodlust. Such an abrupt change startled both Ainsley and Code-C.
The two of them instinctively distanced themselves from Finley while putting on a shocked face.
What is this? Such an intense hatred! What's going on?! Finley...does Finley hate Blair? Uh…?
Ainsley was too scared to ask. Finley's aura became cold-blooded, and it was clear that from his eyes, it was the eyes of those who had killed people. Ainsley was once again stupefied.
Finley had killed people before? But he's only 8! What kind of fairy family–
In fact, most mafia children learned to kill the moment they turned 5. Which mafia would be soft-hearted? They're all cruel. Even Finley had killed people brutally before, despite his warm-looking face.
However, Ainsley didn't know any of this. When she saw the thick hatred in Finley's eyes, she was suddenly curious…
What's the connection between Lady Blair and Finley until the latter has such a strong desire to kill the former?
Ainsley blinked innocently. For an eight-year-old boy to already have a nemesis and even thinking of killing them...what kind of corrupt world is this?
What Ainsley didn't know was that Finley bore deep hatred toward Blair because he once fell in love with her.
If this world was novel, those two would definitely be the main protagonist.
But this world wasn't a novel.
The so-called female lead actually chose her family's great ambition and used Finley's affection to betray him. In just one night, Finley lost everything.
The betrayal was too shocking for Finley until he almost didn't believe in love afterwards. Even when he adored Ainsley, he never thought of her as a romantic interest when his heart was still wounded.
He just found the girl to be pitiful, just like him. Thus, helping a fellow pitiful subject to go against the wave was just a sort of self-entertainment that Finley got.
Ainsley's existence consoled him and made him believe that he could change the future.
But now, he heard that his past nemesis, the woman whom he once loved, became the reason why his pitiful fellow friend cried. She even became depressed and showed a negative sign.
If this continued, Finley believed that Ainsley wouldn't break free from her bleak future.
How could he not be enraged? Ainsley was a bit similar to him. Both of them had a miserable end, and now, both of them were going in different ways from the past life.
If Ainsley failed, Finley thought that maybe his fate was also sealed.
Thus, Finley gritted his teeth. Lady Blair's beautiful image popped out in his head, but all he wanted was to kill her.
How dare she make Ain cry? She hasn't even met Ain, and her influence already affected the baby?! Ha!
Finley snorted. The boy didn't realise that he was showing his true colour in front of Ainsley and Code-C. His mind was preoccupied with how to help Ainsley break free from Blair's shadow.
After a brief pause, Finley forced a smile and looked at Ainsley.
"You said that she discovered a gold mine– wait. Why are you so far away?" Finley choked in silence.
The boy looked at Code-C, who was glaring at him and Ainsley, who did far away that she almost escaped through the door.
What the…? What's going on?
"Ain?" Finley resumed his gentle attitude, just like warm sunshine, but that sweet smile only sent a shiver down Ainsley's spine.
Dammit! Even a fairy is so vicious! He's only 8, but he gets a look of a killer and, and, ahhh! Scary!
In Ainsley's eyes, Finley was scarier than those old foxes in her family. Those cold eyes without warmth and the thick bloodlust aura around him…
He resembled the Godfather instead…
"Ain?" Finley called out once more. His voice was gentle, and the smile on his face wasn't fake. His handsome face was brimming with warmth, but Ainsley almost choked from fear. Even Code-C shuddered.
In his cat form, he might not win against this boy!
