Chapter 8 I Will Only Like You

• Audrey had a lot to say to Sterling, but upon seeing his indifferent expression, she bit back all the words.
• She knew it would be challenging to melt his heart and find the source of his illness.
• Audrey wanted to kick Sterling out of Class 10 yesterday and kept causing trouble, but she changed her mind today. It was unexpected, wasn’t it?
• She decided not to further annoy Sterling today.
• Audrey returned to her seat and packed her things without glancing at the cold young man beside her.
• “Do you want to give up so quickly?”
• A low and frigid voice mocked.
• Patrick, who stood at the door of the classroom, rushed over and glared at Sterling. “That’s enough. Audrey was punished several times because of you today!”
• “Shut up, Patrick.” Audrey stared at Patrick. “You go first.”
• Patrick didn’t know what was wrong with Audrey today. Maybe she really wanted to seduce Sterling. Patrick never said no to Audrey, so he left as he was asked.
• Audrey gazed at Sterling, who was playing a mobile game beside her, and cleared her throat. “Well… I won’t be a sucker for Corbin anymore,” she declared.
• Sterling nonchalantly raised his eyes and uttered expressionlessly, “It’s f**king none of my business.”
• Audrey frowned at Sterling’s four-letter word. “Please mind your language.”
• She might be unruly, but she rarely used d*rty words.
• “It has nothing to do with you,” Sterling retorted, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
• “Yes, indeed.” Under Sterling’s gaze, Audrey’s eyebrows danced. She was tender and sweet, and her smile seemed to be able to melt the snow in winter, rendering her incredibly beautiful.
• Sterling looked deeply into Audrey’s eyes and asked sullenly, “Why are you smiling? You look ugly when you smile.”
• Audrey’s smile froze.
• Sterling still treated Audrey as his enemy, so his insolence was expected.
• Audrey blinked. Her long and thick eyelashes drooped as she wrung her slender fingers. “Believe it or not, I’ll only like you in the future.”
• Sterling stared at Audrey for a few seconds as if he had encountered a monster.
• He put away his phone, draped his black schoolbag over his shoulder, and held a basketball in his other hand. “You must be out of your mind,” he said before standing up and leaving.
• But he halted after taking a few steps.
• Corbin stood at the door of the classroom, his refined and gentle countenance reflecting complexity and seriousness. “Audra didn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive her.”
• Sterling sneered with a scowl, “Oh? Are you here to defend her?”
• “She is protective of me. You know, I’m not interested in being the most handsome guy in school…”
• Sterling’s expression grew even darker. He swiftly and forcefully flicked the basketball in his hand, causing it to hit the doorframe. “Shut up, damn you!” he barked.
• The basketball rebounded, and Sterling extended his long and strong hand to grab it.
• He looked coldly at Corbin, who had turned pale from fear. “Since you don’t like me, how about fighting with me outside?”
• Corbin was known to be a good student at Elsa Noble High School. He was a gentleman who never did anything against the rules of the school.
• “If you refuse to mend your ways, I’ll inform our parents and let them handle it.”
• Sterling sneered. Without looking at Corbin, he stepped out of the classroom and left.
• Corbin gazed after Sterling’s rebellious figure, suppressed his displeasure, and turned to look at Audrey in the classroom.
• What he saw left him stunned.
