Chereads / Twilight: The Heavenly Demon / Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 42

Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 42

Just thinking about them being together makes me want to vomit. It's actually more cringe-worthy and awkward than Bella and Edward.

It was the reason why I always ignored Bella whenever she wanted to talk to me, and I would only have a conversation with her without any intention of making it last. I have always hated unfaithful people, maybe because in my past lives, especially in Murim, I came across different kinds of unfaithful individuals and traitors.

Bella was one of the worst kinds, the kind that when the wife was left by her husband because the husband was going out of town to work and the wife just couldn't handle it anymore, so she went to another man's embrace.

So I'll figure something out to prevent that kind of thing from happening to Edward. Besides, the Cullens slowly grew on me. I'll help them if they ever face a dire situation or, in this case, a situation like Edward's.

Well, Bella and Edward would end up together at the end of the day. But still, I'm curious if I will ever be able to make Bella loyal to him or if she would end up in Jacob's embrace momentarily.

"Say aaa~" Alice, who was on my lap, was hand-feeding me the leftover pasta from the previous night. Pasta and a cup of tea for breakfast? Why not.

I then asked Alice, "Should we go to school?"

Alice raised her eyebrow and answered, "I think we should."

"What if Bella asks about the family? What should we say to her?"

Alice then entered a pensive state, with both of her hands wrapped around my neck, and she rested her head on my head. I couldn't help but smile as I observed her adorable and thoughtful expression, eagerly awaiting her response.

After a few minutes, Alice exited her pensive state and adjusted her position on my lap and smiled, "Let me worry about that."

Hmm? I didn't sense Edward near us. Maybe he went to Bella's house to observe her while she's sleeping? I'm not sure where he went in these awkward times between Bella and the Cullens, so I assume Edward went to her house or maybe he's just staring at the wall? I have no idea at all because the movie doesn't show it.

"Where's Edward?"

Alice shook her head and said, "I don't know. He hasn't been here since Carlisle and the others left."

Indeed, the Cullens left a few hours ago. I didn't know where they went, and I don't want to know either.

I nodded at her. Then, after finishing my breakfast and tidying up the place a bit, we left the Cullens' house and went to my house to prepare for school.

...

( School - Third Pov )

The Forks High School was still bustling with students as usual, but today, the Cullens were nowhere to be seen. Bella, who was still waiting in the parking lot, had a confused expression on her face and seemed to be waiting for the Cullens to appear. She had been in the parking lot for a few moments now, greeting her friends and chatting with them, but the Cullens still hadn't shown up.

"Bella!"

Seeing Bella's confused and lost expression, one of her friends, Jessica, shouted at her and gestured for her to get to their class as soon as possible because the class would start soon.

With a reluctant look, Bella went to her class with her friends. A moment after Bella went to her class, a Rolls Royce Phantom pulled into the parking lot. From the car emerged Mikael and Alice, both wearing relaxed expressions on their faces. Mikael then offered his hand to her, and she accepted with a smile on her face.

The class went as usual until it was time for the break. Students leisurely strolled through the hallway, approaching the cafeteria. Bella, as usual, went with her friends. After they sat down at their table, Bella looked towards the table where the Cullens usually sat.

And to her confusion, no one was there. But, when she was about to look away from the table, she caught a glimpse of Alice who was skipping her way to the table with Mikael following her.

Bella widened her eyes, followed by a smile on her face. She then excused herself to her friends and immediately went to Mikael and Alice.

"Hey!" Bella greeted them happily, and they greeted her back with a smile as well.

"Where's the rest of you guys?" 

When Bella asked the question, Mikael pretended not to hear her and just ate his food. Meanwhile, Alice, who was prepared for this specific question, answered her.

"Well, they still feel bad about last night's incident, so they'll be taking a break today," Alice skillfully lied to her. Mikael, who heard Alice's explanation to Bella, just rolled his eyes.

After Bella heard that, she didn't know what to say. Carlisle told her that it was not her fault, but at the same time, she felt that she was the reason it happened.

Bella then asked again, "Do you know where Edward is?"

Alice just shook her head, and Bella turned towards Mikael, who was still eating his food while ignoring her gaze. In the end, Bella simply nodded and ate her food with a dazed look on her face.

A few hours later, the bell rang, indicating that it was time for the students to go home. Bella bid farewell to her friend and went to the parking lot, but when she arrived, she didn't see Mikael's car, which usually stood out from the other cars in the parking lot.

She thought that maybe they had already gone home earlier than her, so she got into her truck and went home. Along the way, she was still thinking about the incident from last night, it had clouded her mind ever since Alice told her today.

A moment later, Bella arrived at her home. And to her surprise, Edward was there, at the side of her house, seemingly waiting for her. So, with a hopeful expression on her face, Bella got out of her car and approached him.

"Hey..."

Bella greeted him, but he didn't greet her back. Instead, he said, "Come take a walk with me..."
