A Mistake… A Baby!

Who exactly is this guy?

Following in his footsteps is a young man beside him who, in her estimation, is not too far from her age. When compared to the first man, the new guy’s appearance is the complete antithesis of that of the first man.

Alessandra covered herself by hiding behind their enormous trash can. She was at a loss to explain why suddenly, she was feeling so exhausted. Her heart was pounding at such a rapid rate! The only thing that she could hear was her heartbeat, and it clouded her ability to think clearly.

What exactly is going on with her? She made another attempt to observe the man from a far distance, which she found very simple to accomplish.

She heard him chuckling, and all of a sudden, her entire body went completely still. She had no idea how long she had been sneakily observing the man until her father emerged out of nowhere and screamed at her.

“Holy crap, Sandy! What, you can’t even hear me? I’ve been calling you throughout the past few minutes. What are you doing behind that dirty trash bin, and why are you acting like that? Come inside, the delivery man has already called me to tell me he’ll be running behind schedule.”

Alessandra had the impression that she was a balloon that was about to pop at any second.

Her irises became more open.

“What are you doing, Alessandra, huh? Get inside,”

She had no other option but to follow her father. However, just as she was about to enter their apartment, she looked around and noticed the first man who came out of Cathryn’s house looking at her with a grin on his lips. This happened just before she finally entered their apartment.

Damn! Did he notice that she was staring at him at that moment?

What an embarrassment!

“Sandy, let’s get moving and finish writing up our research paper. I don’t want to drag it out any longer,” Cathryn said as she dragged her to her house. “I don’t want to prolong it any longer.”

Since Alessandra and her father have been residing in that place for the past few months, she is confident that she has grown accustomed to her new life. The fact that she and Cathryn were in the same class was a stroke of luck for her because it allowed her to quickly make friends with the other students in the room.

She gave a slight nod in response. “Why don’t we do our project here at home?” Instead, she asked about her.

“Sandy, please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. You are aware that you do not have a connection to the internet. We need to have WiFi so that we can look things up on the internet. In the course of our research, we require that.” Cathryn challenged her by raising her eyebrows and pointing out that they had lightning-fast internet access in their home.

In a relatively short amount of time, Alessandra and Cathryn were able to feel at ease with one another. They already had become the best of friends.

“Eh-” Cathryn was already ahead of her, walking in the direction of their house, and she was about to reason with her.

“Sandy, there are times when I just don’t get what you’re saying. It appears as though our home is an infernal place that will cause you to catch fire the moment you set foot in it,” She said with a smirk on her face.

Cathryn successfully dragged Alessandra inside because she had no other choice. It was not the first time she had visited their house. However, she takes extra precautions to ensure the person she avoids is absent.

She didn’t waste any time and went straight to the garage to see if there was a motorcycle there. What she did was not hidden from Cathryn’s view at any point.

“Sandy, look. If your concern is directed toward my brother Cade, allow me to put your mind at ease. He is not here today. Don’t be concerned. He is currently with his pals. Tonight, he will not be sleeping here. Therefore, you can put your worries to rest; your worst enemy will not be present,”

This is not a fresh idea. During the time that she has spent in Santa Clara, it would appear that the entire community is aware of the fact that her older brother, Cade, is her worst foe! The most haughty, conceited, and proud man she had ever encountered in her life.

Cade McKnight went to their apartment the next day after he caught her looking at him covertly from behind the garbage can. He told his father that he was Cathryn’s older brother when he introduced himself. Cade has shared with her father her desire to develop a friendship with her. And naturally, her father had faith in what he said.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

And this is his father, who put his faith in Cade’s charming manner and believed that what this guy was saying was true. But what her father didn’t know was that whenever it was just the two of them, Cade couldn’t help but tease her whenever they were alone.

He is always making fun of her, saying that she had a crush on him in the past and that she shouldn’t deny it. Another incident involves him spreading the rumor throughout Santa Clara Village that she has feelings for him. Because almost all of their neighbors are happy making fun of her in front of Cade, she detests being forced to go out in public by herself at their apartment.

That scoundrel!

Alessandra can recall what he said to her a couple of weeks ago even to this day. “Alessandra, I am aware of the amount of affection you have for me. So, from now on, I won’t make fun of you anymore. However, this is only a temporary situation. I may be charged with child abuse. Alessandra, you’re not even a teenager yet! When you turned eighteen…” he gave her a knowing wink and told her, “I’ll continue to tease you again.”
