My Way To You 139 Bring On The Gossip Part 3

"Oh... That's good. I mean great news." Edlyn said as her gaze locked with Xander's, her eyes sparkled with hope and antic.i.p.ation. "Yes... I wanted to thank you. I have convinced them to set me free. I am now allowed to pursue my own life and I had to tell you first." Xander said as he brought Edlyn's hand to his lips. Placing a small kiss over top of her knuckles. "This... is not what it looks like." Talisha said as she popped in a grape. "Sh*t." Ariana said as she let Halina go. "What?! What is going on?!" Halina whispered but Ariana and Talisha gave her a deadpan look. "What does that mean?" Edlyn asked as her face started to flush.

"It means that I can now study what I want, all the pressure they placed on me has been lifted and they will not burden my younger sibling. Ha! Can you believe it. I can become anything I want, marry later on in life when I find the right partner. Maybe even have kids or just travel the world and see what's out there... and it's all thanks to your advice. If I hadn't talked to you I would still be trapped in my own head... Thank you." Xander said as he gave Edlyn a big smile. However Edlyn lost the sparkle she had in her eyes and brought her gaze downward.

"Nope, I'm done." Ariana said as she took a step forward. Halina held Ariana back while Talisha placed her plate on top of Bacon's head. "Well I'm glad I was able to help." Edlyn smiled as her face paled. "Yes thank you for letting Edlyn know. You're a great fellow! So your parents haven't forced you into another marriage or pushed you into someone else's arms?" Talisha asked. "No, of course not! I'm free to choose who I want as my bride." Xander said in a fl.u.s.ter, dropping Edlyn hand in the mist of his talk. "So do you have anyone in mind?" Talisha asked as she stared down Xander.

"No why?" He replied innocently. Instantly the people around them started to snicker. "Wow, okay... Nope don't care was just wondering. Now if you could excuse us we are going to mingle with some fine young men." Talisha said as she grabbed Edlyn's hand. "Oh..." Xander said as he tried to reach for Edlyn. "F*ck, you've already done enough." Talisha said as she pulled Edlyn out of his reach. "Get the hint already." She said before dragging Edlyn behind her. "I don't understand..." Xander replied pitifully. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"For the love of... Goodbye and good luck with your freedom and all. We will be leaving and going over there." Talisha said as she pointed towards a random area. "Bye Xan-cough. Goodbye Mr. Art." Edlyn said before walking off with Talisha and rejoining the group. "You okay?" Halina asked as she gave Edlyn a hug. "Ya... I'm fine. Everything is fine." She replied as Halina let her go. Thor cooed as he snuggled against Edlyn's leg. Edlyn scooped him up and looked at her friends. "Sorry, I just want to be alone right now." She said with a shaky voice. "Edlyn..." Ariana said as she tried to hug her but Edlyn stepped out of reach. "Please." She said before she running away from them and out of the training grounds.

"Well if they ain't gossiping about Edlyn." Talisha said as she watched Edlyn disappear. "They will be now." Ariana looked at Talisha and gave her a look for of determination. "Not if I do something about it." She said before heading into the crowd.

'She'll be alright.' Vasu said as he floated next to Ariana. "Rahul... do you mind going after her?" Ariana asked as she watched Rahul pace around her. 'I would never dare!' Rahul hissed as all his fur stood on end. "I'm really worried about her and you being a great warrior that knows pain..." Ariana muttered as she played with her fingers. 'I am the best choice! Do not worry, I will comfort the young maiden so she doesn't do something foolis.h.!.+' Rahul shouted with a strong laugh before he raced off. 'He's an open book.' Vasu sighed. "That's not a bad thing though." Ariana said with a gentle smile.

"So she'll be fine now?" Halina asked as she watched Rahul disappear. "Yes." Ariana answered. "She can hear them too?" Talisha whispered. Ariana broke out in a cold sweat as her eyes grew wide with shock. Both girls stared her down as Ariana's eyes darted around. "Nope! Not answering!" She shouted as she ran away leaving Talisha and Halina completely dumbstruck. 'Why didn't you just tell them Thor translates?' Vasu called out as he chased after Ariana. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Ariana shouted back as she spotted what she was looking for.

'What are you planning?' Vasu asked as he followed closely. "The only way to make people forget about what happened is to give them something else to laugh about." Ariana said as she picked up her pace. 'Are you sure you want to do this.' Vasu said as he guessed what she planned to do. "Don't stop me." Ariana said as she reached the stage. Vasu silently watched as she walked around the stage and made it to the back.

"Are you sure?" She heard someone say. Ariana looked around and spotted Mrs. Dabney talking to a young lady crying. "Mrs. Dabney is everything okay?" Ariana asked as she jogged over. "Oh Ariana! Can you do me a huge favour?" Mrs. Dabney asked as the girl sniffed away her tears. "Sure, anything for you." Ariana replied with a smile.
