Babel Novel
Chapter 9
Chapter 9 I'll 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?”
Alow and frigid voice mocked.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
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... | won’t be a sucker for Corbin anymore,” she declared.
Sterling nonchalantly raised his eyes and uttered expressionlessly, “It’s fucking none of my business.” Audrey frowned at Sterling’s four-letter word. “Please mind your language.”
She might be unruly, but she rarely used dirty 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.
