Bab 58: Help

She desperately needed someone's shoulder to assuage her anger at times like this. But then, her mind becomes much less hazy, and her heart almost stopped when she realized her arms were wrapped around Xander's sturdy waist. She hugs him tightly.

Instantly, she pulled her body away from Xander and lowered her head to hide her ripe tomato-like face.

'Damn you, Scarlett!! How can you take advantage of this Ice Prince at a time like this!?' She cursed inside, lowering her head deeper, and didn't dare to see Xander's face.

Scarlett thought Xander would be angry or tease her because she dared to hug him back. However, she was wrong because Xander's following sentence seemed to pull her back to reality.

"Do you need my help?" His voice sounded gentle, but she could tell cold anger was coming from it.

Looking up, she saw a pair of gentle and clear eyes. She was touched by Xander's concern.
