章 284: A Date

There was nowhere else for her to go, not with Issac and Maxi occupying the library and doing what a lady should not mention. Returning to her room was not an option either, so Islinda chose the garden instead. It was refreshing and she could get lots of fresh air than being cooped up inside. 

Islinda descended the stairs and walked into the lush garden, disappointed to see that another person had taken the bench she had hoped to occupy and go through the book she had in hand. However, she was more startled to see that it was no one else but Aldric. 

She swallowed at once, suddenly feeling uncomfortable as the last encounter ran through her mind. Islinda was embarrassed thinking about how she begged him to let her go and then he told her it would have been much better if they had met in better circumstances. In one word, things were really awkward between the both of them right now.
