Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807 Confused

Atticus was a bit surprised. He had recognized her serene presence the moment she entered, but it didn't change the fact that her visit was highly unusual. Rising from his seated position, he bowed respectfully.

"Come on, sweetie, we're way past that now. Give me a hug instead," Seraphina said with a warm smile.

But Atticus hesitated, glancing up at her before clearing his throat. 'What a deadly trap.'

Despite being over a century old, Seraphina didn't look her age at all. Her flawless skin, perfectly accentuated curves, and youthful features made her appear to be in her thirties.

She might technically be older than Atticus, but considering his maturity far exceeded his physical age, it didn't make the situation any less awkward.

Atticus constantly had to remind himself that she was an old granny to maintain his composure.

Seeing his wary look, Seraphina chuckled. "You're looking at me like I'm going to eat you alive. Relax."

"Anyway, I can see you've got something on your mind. How about this aunty helps you out? I've got a great idea for dealing with those pests outside," she offered with a sly grin.

Atticus's bright eyes dimmed instantly. He had been hoping she might offer to teach him how to use his Spirit element, but clearly, he had been wrong.

"What's with that look? Don't you want my help?" Seraphina teased.

Atticus sighed. He could already guess what she was going to suggest, but he knew he had no choice but to listen. "What's the idea… aunty?"

Her smile widened, clearly pleased by how he addressed her. "Simple: make your relationship with Zoey public."

'I knew it,' Atticus thought, frowning.

"You do know she said no to me, right?" he replied, his tone flat.

"What?" Seraphina's smile vanished.

"Yeah," Atticus nodded. "She said no."

"What do you mean she said no? You asked her out, and she refused?" Seraphina was utterly shocked.

She had assumed their relationship was already settled, especially after hearing about their bond back at the academy.

This was why she had asked Atticus about his intentions with Zoey in the past, and his answer had more than satisfied her. She hadn't bothered to ask about the current status of their relationship, assuming it was a done deal.

But now, hearing this, Seraphina's gaze grew distant as she tried to process the revelation.

"What the hell is wrong with that girl?" she muttered to herself, baffled. "Did her mother's stupidity somehow reach her?"

She appeared to be venting to herself. "I just don't get it. From what I've heard about the two of you at the academy, it was obvious she liked you. No one could force her to act like that unless she wanted to. If she liked you, why the hell would she say no? How hard is it to just listen to your own feelings? What's with all the unnecessary drama?"

Seraphina took a deep breath, as if regaining her composure. 'Looks like I'll have to pay the academy a visit. Thank goodness he's still interested in her.'
