Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 933

Chapter 933 I’m Not a Pervert

No woman could reject a man’s helpless pleas, especially when the man was someone she saw as a close friend. Narissa was just like any other woman, so she ended up giving in to Gale’s requests. No one could tell, but beneath Narissa’s tough and cold exterior lay a gentle and kind heart.

The Cuber Family’s manor was located in the suburbs. Jamie wasn’t exactly escorted out of the manor—in fact, he was thrown out of the place. The driver randomly halted the car by some park outside the manor before ‘inviting’ Jamie to get out of the car.

Jamie grumbled and complained as he let himself out. He had only walked a short distance before the heel of his right shoe broke. “How much unluckier can I get?” he hissed to himself as he removed his other shoe and broke its heel as well.

Then, with his newly customized stilettos, he stormed down the road toward the city. If everything goes well, I should be able to see some signs of life before the sun sets, Jamie figured.

However, his legs were aching about two hours into his trip. When he took his stilettos off, he realized that the back of his ankles was horribly blistered. He decided to remove his shoes and continue his journey barefoot.

“This feels so much better.” Jamie tried to lighten his own mood by speaking to himself. Right then, he heard the sound of a woman’s screams coming from the woods beside him. “Help me! Ah! Slow down! Please stop!” the woman cried. Jamie turned around to find a petite woman in the woods.

She was being dragged around by a large dog, and she bumped into a few trees as the dog ran around like a wild beast. The dog didn’t care for its owner as it continued charging around uncontrollably.

As Jamie watched, the dog and its owner sprinted out of the woods toward a river on the opposite side of the road. The dog seemed to lose its mind even more after it saw the river—it charged directly toward it before leaping into it.

“Watch out!” Jamie no longer hesitated after he saw the woman falling toward the river. He ran over and grabbed the woman with one arm before holding onto the dog’s leash with the other, successfully preventing what might’ve been an enormous tragedy.

The woman was shocked when she saw the man in a dress and a wig. “Your voice…” In a panic, Jamie had forgotten about his fake voice and ended up using his actual voice. “Don’t get me wrong! I’m not a pervert!” Jamie tried to explain himself.

“I understand. It’s cosplay, right? I tried it back in university!” The woman offered Jamie an explanation that he hadn’t thought of. “Yeah, cosplay,” he replied with a faint smile. Then, he let go of the woman and helped her untangle the dog’s leash in her hand. “A petite woman like you should get a smaller dog. You wouldn’t be able to handle an Alaskan Malamute when it goes crazy,” Jamie uttered.

“But I love this breed of dog.” The woman’s eyes were shaped like half-moons when she beamed. “Don’t you think it’s really nice to hug a dog as large as this? I always end up getting dragged around by it, but it still soothes me to have my dog. Do you have a dog, too?” The twinkle in the woman’s eyes told Jamie that she had to be from a wealthy family. He figured that she was probably someone who was sheltered and pampered while growing up.

“Sorry.” Jamie turned his head away from the other man.

“I don’t want an apology!” Gale put on a disappointed look as he went along with the conversation. “You should be apologizing to Narissa. I have always supported you. I used to think that you were a decent man because of all the effort that you showed, but it seems like I should reevaluate my judgment of you now. Perhaps Mr. Cuber was right. People like you don’t care for others. Maybe you don’t have it in you to give Narissa happiness!”

Jamie was exhausted—both physically and mentally. He didn’t feel like speaking, and he didn’t want to have a conversation with Gale then. Narissa was the only one who had the right to decide if Jamie could give her happiness, but she had chased him out of the house, so her answer was clear. Her answer seemed also to prove Gale right.

Jamie was angry with the outcome, yet he couldn’t pour his feelings out to anyone. The only person he wanted to speak to was also the person who no longer wanted to give him a chance to speak. He rested an arm on the bar before he let out a soft scoff. “You’re right. I’m all over the place, I’m not determined, I’m not honest, and I have all these problems that make me a completely useless person. Are you happy now?”

Bam! Gale punched Jamie in the face. “You coward! You have no right to be Narissa’s partner. I’m going to protect her. I want you to disappear right now. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up each time I see you!” After that, Gale left the house, slamming the door behind him.

Jamie let out a laugh to fill the silence in the house. However, his laugh sounded almost like sobs. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips before he looked up at the ceiling with tears in his eyes. How peculiar. That punch didn’t hurt me at all, but why do I feel like there’s a knife in my chest? My chest hurts with every beat of my heart.
