479: HUMILIATION

HUMILIATION

Even from the very beginning, Hope already disliked this girl. Her rosy lips pouted and her expression turned unsightly when she watched Abby walk ahead of them.0

"Do you want to watch another movie?" Kace caressed her head to draw Hope's attention back to him.

Abby, who heard that, turned around and blinked her eyes innocently. "Why?" Her voice was incredibly soft, as if Hope's reaction hurt her tender heart. "You don't want to watch the movie together with me?"

Hope's frown deepened. Her beautiful obsidian black eyes traveled back and forth between Kace and Abby, but then her lips pulled into a smile as she hugged Kace's arm possessively.

"Why not?" She said cheerfully.

Hope's sudden change of mood caught Kace by surprise.

Abby slightly raised her eyebrows while Leon only chuckled as he muttered, "It will be interesting…"

Hope threw a confrontation look at Abby as she waltzed past her with Kace in her arms. She slightly raised her chin and sneered.

Of course, this gesture didn't go unnoticed by Kace and he felt his heart swell with pride the moment he saw Hope being all possessive over him.

Kace let go of her hand and put his hand on her shoulder as he kissed her temple, as if he supported her reaction. Hope reciprocated this gesture by resting her head on Kace's chest.

"What the hell are they doing?"  Abby gritted her teeth as her eyes zeroed in on the two lovebirds.

"Not sure. You wouldn't know if you don't have someone you love that loves you back." Leon grinned as he took the magical ticket from Abby's hand and gave it to the lady, who was standing right in front of the theatre door.

"She is only a dirty human child." Abby's words were laced with malice.

"I don't think Kace thinks the same as you about that dirty human child." Leon walked toward Abby, flashing her with his beautiful smile.

"Are you on my side or hers?" Abby followed behind Leon, flickering her hair with irritation in her eyes.

"I am on my side." Leon said lightly.

Leon had known Kace for decades and he also knew about Hope. The problem was; his sister, Abby, didn't know about this and probably wouldn't realize it even in the near future that her attempt to make Kace set his eyes on her was only a futile effort.

"Don't embarrass yourself." Leon warned his sister when Abby pushed him away and walked toward their seats beside Kace.

However, upon seeing Abby's blatant intention, Hope pushed Kace to sit on the other seat as she plopped down beside Abby.

"Sit." Hope blinked her eyes at her, the same innocent eyes that Abby gave to her a moment ago. "You don't want to sit next to me?"

"Of course, I would love too." Abby feigned a happy smile as she sat down grumpily beside Hope while Leon settled down next to her.

When the movie started and all the adds popped out, Kace leaned over to whisper something into Hope's ears.

"I love it when you are being possessive like this." His warm breath brushed past her ears which made Hope slightly shudder.

"I am not being possessive." Hope whispered back, rejecting Kace's statement immediately.

But, all Kace said was only. "So cute."

=============== 

When the movie ended and all of the people were walking out of the movie theatre while talking about the movie, Leon walked toward Kace. The lycan was teasing his mate happily, not even bothering to give Abby a second glance.

"Kace, since we met here, there is something that I need to tell you now." Leon gave Hope an apologetic smile. "Can you lend me your boyfriend for a while, beautiful?"

"Don't talk to my mate like that." Kace's eyes hardened, he disliked another man calling Hope endearingly.

"Sorry." Leon raised both of his hands. "Can we talk then?"

"Let's go Hope, they need to talk about important things." Abby crossed her arms in front of her ample beasts. "I will accompany you since I already know what they are going to talk about. So, you will not be alone. How about we buy an ice cream over there? I want one."

The way Abby said it, implied an underlying meaning that she knew more about the things regarding Kace than Hope herself.

And the ice cream? Who did she think she was talking to? A five years old kid? Damn this girl!

This annoyed Hope greatly. Probably because of the rush of adrenaline or maybe because of the provocation that the girl throwing at her, but Hope clutched onto Kace's arms tightly.

"I want to hear it too." She stared at Kace resolutely. "Why can't I know?"

This was their first date after, finally, Kace decided to stay beside her and if what Kace said was true, he would never leave her again, so why couldn't Hope know whatever his businesses or secrets were?

She thought to herself.

However, when Hope saw there was no reaction from Kace, she felt her stomach flip.

Maybe, she was just being childish now, putting herself in a competition when she didn't exactly understand what the situation was.

If Kace refused her childish behavior for being a nosy girl in front of Abby, Hope didn't know if she could handle the humiliation.

Well, she didn't think about it. Maybe, she had stepped over his boundaries? They just started this relationship, right?

Hope's resolution faltered. She bit her lower lip as the silence from Kace made her feel nervous.

People who were walking out of the theatre had gradually left and now there were only the four of them in this empty corridor.

"Of course, you could stay." Kace was only teasing her. He would never embarrass his mate that way, especially when their first date was ruined after meeting these two people.

The smile that Hope showed to Kace was something that made his beast purr in delight.

But, Hope didn't stop there to entertain him, she turned around and faced Abby, with a mocking smile she said. "You can buy your own ice cream, right?"
