Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

"Xan!" Timothy called as he noticed Xan. He hurriedly ran over and asked in a worried tone, "Why did you come back?"

She did not say anything, merely going over to retrieve her forgotten bag on her seat. With her head hung low, she turned to leave.

"Don’t listen to their nonsense, Xan." Worried that Xan might have misunderstood the situation, Timothy ran after her and softly explained, "There’s nothing between Kiara and I."

She glanced at him and asked, "Did she confess to you?"

Timothy nodded, seemingly nervous. "I think so."

"You should confess if you like someone, right?" Xan asked, looking at him curiously.

Timothy paused for a moment. "It’s not necessary. Some people have crushes but are too afraid to express their feelings, so they keep it to themselves."

Xan pondered about it seriously. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Everyone else remained rubbernecking around them. Kiara was still awkwardly waiting for Timothy to accept her love letter with reddening eyes.

"If that’s the case, I want to confess too," Xan said innocently. She figured she should confess too since Kiara already did it.

"What?" Timothy was taken aback, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"Who are you confessing to?" Zachary asked curiously.

Xan stared at Kiara curiously for the longest time. She noticed that Kiara had a love letter prepared.

After giving it some thought, Xan took out a piece of paper from her bag and wrote down "I like you" on it. She then handed it to Timothy frankly.

He remained standing in shock. He had always known that Xan was rather different, but he didn’t expect her to be this different—she had even copied someone to write a love letter now.

Zachary’s jaw almost dropped in surprise. He quickly dug out his phone and texted Ashton, "There’s an emergency, my bro! Xan just confessed to Timothy!"

Ashton: "?"

Zachary: "Xan wrote a love letter and confessed to Timothy!"

Ashton: "Please ask Timothy to be careful. All the best to him."

Zachary scratched his head. He had expected Ashton, who was usually overprotective of Xan, to go ballistic and call Timothy to give him a good scolding.

He didn’t expect Ashton to wish Timothy all the best instead. What did he mean by that?

Someone said, "Damn, even that dimwit confessed!"

"What’s the meaning of this? Are you a copycat? You’re also giving him a love letter right after Kiara gave him one -are you trying to challenge her?" Kiara’s friends asked angrily.

Xan frowned and covered her ears with her hands.

She found them too noisy and wanted to kill them. However, she couldn’t as Sophia had prohibited her from killing people.

"Um, you don’t have to follow her in this, Xan." Timothy assumed that Xan was merely copying Kiara’s behavior. He hurriedly took her love letter and coaxed, "I’ll bring you back to your parents, okay?"

She shook her head and said, "You’ve accepted my love letter-you’re mine now."

Xan pointed at him, indicating that he was now her boyfriend as he had taken her love letter. "What if... I don’t agree with it?" Timothy asked, and then his mind went blank instantly.

Xan gave it some thought before replying, "I’ll knock you out and bring you back."

Sophia had used the same method on Dexter, who was injured and had faked his death back then. She found him and brought him back to lock him up.

Timothy suddenly felt chills running through his back. "I mean.... This is just too sudden. Give me a moment to discuss this with Ashton, okay?"

Even if he liked Xan, he dared not agree to be her boyfriend just like that. Ashton would definitely fly back to beat him up if he objected to it. Timothy knew he was no match against Ashton.

Xan frowned, perplexed. "Why do you have to discuss with Ashton about becoming my boyfriend? Do you like Ashton as well?"

Timothy felt like he was about to lose his mind.

However, as Xan’s situation was unique, he patiently explained, "I’m a guy, Xan. It’s impossible for me to like Ashton."

Xan glanced at Zachary. "Zachary is also a guy, but he still likes Ash—" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Before she could finish her sentence, Zachary rushed over to cover her mouth. "Oh my god, are you trying to kill me?"

Timothy was stunned. He truly was losing his mind now. Did his best friend like his other best friend?

Zachary took in a sharp breath as he looked around at the rubberneckers, relieved to find them oblivious to what had just happened.

"What’s this supposed to mean, Xandra? Kiara just confessed, and now, you’re doing the same. Are you trying to ruin her chance?" Kiara’s friend, Daphne Yates, asked angrily.

She rushed forward in order to get an explanation. "Do you like Kiara or not, Timothy? You’d better make things clear!"

"I’m sorry. I’ve already made myself clear earlier-I don’t like Kiara." Timothy found them noisy as well.

He was beyond excited now, wanting nothing but to talk things out with Xan. He wanted to know if Xan truly liked him.

"What about her, then? She confessed to you too, so you should reject her outright as well!" Daphne demanded bossily. She thought that Kiara couldn’t be the only one embarrassed in public.

Kiara was also waiting for Timothy to reject Xan.

"Do I look like I have any intention of rejecting her? This has nothing to do with you!" Timothy replied angrily before pulling Xan away.

She followed along obediently before turning back to stare at Kiara and Daphne with cold eyes. They were both stunned, suddenly getting the chills.

"Don’t you dare to take what belongs to me," Xan threatened with a low voice.

Kiara gulped hard in fear.

However, Daphne was bold and angrily said, "What does that dimwit mean, Kiara? She’s provoking you! How can you tolerate that? I can’t do it. We have to teach her a lesson!"

"Forget about it, Daphne. Xandra is just a dimwit. I heard she’s even autistic," Kiara whispered softly.

"Timothy is just too much, Kiara. You confessed to him, yet he actually accepted a dimwit instead of you in front of everyone else. He’s clearly just trying to embarrass you!" her other friends egged on.

"If you ask me, Xandra isn’t even from some prestigious family. We should just teach her a lesson so that she doesn’t dare to go near Timothy anymore," Daphne softly suggested.

The few of them exchanged glances before nodding in agreement.

Dexter and Sophia felt nostalgic looking around the campus scenery in the parking lot.

"It’s so good to be young," Dexter whispered.

Sophia raised her brows. "Why? Are you planning to change into a younger body or find a younger wife?"

Alarmed, Dexter hurriedly waved his hand. "That’s not what I mean, Sophia."

Sophia clucked her tongue before glancing at her watch. "Why isn’t Xan here yet?"

Dexter turned to the direction of the cafeteria and saw Timothy taking Xan by her hand as they walked toward the nearby forest.

He gasped sharply before pulling Sophia into his embrace. He was worried that she might see them and get agitated-she might even try to kill Timothy then.

"What are you doing?" Sophia asked, looking at Dexter suspiciously.

"It’s nothing, I just wanted to hug you. If we had been born into ordinary families and met each other in university, do you think we would’ve been as carefree as these young people?" He hugged Sophia tightly, not letting her turn around.

Dexter only let out a relieved sigh once Timothy, Xan, and Zachary were out of his sight.

"Perhaps so..." Sophia leaned into his embrace and added, "But I don’t regret meeting you the way I did."

She and Dexter might not have met if they had been born into ordinary families.
