Pursuing Her

Chapter 113 Feeling Smug

“Sophie, are you all right? I’m sorry. It was all my fault. If I hadn’t asked you to carry out the experiment at the lab, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Bailey felt a pang of guilt. However, there was no use wallowing in guilt, as he could not change what had happened.

Sophie sat up. The sun was so bright that she squinted in response.

“You’ve done nothing wrong. This has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry. No matter what they demand, you still have me around to back you up.”

Bailey was surprised. He was there to soothe Sophie, and he certainly did not expect that she would say something like that. He could not help but wonder if the girl had somehow mistaken her role in the matter.

“Bailey, I would really like to ask you a question now. Why did you remove your jacket? You were only doing an experiment in the laboratory anyway. Do you know you’re confusing other people that way?” Even though Bailey was handsome, Ysabelle was not charmed, as he had been a nuisance to Sophie.

Sophie only wishes to live an uneventful and normal high school life. Is that really too much to ask? Why do these people keep hounding her?

“I…” Bailey found himself suddenly at a loss for words. “I’m sorry.”

That was the only sentence that he could bring himself to say right then.

“I’ve said that you have nothing to do with this. What’s with the injuries on your body?”

She reckoned that not many would dare to provoke Bailey at Jipsdale Premier High.

“Yeah. Why are you hurt?” Ysabelle chimed in.

“Nothing. I just taught a few guys a lesson for not watching their tongue.”

Ysabelle felt her hostility toward Bailey melting away as he said that.
