All Chapters of The Rebirth of the Author: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ayleen nodded without looking at the girl. “Yes, Nat. I’m going home with him.”After saying that, Ayleen hurriedly gathered a few of her belongings that were still on the table. Since her bitter coffee was already finished, she no longer paid any attention. “All right, I’m leaving now!” Ayleen said as she quickly stood up, eager to leave the café. But suddenly, Natasha also stood up and grabbed her bag in a hurry.“Wait a minute, Ayleen!” Natasha said, and in a flash she was standing right next to Ayleen.“Come on!” Natasha added, leaving Ayleen a bit confused.Ayleen furrowed her brow, “What do you mean, ‘come on,’ Nat?”“Well, the three of us are going home,” Natasha said enthusiastically, which instantly made Ayleen feel very uncomfortable. Just as Natasha was about to touch her hand, Ayleen quickly pulled away and said, “Uh, sorry. I … I don’t think I can go home with you.”“Why not? My house is on the way to yours,” Natasha said softly, sounding very disappointed.Ayleen rea

Hearing her mother’s blunt question, Ayleen immediately started coughing. Rafael hurriedly fetched a glass of water for his daughter.As Ayleen began to sip the water slowly, Rafael and Clara exchanged glances before turning to look at their daughter with meaningful expressions.Ayleen’s parents waited in silence for an answer to their earlier question. Ayleen, who was starting to regain control of her surprise, cleared her throat a few times. With a look of utter astonishment on her face, she replied, “Mom, you saw him just now, didn’t you?”Clara quickly nodded and smiled meaningfully, “He … looks really handsome.”Ayleen rolled her eyes listlessly, especially when she heard her father chuckle. Ah, actually, her mother wasn’t wrong in her assessment. Sea was indeed extraordinarily handsome. There was no denying it. In the future, he would make millions of women fall head over heels for him, and it was clearly because he had a face that easily captivated others.“How could you te

Ah, to be honest, Ayleen didn’t want to break her friend’s heart with her words, but she thought it would be much better if Jasper didn’t get his hopes up about Natasha. She really didn’t want her best friend to be deeply disappointed, so Ayleen chose to be harsh and said, “Jasper, I don’t think you stand a chance.”Jasper immediately turned to his best friend and narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean by that? You don’t want to introduce her to me any further, do you, Leen?”Ayleen shook her head quickly and, without beating around the bush or hiding even the slightest detail, she said honestly, “She has a crush on someone else, Jas.”“Has a crush on who, Leen? Uh … but she just started having a crush; it doesn’t necessarily mean she—”“She’s serious, Jas. A girl like her wouldn’t mess around if she wants something. She … will try really hard to get it,” Ayleen explained, who knew Natasha’s personality well. Jasper raised his eyebrows and looked at his best friend in surprise, “You’r

Sea Finley saw tears streaming down the girl’s face. His eyes widened in surprise.“Hey, you-”“I’m fine,” Ayleen said, quickly cutting him off.To be honest, she wanted to get out of the mall as soon as possible. She really didn’t want to run into anyone while she was in such a mess, especially Sea Finley. Running into a guy like Sea would only make things harder for her, because she knew he was the kind of person who could read the situation around him. She didn’t want Sea to make assumptions about what she was going through, so the best thing she could do was get away from him as quickly as possible.However, just a few seconds later, she heard someone call out to her from behind, “Hey.”Sea, who was still holding Ayleen’s hand, immediately turned to look at the person who seemed to be calling out to the young girl standing in front of him. Ayleen wanted to pull Sea’s hand away from her arm, but she was powerless to do so. She was worried that if she acted rashly, Sea would bec

Ayleen frowned. No matter how hard she thought, she still couldn't figure out what she had done that might have offended Sea.Confused, she scratched her head even though it didn't itch.Watching her reaction, Sea let out a weary sigh. "Forget it. Don't apologize if you don't even know what you're apologizing for.""B-But, I-""It's already late. You should head home."Ayleen blinked in surprise at how quickly Sea cut her off before she could even finish speaking.'Huh ... He's really strange! Why can't he just tell me what I did wrong?' Ayleen thought, growing irritated by Sea's unreasonable attitude."Hey, why are you still standing there? Didn't you say you had an assignment you needed to finish?" Sea asked seriously.Ayleen swallowed hard. Still annoyed, she finally replied, "Hm ... you're right.""I'll head home now, and ... once again, thank you for tonight."In truth, Ayleen felt terribly embarrassed after being rescued by him over and over again.Sea Finley simply rolled his e
