Chapter 218 You’re Annoying

Leslie’s POV

That burning gaze across the table left me restless and irritable.

I glanced up instinctively, only to find Kirby staring straight at me, his eyes softened with a gentle smile.

What was he smiling at? What game was he playing this time?

My appetite vanished. I set down my knife and fork, shot him a vicious glare, and rolled my eyes hard.

But instead of being angered, his smile only deepened.

I was about to explode.

Turning to my father, I said at once, “Dad, I just remembered I promised Astrid I’d meet her. I have to go.”

Father nodded. “Alright, go on.

I smiled politely in farewell. “Goodbye, Father. Goodbye, Lord Marcus.” With that, I gathered my things and left without a backward glance.

I hadn’t gone far before Kirby followed.

“Leslie…”

I turned, exasperated, my brows knitted. “Lord Alpha, what else is it?”

My voice was cold as ice, keeping him at a distance. But he only faltered for a breath before closing the space step by step, steady yet with a subtle force that pressed in.

He held his emotions tight, his tone calm but firm. “Your father said we should interact normally. You should listen.”

I froze, then frowned. “That’s not what he meant-

“What did I mean then?” Kirby’s lips curved, a flicker of mockery in his eyes.

I stumbled, “How should I know what you mean!”

Before I could react, my phone slipped from my hand. In a blink, he had taken it, his long fingers flying over the screen. He pulled his contact out of my blacklist.

“Don’t block me again,” he said with shameless certainty, even a hint of roguishness. “If you do, I’ll tell your father.”

Snatching my phone back, I glanced at the screen–and nearly choked with rage.

He had changed his contact name to-

Savior!

The sheer audacity of this man was unbelievable!

Did he think this would make me too embarrassed to delete him?

I didn’t waste another word. I spun around and stormed off, my steps quick and clipped, desperate to escape this suffocating conversation.

But Kirby followed at an easy pace, shadowing me step for step.

When I quickened, so did he. When I slowed, he slowed too–an unspoken vow that he wouldn’t let go.

At the villa gate, his voice came low, tinged with cautious hope. “Leslie, let me teach you how to swim.”

Kirby’s POV

I watched her retreating figure, carefully voicing the offer I had turned over in my mind for days.

I thought it would be a gentle gesture, a way to ease her fear of deep water.

But the moment the words left me, Leslie stopped in her tracks. She turned her head, her eyes cutting through me. “No need.”

“Hm? Why don’t you want to learn?” I stepped forward, meeting her gaze.

Her blue dress tonight was beautiful–maybe I could try complimenting her.

As I searched for the right words, she spoke first.

“No reason. I just don’t want to have anything to do with you.” The words were sharp, merciless.

“Leslie…” I called softly, my voice heavy with sorrow.

But she spun around, her apricot eyes cold as frost, lips curled in scorn. An aura of icy hostility radiated from her, chilling to the bone.

“Alpha,” she said, each word squeezed out between her teeth, her voice utterly devoid of warmth. “Do you know how annoying you are?”
