Chapter 12- Independent

" Are you... waiting for someone?" Fredrick asked as he revealed a more enchanting smile.

Delilah's heart skipped two beats," A-Actually no, I'm walking home…", Delilah answered with a goofy smile.

Thank you grandma, this is a one in a million opportunity for her to be with Fredrick. Though they sit together, Fredrick doesn't talk to her at all.

" Well, may I help you with a taxi then?" she heard Fredrick's request.

" No… no, I am fine. I want to be independent… I'll surely walk home", Delilah replied with a cute, determined expression.

It was a good thing grandma insisted her father let her relocate to D city. Her grandmother intends to live a common man's life, but she stays in a duplex!? Well, it was located in a peaceful neighborhood with friendly people rather than an estate with no people at all, either with smiling faces or friendly behaviors.

" Are you alright Delilah?" Fredrick frowned slightly when the girl looked lost in thoughts.

" Yep! As I was saying, I want to be independent, and I also would like to rely on myself", she nodded.

Fredrick burst into a round of laughter.

" What is funny?", Delilah look confused.

" Okay! Firstly, you want to be independent, right?" Fredrick asked.

" Yes", Delilah nodded.

" But, you do not have an umbrella or a raincoat, then in the rain you're planning to walk home…"

" Yes, but in my defense, I had an umbrella, but I lent it to a friend"

" You gave out your umbrella... to... someone…"  Fredrick was dumbstruck.

Fredrick:" … "

How does this girl's brain works, she gave out her umbrella, then she walks home soaked from the rain. Is that kindness or foolishness?

Fredrick didn't say anymore, he stopped a taxi and shoved Delilah into the car, no matter how much she refused, he paid the taxi and didn't leave until the taxi disappeared from his sight.

Before he left, a mysterious smile marked Fredrick's lips as he watched the taxi move away. The cryptic smile and aura made him look like a different person
