NovelEnglishFalling In Love With Him – Her First Love
Chapter 224 - Confused, Jumbled FeelingsHunter was finishing his assignment due for tomorrow when his phone vibrated against the table. He grabbed it without wasting a second more because he had been waiting for that reply. A smile sneaked across his lips when he saw the name, Goddess.
Hunter frowned at the question though he was expecting it. It wasn't hard to notice his absence on the dais, so it shouldn't surprise him that Hera caught on to it. He wanted to tell her the real reason but then thought of the cold war between them. One of his eyebrows arched up, and he smirked.. He could hear her authoritative tone in that message.
He typed and sent it. Leaning his back against the wooden chair, he lifted his right foot to rest it on the spindle. Propping his elbow on his thigh, he stared at the phone in his hand and waited for the fiery reply he knew would arrive soon. A few seconds later, the screen of his expensive device lit up, and the vibrating sensation passed through his fingers and palm.
Hera couldn't resist the bitterness sinking its clutches into her heart. She couldn't get rid of the unpleasant images of him carrying Adelaide in his arms. She couldn't believe he was playing with her. She wished he was in front of her. If only she could dig the tip of her nails into his skin.

Hunter clicked his tongue and shook his head, not at all impressed by the question. He could envision her spatting those words at him and shooting daggers with her large forest green eyes. Pushing the chair back, Hunter got up only to slump on his bed. Rolling onto his stomach, he typed his answer.
Hera stared at his messages with her narrowed eyes while grinding her teeth in annoyance.
Pulling the blanket over her legs, Hera crossed her arms and threw her head back, eyeing the ceiling. She no longer felt the need to respond to his messages, but the phone kept vibrating against her thigh.
Cursing a string of swear words in her mind, Hera read the message.
Hera threw his words back at him and smirked in satisfaction, knowing it would annoy him more. Hunter scowled and threw his head back, grunting his anger out. He exhaled through his nose and shook his head, trying to curb his budding anger.
Devil:
Yes, Goddess, I think so. I thought we were having a moment, and as usual, you had to ruin it.
Hera bit the inside of her cheek. His words stung more than they should. Furiously she typed her reply, thumb tapping the keyboard with much more aggression.
It irked Hera more that he was pretending to be ignorant, and Hunter was annoyed that she was beating around the bush.

The sarcasm in his message only intensified her anger, but before she could touch the reply window, the phone started ringing, flashing Hunter's face on the screen. Startled, Hera declined the call without thinking. It was more of a reflex action. She was confused and panicked for some reason.
Hera cursed in frustration and frowned at the dark screen of her phone. She knew she couldn't ignore him forever, and the phrase even sounded stupider in her mind.
She nodded with determination and took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves.
A few minutes later, her phone lit up again, and another message popped in.
Hera knew that tone very well, so it was no surprise that Hunter was mad. The messages kept coming in, and Hera's lips jutted out in a sad pout. She was upset that he was fighting with her even through the text messages. She shook her head, pulling her upper lip between her teeth.
Another message cut straight to the point, and the salty water blurred Hera's vision.
That was the big fat elephant in the room. Hera was confused with her jumbled feelings. She thought she trusted him, but Clara was so convincing and adding more to her dilemma, Adelaide planted doubts in her mind. She was so afraid of the thought of Hunter cheating on her. Hera closed her eyes, and the tears spilt out in a rush.
The image of Adelaide mouthing surprise flashed behind her eyelids. She saw how the girl smirked at her while wrapping her arms around his neck.
Hera recalled everything Clara said, her brain analysing every possibility.
