Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1053 Her Knight

Cody gently came near her, took her schoolbag and slung it across his shoulder and carried it for her.

Noticing that there were a lot of girls swooning over Cody, Sally tilted her head towards Chloe and suggested, “Hey, let’s grab some dinner. It’s on me!”

“I’ll pass. I would rather not disturb the knight escorting his princess!”

Chloe stood up and glanced at Cody. He had his eyes intensely fixed on Sally. She smiled and patted her friend on the shoulder. “I’m leaving now. Talk to you later.”

Sally had no choice then but to leave with just Cody.

On their way home, he looked at her in the passenger’s seat next to him and reached out a hand to hold hers. “Are you ok? You don’t seem to be in a good mood. What if I don’t take you home now, and we go for a walk instead?”

Removing her hand from under his, Sally looked straight at the road ahead and asked, “Cody, could you please not be so kind to me all the time?”

Cody had a faint smile on his lips but said nothing. He had been by her side since they were children. No matter how mad she was, he would always be there for her, not thinking twice about the consequences.

He glanced at her and continued as if she had agreed with his idea, “Well, we can go to the amusement park first, and then I’ll take you to dinner before I drive you home.”

Sally kept looking straight ahead and didn’t say another word.

Once they got to the amusement park, Cody encouraged her to try all kinds of games and attractions that he could find to distract her.

“Are you feeling any better? If you’re not, we can play something else…”

Cody suggested. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper after he got out of a roller coaster. Heights weren’t his strong suit, yet he still joined her without looking back.

Stepping out of the train, Sally closed the distance between them and hugged Cody affectionately.

“Cody, please don’t be so nice to me,” she pleaded with tears in her eyes. She held him tightly as she released all the pent-up frustration in her heart.

The better he treated her, the guiltier she felt.

Cody hugged her back and, while stroking her hair, he gently said, “Hey, don’t talk like that. I’m good to you because I want to. No one is forcing me to

eved it was powerful enough to overcome anything.

How wrong she had been.

Reality was far more complex than what she had envisioned.

Up until this moment, she had never understood how much trouble and pressure her childishness had inflicted on Sean.

All of a sudden, the loud slam of a door outside brought her back to her senses.

She froze for a second before standing up in a hurry. Quickly, she reached the door handle and went outside.

On the corridor, she spotted Sean as he left the room next to hers. He seemed relaxed with his army green T-shirt and slippers on, and his hair was wet.

“Uncle Sean, you’re here!”

At that moment, when Sally saw him, she couldn’t help but have a wide smile on her face while she ran to him excitedly. However, before she jumped into his arms like she usually did, she remembered Cody’s words and stood still, allowing a safe distance between them.

It wasn’t such a surprise that he was there, though. This was also his home, and he occasionally came back from the army base.

When Sean heard her coming, he briefly stopped and nodded at her. Then, he carried on and headed towards Terence’s study in order to get himself a book.

Sally followed him and closed the door behind her. There was more that she wanted to say, but she didn’t know how to start. After a while, she finally mustered enough strength to speak, “Uncle Sean, the last time… I just want to say I’m sorry. I was too selfish.

Anyway… How was your proposal?”

She asked, her voice trembling.
