Ice and Fire novel Chapter 928

"An hour ago," Aria replied, her eyes still on the screen. "Your dinner is in the fridge. I've already eaten."

"I'm not hungry," Lawrence replied. He got up from the sofa and retreated to the bedroom.

Aria finally noticed Lawrence's hunched figure and her heart could not help but ache. She knew she had been sulky and indifferent the past few days but he was different today. He didn't even make any attempt to romance her. She didn't know what to do about it.

Aria sat straight and lowered the volume on the TV. She had her eyes fixed on the bedroom. The door was open and she could hear water running. 'He's probably taking a shower, ' she thought.

'I do love you, Lawrence. You still have my heart, ' she cried to herself, her hand clutched to her heart.

Inside the bathroom, Lawrence stood under the shower and let the water spray his face and down his entire body. The water flowed down from his hair down his cheeks to his broad shoulders and his muscular chest. He didn't notice the water as he stared straight ahead.'Although I am in an awkward situation, I will face everything bravely, ' he mediated. 'I got soaked in the rainstorm. But getting flooded and soaked with problems is a different feeling. But it's okay, I will face them head-on, ' Lawrence promised himself.

He let the water flow down his entire body for a few more minutes before he reached for the knob and turned off the water. He grabbed his towel to dry off.

He stepped out of the bathroom and could still hear the faint sounds of the TV in the living room. He knew Aria was still watching. And meanwhile, his girlfriend knew that he was just done with the shower.

Lawrence placed the damp towel on the chair and changed into his sleep clothes. He turned off the ceiling light and turned on the dim wall light instead. The dim light helped him sleep better.

He laid on the bed on his back and stared up at the ceiling. He felt his eyes begin to droop and turned to his side to sleep.

Aria noticed the dim light in the bedroom and she knew Lawrence was about to go to sleep. She was a little annoyed that he didn't even bid her good night. She turned down the volume on the TV until she couldn't hear any noise from it.

Aria couldn't focus on what she was watching anymore. Lawrence was simply in her mind. She suddenly regretted what she did to him and wondered if she had broken his heart. He had been doing what he could to be gentle to her and please her but she kept pushing him away. She sulked because his old lover was back and he was treating her well. Now, Anna was in her mind and the insecurity came back. 'I am no match for her. How could I ever compete with her for Lawrence's heart?' she asked herself inside again and again.

She remembered the time when she and Lawrence met. He was on a blind date with Mary. And she tried to ruin the date. His date with Mary, who was a high-born lady, who came from a powerful family. 'She stood a chance against Anna. It's not fair that girls like them are the only ones fit to be matched with men like Lawrence, ' she complained to herself. 'Only rich girls could ever be with him. That's the truth, right?' she asked herself.
