But Mateo, so wrapped up in his own ideas, just couldn't get it.
With a dramatic sigh, Mateo continued, his tone shifting to one of mock seriousness,
"You better not harm my moonlight, Miss Dawn. If I find out you've been talking badly about her or, worse, trying to hurt her in any way... I won't let you off easy. I'll make sure you regret it."
Aurora stood still for a moment, stunned by his nonsense.
She wanted to stop and slap him across the face for his arrogance, but she controlled herself.
Instead, she turned around slowly, her expression polite but cold.
"I'm going to say this again, Mateo. I said what I said because I want you to focus on your studies at Windsor University. I already have a boyfriend. I wasn't asking you to be my boyfriend at all."
Mateo's face froze for a second. He blinked, clearly confused by her words. But then, just like the self-absorbed person he was, he gave a knowing smile.
