Transmigrating Into A Villain novel Chapter 40

Alina had a nightmare and woke up scared. When she opened her eyes and saw Sheffield's face in front of her, she let out a cry of horror.

"What are you doing? You scared the shit out of me!"

Hearing this, Sheffield's eyes flickered. He straightened up and looked away. "How did you find this place? What are you doing here?"

Alina stood up and said crossly, "I came here for you! Do you know I've been looking for you the whole morning! Let's go home. The car should still be waiting down the mountain." Then she turned around and walked away. After two steps, she found him didn't follow her. She turned back and said, "Go!"

However, Sheffield looked down and said stubbornly, "I'm not going back."

'I'm here to pick you up. What else do you want?' Of course, Alina only dared to say this in her heart.

"That's your home. If you don't go back there, where are you going? You can't stay here. Your mother must worry about her son having nowhere to go."

When Sheffield heard this, he glanced at the tombstone beside him, and his face clouded.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Alina continued in a soft voice, "Your mother must have been very fond of you since you were a child. If she knew that you were not living a good life, she must be very guilty. Aren't you willing to let her sleep in peace?"

A lot of memories flashed through Sheffield's mind. He recalled the days when his mother played with him and took care of him. He missed his mother all these years after she died.

If only she were here. If she were here, she would not have let him suffer any injustice and be detested by his father.

"In fact, your father is very worried about you. After you ran away, he sent all the servants to find you. If he can't find you today, he will definitely call the police immediately!"

Sheffield didn't believe her. After his mother passed away, when was his father kind to him?

"Believe it or not. I don't know if you have noticed Dad's emotion. When I told him that I was bullied, although he was angry, he spoke calmly. Later when you said that you were often bullied by others, Dad's face suddenly changed. He was furious, and couldn't be more agitated."

Really? Sheffield raised his head and glanced at Alina.

"I don't mean to be jealous of you. I just want to tell you that he cares more about you than you think," said Alina, looking at Sheffield sincerely.

"He treats you better!" Sheffield muttered.

Alina didn't catch what he said. "What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Having a look at the sun which was setting, Alina spoke in an exaggerated tone and bowed with hands clasped, "Mr. Sheffield, I've been looking for you for a long time. I'm so hungry that I can eat a bear. Could you please go back to have dinner with me?"

Sheffield was stunned for a moment, and then looked away awkwardly. "If you are hungry, you can go back. I don't stop you."

"Come on! If you don't go back, we don't even have a servant to cook! Please!"

In fact, Sheffield had calmed down, but he was too embarrassed to go back. After all, he ran away from home. Didn't he lose face if he ran away from home for half a day?

The boy was still young and didn't know how to conceal his emotion. Knowing what he was thinking, Alina took a step forward, grabbed his hand and left.

Sheffield tried to resist, but he was grasped more tightly by Alina, and then he obediently followed her and left.

Sensing his obedience, Alina, who was walking in front of him, rolled her eyes and thought to herself, 'If he were my own brother, I would have cursed him and dragged him away.'

The driver opened the back door for them when he saw that Alina came with Sheffield.

At the door of the car, Alina loosened her grip and pushed him into the car. Then she got in the car and said to the driver, "Go back."

Seeing her getting in, Sheffield quickly turned his head and moved inside.

As the driver started the car, he glanced at Sheffield from the rear-view mirror and said, "Young master, we are so worried about you. Luckily Miss Alaina found you."

Sheffield pursed his lips and looked out of the window without saying anything.

Feeling embarrassed, the driver coughed and drove carefully.

Sheffield sat on the left seat, and Alina took the right seat. There was a seat between them.

After driving for a while, Alina suddenly remembered something, "Oh, thank you for testifying for me this morning."

Hearing this, Sheffield raised his eyebrows. After a long time, he looked ahead and said, "I started it, so we're even."

They were even? Alina raised her eyebrows and thought, 'Well, you are the boss!'

After a short silence, Alina asked, "I hit them. Will the other two take revenge on you on Monday?"

Hearing this, Sheffield turned around and stared at Alina, asking, "How did you know there were two more people?"

Oh, no, it was a slip of the tongue!

"They said it themselves. Didn't you hear them?"

Alina was so serious and Sheffield hesitated for a moment. He then recalled the situation in his mind, and he was sure that Larry and Wayne had never mentioned it at all.

"I'm sure that they didn't say that! How did you know that? Were you following me?"

He guessed it. Alina was choked by her saliva, "Eh-hem... I wasn't following you!"

"Then how do you explain it?" Sheffield kept on talking about this problem.

"Actually... Here's the thing," said Alina. She thought for a while and soon came up with a reasonable explanation. "I have a classmate whose sister goes to the same school as you, and her sister told her about you being bullied. She told it to me once, and I remembered it. That's it."

Hearing this, Sheffield frowned. "Really?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm serious!"

Sheffield seemed to be convinced. Alina heaved a sigh of relief. If he knew she had followed him before, she had no idea how angry he would be.

Sheffield was taken back to the Xu Family by Alina. Seeing they come back together, Wendy put on a sullen face and ridiculed, "Aren't you running away from home? Why did you come back?"

Sheffield glared at her, "This is my home. I can come and go whenever I want. It's none of your business!"

Wendy rolled her eyes and said in disdain, "Spineless..."

Noticing the change of Sheffield's expression, Alina immediately interrupted her mother and walked up to her. She held her arm and said in a spoiled tone, "Mom, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"

Seeing the intimacy between Alina and Wendy, Sheffield's face darkened, and he turned sullenly away.

"Hungry? You deserve it! It's none of your business! He won't thank you!" Wendy scolded as she pointed her finger at Alina's forehead.

Alina covered her forehead with her hand and said, "It hurts. Be gentle!"

"How could I have a daughter like you? You don't speak for me, but always speak for others!"

Alina replied, "No! I'm always on Mom's side."

Wendy frowned and said seriously, "No kidding. Why didn't you tell me that you were bullied?"

"I'm sorry. I...I was just afraid that you would be worried. I thought I was fine anyway, so I didn't say it... I didn't expect their parents to be so shameless to come and make trouble!"

"You don't have to worry about this. Your father will handle it well. But as a girl, you have to be more careful in future. If anything happens, it will ruin you! Do you hear me?"

"Yes, I do," replied Alina. "You are right!"

By the time she remembered Sheffield, he was gone.

With a sullen face, Sheffield pushed open the door of his own room, and then kicked the door closed with his foot.

He was pissed off. He didn't understand why his father liked that woman?

She had an average look and a bad temper. She was duplicitous, sarcastic and vain. He detested her.

The more Sheffield thought about it, the angrier he became. At this time, his stomach sounded.

"Dong, Dong, Dong." There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" asked Sheffield, annoyed.

Alina put down her hand that was knocking on the door, "It's me. Dinner is ready. You can go downstairs to have dinner."

"I won't go!" At the thought that Alina was the daughter of that woman, Sheffield felt upset.

After hesitating for a while, Alina turned the door handle. The door was not locked, so she pushed it open.

She opened the door and saw Sheffield lying on the bed. She walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you? Let's go downstairs and have dinner!"

Sheffield turned his back to Alina and shouted, "Can't you hear me? I don't want to eat."

Staring at his back, Alina gnashed her teeth and thought to herself, 'Boy, are you mad again?

Eat it or not. It's up to you. I've been good enough to you. Don't push your luck!' She roared in her heart.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat? The cook has made scallion egg cakes, pepper salt spareribs and meatballs..." Before Alina finished her words, Sheffield's stomach sounded again.

Being annoyed and embarrassed, Sheffield shouted, "Get out!"

Alina tried not to laugh and said obediently, "Well, I'm going. Bye."

Hearing the door closed, Sheffield sat up from the bed. He patted his red face and grabbed the pillow to beat himself.

It was so humiliating!
