Chapter 3 Childish

• Serry gasped for breath at the painful sight. Her watery retina turned to her alpha, questioningly. The Omega was filled with disbelief because her soul mate didn't wear their binding ring. It's easy to leave things that should be taken care of. It was as if the ring were worth nothing. Noticing her bleary stare, Addy suddenly looked back at her with a deep frown on his firm brow.
• “Why don't you have our engagement ring on your finger? Did you let it go purposely?” Serry spoke softly, and her voice was hoarse.
• While Addy looks normal when Omega in front of him asks where their engagement ring is. The man quickly looked at his ring finger with a flat gaze.
• “I forgot where I put the ring. If I'm not mistaken, I left it in the public bathroom sink, and I might have forgotten to leave it there.” Addy answered the angry woman in front of him while clutching his chest in a relaxed manner.
• Serry clenched the hem of her shirt when she heard her Alpha speak so easily. “Are you certain that's your reason, Addy? Honestly, if you really don't want to seem attached to me!” cried Serry emotionally.
• The Omega sucked in as her Alpha stared at her coldly. However, this time something was stored in the blue retina as deep as the ocean, and she could obviously see it. Apart from the chunks of ice, there was a spark of anger there. Apparently, her sarcasm had made the Alpha angry.
• “I just forgot to put it back on when I put it on the sink, so why are you overreacting like this, Serry Benson?” Addy screamed until his voice echoed through the silent business lab room. “How old are you for such a trivial matter to be brought up? How childish!”
• Serry looked down deeply at her Alpha's scream. Those cold and emphatic words managed to make her heart ache a lot. The fragile Omega closed her eyes as she squeezed her ten fingers. She let the tears that had been building up in her eyes fall down her cheeks. She was in pain at the blatant reproach and anger of her alpha.
• “Yes. I was childish because I was afraid that you would take off our engagement ring. The ring should be guarded carefully because the ring is a symbol that has the meaning of our binding,” explained Serry.
• “Hmm,” Addy mumbled.
• “Is that how worthless I am in your eyes, Addy? so that you let go of our binding ring so easily?” Serry felt weak and breathless after releasing her restlessness.
• Addy's jaw tightened in tension, as did his unfriendly gaze staring at the floor he was stepping on. Serry guessed that Addy was furious right now. Maybe Alpha was offended by Omega's words. Serry knows very well that her Alpha character is temperamental.
• “When it's done, I'll go.” Addy stood up from his seat. However, his steps were stopped when his strong arms were held by Serry's tiny hands.
• “Where are you going?” Omega's face was already filled with tears. However, her hands quickly wiped away the tears on her swollen face.
• Addy paid no heed to Omega's question and slapped the hand away from his stout arm. However, Serry immediately stepped forward to block Alpha's move.
• “I'm sorry, Addy. Please, don't be angry like this. My heart hurts as well as the Omega inside me, who is now crying sadly. It's better if you speak coldly and ignore me than get angry like this.”
• “I am not angry. So, get out of my sight. Right now!” Addy shouted angrily.
• “I'm sorry if my question offended you. I'm just afraid you took off our engagement ring on purpose. I won't ask again if you don't like it. But can you stay with me a little longer?” said Serry pleadingly.
• “Yes. That's what I want. Next time, don't ask about small things because I don't like them. And now I'm rushing because I have to work. Can you understand how busy I am, Serry Benson?”
• Serry bit her lower lip back at that answer. She felt that her chest cavity was getting tighter now. She knew that Addy had more than one odd job after class ended. That's why Alpha is always busy, every day, until their time together becomes limited.
• However, can Addy understand herself as well at this time? Can the Alpha read what she feels—that she wants to spend time together out of longing because they haven't seen each other for a long time.
• Can't Addy give up his job for herself, like what other Alphas do for their mates?
• “But, I still miss you and want to spend more time with you. I also made a lot of food for you.”
• “I can't neglect my job because it's been three days since I've been absent from work. And for that food, you just eat it because I'm not hungry.”
• Serry snorted at those words. Addy turned to stare, while her watery retina stared at her in silence. She wanted Addy to know if the rejection he gave her for the umpteenth time had really hurt her and made the scratches in her heart deeper. Omega was silent as Addy pushed her arm around the man's wrist without hesitation.
• She was only silent when suddenly her Alpha lowered his head slightly to kiss her forehead, before hastily removing the long black coat he was wearing. When Addy was about to sling the coat over her shoulders, she intended to refuse. However, her body, which seemed powerless, turned to ice. So, she let Addy sling his coat over her trembling little shoulders.
• “Put that coat on. if you would rather not be cold,” Addy said.
• The Alpha passed through Serry's body. Leaving Omega alone with the deafening thud of the business lab room door Serry shifted her body, which felt powerless in the chair, while staring blankly at the floor.
• A few seconds later, heart-wrenching cries were heard in every corner of the business lab. Serry sobbed loudly, not hesitating to cry to vent her hurt feelings. She couldn't stand the pain she was in alone.
• Her breath hitched painfully, as did her chest, which rose and fell irregularly. Omega turned to stand up from her seat and stepped hastily towards the table where her homemade food was stored. Serry didn't hesitate to throw her lunch box on the floor, so the contents scattered there. There's no point in making the food with great effort, even though eventually the Alpha will refuse it again and again.
• Serry looked at the food with her sobs and then slumped on the floor. In the next second, the Omega was hugging her knees with her head sunk there. Omega cursed herself for not being able to hate Addy at all, even though the Alpha continued to add to the wound in her heart.
