Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 471 Astrid spun around , grabbed my head , and crushed her lips against mine . My eyes widened in shock . She kissed me like she meant it - eyes closed , body melting into mine , every movement charged with emotion . So her feelings were real after all . ' Wait , she's still this good at acting even with a knife to her throat ? And why does she attract so many idiots anyway ? ' I groaned inwardly . After what felt like forever , she broke the kiss and glared at Liam . " Do you believe me now ? " Liam's face twisted with rage . " You bastard ! " he shouted , swinging at me .

" Why is it always you ?! " I'd had enough . I dodged his punch and slammed my fist into his gut . He doubled over , clutching his stomach . " How dare you hit me ! I - I'll report this to the embassy ! We'll see what happens then ! " " Shut up , " I snapped , pulling out my phone . " You're in my country . You follow our laws and our rules . Now get out of my sight before I call the cops . " Panic flickered across his face . "Just you wait ! I won't give up on you , Astrid ! " he spat , scrambling up and disappearing into the night . Astrid exhaled heavily . " God , he's insane .

I don't even want to think about what he might've done if you weren't here . I need to move - tonight . " I nodded . " Go home for now . I'll have my people find you a new place tomorrow . " " Thank you , Sebastian , " she said , nodding before leading me back inside . Then she suddenly froze , an idea flashing in her eyes . " Wait - why didn't you offer to let me stay with you guys ? " she demanded . " What? " I blinked . " I knew it ! You think I'll get between you and Cici , don't you ? Well , for your information , Cici's the one who asked me to keep an eye on you !

If it weren't for her , I wouldn't even ' want ' to stay with you ! " she snapped , glaring at me before storming upstairs . By the time I followed her , she was nearly done packing . It wasn't much , just enough for a few days . " Let me help , " I said , reaching for her bag . She handed me a wet tissue instead . No. I've got it . You should wipe my lipstick off your mouth , " she said coldly . " And for the record , I didn't mean what I said . I only did that to get Liam off my back . I don't like you . " She brushed past me and headed downstairs . I stood there frozen .

Then almost on instinct Twiped my lips . The tissue came away streaked with red . I stared at it , still dazed . Why was she angry at me all of a sudden ?
