Chapter-172

—----------------

Jinwoo looked back as he saw Anne following him with her trembling legs While trying to catch her breath, he couldn't understand why she didnt rest and continued to follow

'She got guts' Jinwoo inwardly said in his mind after seeing her running even though she was really out of breath still trying to keep up with her 

Jinwoo sped up as he tried to leave her behind and since he thought that instead of keeping up with him, she rested and caught her breath 

And it happened as he predicted because when she sped up, Anne was not able to speed up as she could only see Jinwoo speeding up leaving her behind in the dust

Seeing him speeding up she immediately realised that it was impossible to catch him and she finally gave up trying to keep up with him then collapsed on the ground

"What are you doing? My stupid granddaughter!" an old lady spoke from behind Anne as anyone could see the disappointed Look on her face 

From the beginning even though she did not leave at all instead she hid nearby seeing both of them at a distance because she did not trust her granddaughter at all in this matter

But unknowingly to her, she was only hiding from her as Jinwoo already knew that she was secretly observing them 

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Anne couldn't help but ask this in frustration as she didnt understand what she did wrong and why her grandmother looked at her with disappointed eyes

"Why can't I see any progress between you and that young man?" the old lady asked with a sharp Tone as she looked at her with sharp eyes 

"It's not my fault!" Anne quickly replied to her grandmother with denial as she thinks she did not do anything wrong at all, especially compared to day-old dates, she really feels she Didnt do anything which made her confused as to why her grandmother was disappointed 

"Oh, then whose fault is it that the Young man ran away from you?" An old lady asked this question with a questionable tone as she did not believe her granddaughter at all

The old lady was away from them at a distance which is why even though she could see them but she couldn't hear their conversation which is the reason she thinks that her granddaughter is the one who is responsible for Man Jinwoo running away

She thinks this because she remembered how her granddaughter treated her on all blind date Partners, She previously thought that this time might be different because the old lady previously thought that the appearance of Jinwoo might capture the heart of her little kid 

But the old lady thinks her granddaughter still has that bad personality even after meeting such an outstanding man like Jinwoo which is probably why Jinwoo ran away like her granddaughter's other blind dates

Pityfully Anne has already become the one who is at fault in her grandmother's mind instead of listening to her granddaughter at all

Anne couldn't help but hold back her tears seeing her grandmother wasn't listening to her but also she was taking the side of an outsider, and now she dont know how she could prove her innocence to her grandmother now

*Sigh*

Grandmother finally releases a tired sigh while she looks at her granddaughter with Pitiful eyes thinking how hopeless her granddaughter is and if this keeps up then the Old lady thinks her granddaughter will die without leaving offspring 

"Let's go back," the old lady said to Anne since at this moment staying here would be worthless The old lady knows Jinwoo must have gone back which is the reason she thinks staying here won't help her granddaughter at all as the old lady began to walk away

Anne couldn't help but be overjoyed hearing this since she wanna go back home too because she had never been a morning person at all

She only woke up early today because of the promise she made to her grandmother otherwise she would be sleeping Even now back at her house

With excitement, she tried to stand as it was difficult because her legs weren't in the best condition right now but because she had rested for some time as well as was eager to go back, she stood back on her feet 

"Also after getting home, I will be teaching you again today" The old lady who was walking away turned her Head around and spoke this with a dominating Serious Tone

'Yes ma'am…" Anne could only respond with a depressing tone as she obeyed her grandmother while fearing what would come back home

…..

After half an hour…

Jinwko returned home directly after his running target was complete, He didnt bother to go back to see how Anne was doing since he knew her Grandmother was there to take care of her 

Not to mention Jinwoo knows she isn't normal Like other humans, she has power even though Anne doesn't know about it still knows that power is gonna help her one way or another

He just hoped that her hidden power wouldn't attract any being that would ruin her normal life since Jinwoo understood the value of that life 

"meow~" As soon as he entered the house he was created by the Kuroka who was in her cat form even though for now she didn't need to be in that Form because at this moment Aria was in her room sleeping 

"You looking handsome ever~," Kuroka said this in her flirting tone as she began to change from revealing her true body 

Jinwoo ignored as he was already used to her behaviour by now and knew if he kept it quiet then she gonna stop

"Ara~ you know no girl will like you if you have such a boring attitude~" Kuroka spoke this as she came near Him with slow steps
