My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

After the morning assembly, all kindergarten teachers, including Adrianna, entered their respective classrooms to teach the children. For Adrianna, this was her world. Learning while playing with the children was so enjoyable that she felt grateful for their cheerfulness.

From the smiles and laughter of her students, Adrianna momentarily forgot about her dealings with Sam, who was genuinely testing her patience.

“Miss Adrianna, please sing a song with us again today,” one of her students, Jackson, said. Adrianna was originally planning to end the class session without singing again.

Her energy was almost depleted as all their activities were enthusiastically done. Coloring the alphabet, themed drawings, and singing together. And now?

“Singing again?”

“Yes, Miss!” they all exclaimed happily. It made Adrianna’s smile grow even brighter.

“Alright, one more song!”

“Yay!!!”

Everyone sang joyfully, swaying their shoulders and bodies with the song. Adrianna did the same. Until, one by one, they all left the room. They said goodbye to Adrianna, shaking her hand.

Adrianna sighed softly, not wanting the smile on her face to fade. After making sure nothing was left behind, she left the room. But to her surprise, she found Sam near the door of the Sun classroom where Adrianna taught.

“What do you want, sir?” Adrianna asked with a suspicious look.

“Huh? Did I mistake a student for their teacher?”

Adrianna still didn’t want to let her guard down. While teaching at this kindergarten, she had never seen Sam come down to check how the teachers conducted their classes. His interaction with the students here could have been more extensive. That’s why Adrianna was surprised and wondered how Sam managed to leave his principal’s office throne.

“Don’t give me that look,” Sam said with a slight cough. “You’re making me nervous.”

Adrianna’s brow furrowed. Unconsciously, she said, “You’re such a weird man!”

Which reached Sam’s ears. “Me? A weird man? You’re the weird one, Ly!”

“Me?” Adrianna pointed at herself, looking surprised. “What’s weird about me? You’re the weird one!”

“I was going to pick you up earlier. But you refused. You chose to ride your motorcycle. Even though my intention was good, as a gesture of gratitude for letting me hitch a ride with you yesterday.”

Adrianna scoffed. Then she hugged her folder tightly. She hurriedly walked away from Sam, who still seemed like he wanted to talk. Who cares! Adrianna didn’t care. Speaking to Sam made her thoughts scatter in all directions.

“Adrianna,” Sam called a little louder. “Wait for me!”

“What now?” Adrianna grumbled, but she tried not to look at Sam. She knew he was following her. So Adrianna quickened her pace. If she could run, she would have done it already.

But if she ran… it would feel strange.

“Adrianna, I want to talk.”

Oh… Screw it! This time, Adrianna chose just to run!

“Wow, she’s running?” Sam exclaimed in disbelief. He wanted a proper conversation with the girl, but she avoided him. Creating distance as if he were a virus to be avoided. And now she was running.

Wasn’t she afraid of slipping because of her shoes? Ah, Damn it! It was these thoughts that made Sam also start running.

“Watch out, Adrianna!”

“Aaaaaahhh!!!”

Is there such a thing as a squared embarrassment? Oh… There is. That’s what Adrianna is feeling right now. She can’t even lift her eyes due to the overwhelming shame. Her face must be turning as red as a rotten tomato.

“How long am I supposed to support you like this?”

Oh… Why did Sam have to speak? He might find out that Adrianna is being humiliated! And why is Sam chasing after her anyway? He’s like a maniac. What does Samuel want from her? Doesn’t he have any activities in his classroom that he has to be at the door of the class where Adrianna is teaching?

“Adrianna?” Sam called once again. “Are you okay?”

Adrianna remained silent.

Sam let out a soft sigh. It’s not that he didn’t want to hug Adrianna like this. Throughout yesterday, his mind was filled with thoughts of Adrianna. Trying to find a way to have a conversation with her. But… Not like this, right?

What if someone sees them? Oh my god! They could be dragged to the nearest chapel for an immediate wedding!

“You enjoyed hugging me, huh?”

“Ugh!!!” Adrianna immediately let go of the hug. She pushed Samuel with the remaining energy she had. “No, I don’t! Not at all!” Adrianna retorted with a glare of disbelief.

“I was helping you, and you pushed me away. If you were far, you could have sprained your foot.”

Adrianna cleared her throat nervously.

“As a token of gratitude, let’s have a meal together after I finish teaching.”

“Huh?” Adrianna widened her eyes. When did Sam become sensible? In his classroom, he seemed like a workaholic. And now?

“Don’t give me that expression. I helped you. I’m asking for my payment.”

“What are you talking about?!” Adrianna couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Seriously! She needed to label Sam as abnormal, her school principal.

“There is. It just happened.” Sam patted Adrianna’s shoulder gently. He mischievously winked at the still-shocked girl. Finally, Sam found a way to get Adrianna to sit with him. And what was the reason he had been bothering about all night?

“Why don’t you try to get closer and befriend him? You’re coworkers, so you naturally meet every day. Don’t you feel awkward or uncomfortable whenever you meet him?” Chloe suggested, trying to persuade Adrianna. “You always argue with each other.”

Adrianna scoffed in disagreement. Talking to Chloe when her mind wasn’t focused like this only made her more irritated. Especially since Chloe seemed to be supportive of her and Sam getting closer.

Adrianna managed to avoid Sam in the end. She didn’t respond to any of Sam’s peculiar remarks. Adrianna chose to flee as fast as she could. Not because she didn’t want to talk to Sam for too long, but because she was afraid of being seen and alone with Sam. What would people think of her in this school?

It was clear to others that Adrianna despised Sam to the core. She couldn’t afford to be caught conversing with him, especially when she remembered the incident that almost caused her foot to be injured.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!

“Adrianna?” Chloe’s voice came again.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear you. I don’t want to follow any of your suggestions. I don’t want to hear anything more about Sam’s existence from you,” Adrianna replied curtly. “Like there’s nothing more important for me to think about!”

On the other end, Chloe chuckled. Chloe had warned Adrianna not to hate too much, as it could turn into affection for Sam. As the saying goes, love and hate go hand in hand. It’s not good to go overboard, as it might backfire, and she could end up liking him.

Does that make sense? Well, certainly not to Adrianna! She would not fall in love with someone as annoying as Sam.

Never!

“Well, you should evaluate and think for yourself, Sa. Why should I be friends with that troublemaker? Being friends with him would waste my time. It’s not beneficial for me, right?” Adrianna concluded, exhaling harshly. Honestly, she was tired of explaining her feelings to Sam. Because Adrianna, she had no feelings for him other than hate.

“Okay, I can’t force you if you’re like this. In my opinion, Sam is a good person. Maybe he tries to provoke you, always making you annoyed. That’s just one way for him to get closer to you. He wants to be on friendly terms with you. He wants to talk to you more. It’s okay to hate, but don’t go overboard,” Chloe said. Even in their previous conversation, they had discussed this.

Perhaps because Sam’s personality is too much for Adrianna to handle, Chloe’s words are disregarded.

Ugh!
