World Evolution! Awakening Limit Grade Talent!

"Big Sis, can't you let them in just this once? I want you to always be safe, so we can always be together. It's better to have them around in case something unexpected happens—something even we can't handle."

Aiden took a deep breath, deliberately adopting a shy demeanor to soften her resolve. "So, please, Big Sis, will you let them in for me? We're already running late. Pretty please?"

Alicia, who had been on the verge of losing control after hearing words that aligned so deeply with her own desire to stay by Aiden's side forever, began to calm down. Seeing him act shy before her, his innocent gaze weakening her resolve, she felt herself melting inside.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to maintain her stern posture when he appeared like this, so vulnerable and adorable. She always became weak when he acted this way, her defenses crumbling faster than she'd care to admit.

Without fully realizing it, Aiden had escaped a volatile situation that would have undoubtedly ended in disaster. A violent outburst had been brewing, one that would've resulted in him missing the last school ceremony of his life. Yet, he had unintentionally diffused the situation by saying exactly what Alicia needed to hear, using words that made her emotionally vulnerable.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been far from pleasant.

As Alicia slowly regained control over her emotions, she started to recognize just how irrationally she had been acting. Her insecurities had led her to refuse security from entering making her feel a tinge of guilt. Aiden's words about ensuring their safety had struck a chord.

However, this guilty feeling only lingered for a fleeting moment before she quickly placed the blame on Isla for her earlier behavior.

After all, if she hadn't witnessed Isla behaving like a love struck fool in front of Aiden earlier, she wouldn't have been thrown into this emotional turmoil. It was Isla's fault, not hers, that her thoughts had spiraled into such darkness. Her reaction was completely justified—or so she told herself.

Still, she wasn't going to let them in so easily. While Aiden's heartfelt words had convinced her to reconsider, her distaste for the girl who had dared to reveal her blushing face earlier made it impossible for her to simply allow these women to close without setting firm boundaries. There was no way she could tolerate this behavior, let any random woman fawn over her man in front of her.

"Little Aiden, I'll allow them to come with us, but only under certain conditions," Alicia finally said, her voice firm but controlled. "They must keep their masks on and maintain at least ten meters of distance from both of us at all times. And one more thing…"

With a sharp glint in her beautiful black eyes, Alicia added her final demand in a chilling stern voice.

"If they try to speak to you, don't blame me for sending them away—for good."

Aiden was relieved. The fact that Alicia had agreed to let them accompany them was enough to ease the tension. Although her conditions were strict, he was perfectly fine with them. He knew Aunt May would punish them if they didn't accompany them, and for now, everything seemed to be going well.

"Okay, Big Sis, everything you said is fine with me. I don't mind them wearing masks if that's what you want, and I am okay with all the other rules, too."

Alicia felt a little better seeing Aiden agree with her. Yet, there was still an important question lingering in her mind—one that she intended to ask soon, but not right now. She kept her emotions in check, responding in a calm, composed manner, careful not to show any sign of happiness. In her heart, she knew the best-case scenario was always being alone with Aiden.

She raised her voice just enough for Ava and Isla to hear outside the gate.

Alright, you both can come in. I know you've heard everything we discussed, so don't make any mistakes from now on. This is your last chance."

Ava, hearing Alicia's words, felt a surge of excitement. She knew it had been their fault that the situation had escalated so far, and now that they had been given a second chance, she wasn't going to let it go to waste. She was determined to behave perfectly this time and keep her sister in check.

Isla, on the other hand, felt nothing but humiliation. It enraged her that Alicia had the power to decide whether or not she could be near Aiden. But even she, with her limited foresight, understood that upsetting Alicia again would mean they wouldn't be allowed to stay at all.

Swallowing her pride, Isla decided to stay quiet and nodded silently, putting her mask back on. She followed Ava's lead, albeit with a heart full of resentment. In her mind, Alicia was now the primary obstacle standing between her and Aiden. After hearing Aiden's earlier caring words, she realized that Aiden would always take his sister's side, no matter what. It was clear to her now.

So, for the time being, she resolved to play it smart, not making any mistakes while planning her move to win Aiden's heart in the future.

'I'll free my love from his evil sister's clutches, and then we'll be together,' Isla thought to herself, determination hardening her resolve. 'And this will also serve as payback for all the insults Alicia threw at me today.'

Not even her favorite snacks could distract Isla from her decision to exact revenge on Alicia.

'Hmph, just wait, evil sister-in-law. I'm coming for you soon.'

Seeing both sisters nod quietly in agreement, Aiden instructed the guards to let them in. As the gates opened, Aiden and Alicia began walking toward the hall where the entrance ceremony was taking place. The twins followed behind them, ensuring to kept their distance and wore their masks, as promised.

As they walked to the hall, Aiden attracted the attention of many girls and even some boys, who stared at him with admiration—or in the boys' case, jealousy. However, most of the boys' attention seemed to be directed at Alicia, whose beauty was mesmerizing to all those who passed by.

Walking beside his sister, Aiden began to understand what Alicia must feel when women fawned over him. He didn't like the sensation one bit. But he also knew his sister was an exceptional beauty, and it was natural for people to be captivated by her appearance.

However, Aiden promised himself that if anyone ever dared to look at her with lust in their eyes, he would make sure they learned a harsh lesson. After five years of dedicated training, he was confident in his ability to give them a lesson they wouldn't forget, leaving them scarred enough to never again dare look at the woman he loved with such disrespect.

Alicia, on the other hand, was also feeling stressed by the attention the girls in the hallway were giving Aiden and didn't even pay attention to boys. She knew he was incredibly handsome, but this was too much for her to handle after all she had endured in the past six months.

Feeling overwhelmed, Alicia turned to Aiden and asked a question that had been lingering in her mind, her voice heavy with emotion and her eyes swirling with intensity showing her obsession.

"Little Aiden, answer me honestly. Do you love any other girls besides me?"

Her voice was loud, loud enough for anyone nearby to hear, but she didn't care. She wanted the truth from him, regardless of who else might be listening.

Aiden, seeing how quickly her obsessive gaze had returned, knew something was wrong. He had a sinking feeling that something was deeply bothering his sister. For now, though, he needed to answer her question carefully, as calmly as possible.

Lying to her was not an option. Knowing his particular talent flaw, he also knew his sister knew him enough to easily detect any falsehoods, and he knew his words may sound a little misleading due to his talent and things would spiral out of control quickly. He was ready to do whatever it took to calm her down if the situation worsened, and he remained on high alert.

What Aiden didn't realize was that just around the next corner of the hallway stood a petite girl, about 5 feet 4 inches tall, with light pink hair and sparkling pink eyes. Her porcelain-white skin made her look like a delicate doll, the kind of girl everyone wanted to hug. Her small, delicate frame only made her even more adorable.

Peeking around the corner, the girl tilted her cute little head to the side, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She didn't even need to see him to know Aiden was coming; she could tell by the sheer number of girls in the hallway. Without even catching a glimpse of him yet, she felt a surge of anticipation, eager to see him again.

Without even seeing him, she felt her excitement rise. She had even reserved a seat next in the hall to him so she could observe him up close.

The only reason Chloe wanted to sit next to him, she convinced herself, was to keep an eye on him. After all, she wanted to learn everything about him, and in her mind, she justified her actions.

'Yes, that's right. It's because he helped me once. Definitely no because she wanted to sit next to him!'

'I'm just keeping an eye on him because he's an anomaly who wasn't present in the previous timeline.'

'It has nothing to do with him helping me out of a tough spot without asking for anything in return.'

'Hmph! I'm only following him because I need to figure out this variable who wasn't there before. I'm not like those other girls who are obsessed with his angelic looks.'

Chloe was a transmigrator who had returned to the past, to when she was 11 years old. She knew the apocalypse was arriving in a week.

'I can't possibly fall for someone just because he's ridiculously handsome! Hmph! How could I be like those girls who stalk him because of his charm? No way!'

She told herself repeatedly that she was only keeping an eye on Aiden because he was an anomaly in this timeline without even realizing her adorable face was completely red right now thinking all these things.
