Extra And MC

Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Goodbye & Good Riddance

After my dad made the preparations with our butler and also simultaneously had him inform the White Family of my visit, we continued having our breakfast while discussing other things till our parents decided to leave for work.

Taking that as my queue, I also decided to head over to the White Family's residence to get the annulment of my engagement with Amelia over with.

Aiden decided that he was going to stick around at home then continue his training later in the day. I'm concerned that he's going to become a training addict at this rate but then again, it's not like I'm any different. Frankly speaking, we don't even have a choice considering our imminent doom.

Getting out of the mansion, I saw my dad and mum in their cars, a futuristic version of a Porsche with tires that seemed to merge into the sleek body of the vehicle, one with a black and the other with a red color.

They both drove out of the gate as it automatically opened, the sounds of their engine humming in the distance as they left. This world was already very scientifically advanced so vehicles like these aren't particularly a rare sight.

I've been wondering since the day we left for the city but I think the reason why we have no hover cars has something to do with my parents being lovers of the normal traditional vehicles. Hover cars might be expensive but it's still within their budget.

If I'm being fair though, I think most people in this world still prefer normal vehicles but with a touch of futurism. Most people who use hover cars just use it as a way to flaunt status.

I slowly walked over to the last car in the compound, a sleek futuristic version of a limousine which looked like a long rectangular box with finely curved edges, it's tires barely peeking out from underneath the body of its shiny matte black paintwork.

Butler Frank was already in the driver's seat and I got in and sat down, signaling that I was ready to go.

The drive was very calming as we drove through the long windy road from our estate to reach Amelia's residence. As the drive continued, I began to ponder over Flynn and Amelia's relationship.

'They used to be so close when they were younger though…'

I think close is a bit of an understatement, they were almost inseparable, so much that Amelia would cry whenever either of them was about to leave for their homes. Flynn would then have to calm her down while promising that they would see each other the next day.

This was what prompted their family members to actually decide on an engagement between both of them, an engagement that was originally supposed to happen between Aiden and her.

However, they slowly began to drift apart as they grew up. Flynn tried to maintain contact with her but she never really seemed to want to put in the same effort as he did.

Their relationship finally came to a halt when Flynn awakened to a lower core rank while Amelia awakened to a high-tier C-rank core, as that was what a few nobles their age awakened to, with most of them actually being usually low or mid-tier, so Amelia was hailed as a rare talent.

That also became the catalyst to which she began to request for the annulment of their engagement, something Flynn vehemently denied every time the letter was sent.

'I'm not particularly interested in why she started distancing herself from Flynn though' I inwardly said to myself.

We eventually arrived at the White Family's residence and if I'm being honest, it was miles better than our residence. The entirety of their mansion seemed to be in its best state as it was bustling with maids and various workers seemingly going about their duties.

The exterior of the mansion and the surroundings itself were particularly eye-catching. It had beautifully manicured gardens, lush green lawns and ornamental trees as far as the eye could see. About seven cars were parked in the driveway and we were also told to park there when we entered through the large white gates of the residence.

As I got down from the limo, a few maidservants who seem to have been informed about my presence today respectfully guided me into the mansion which was just as luxurious as it's outer appearance, all the way into a small room that was well furnished and had two long couches on opposing sides with a glass table in between.

Butler Frank was also accompanying me as he stood behind the couch I sat on while the maids served me refreshments. All that was left was for Amelia and one of her family members or a lawyer to show up to have all these proceedings done with as soon as possible.

However, they seemed to take their time as I was forced to wait for quite a while, specifically about an hour before Amelia, her brother and the lawyer who was tasked with overlooking the legal aspects of this annulment leisurely stroll in.

I was previously told that she had apparently been training when I arrived but I honestly didn't care as I just sipped my tea while calmly awaiting their presence.

Amelia as usual had a look of annoyance on her face while her brother Bryan White, just seemed uninterested by the whole thing. They all sat on the opposite couch as the lawyer began to remove all the related files that were required for me to be signed to have the engagement annulled.

'Finally! I can go home and get back to training' I inwardly said to myself while placing my cup on the glass table.

"I'd have never expected you to actually accept my request after all these years" Amelia said as she broke the silence.

I didn't reply to her as I just began to sign the documents the lawyer placed in front of me. There was no point in responding to her honestly. Flynn may have had a thing for her but I clearly didn't. Well, it was technically still me but whatever. She might be really beautiful but I've never been swayed by people's looks so there's also that.

'Why are all these documents so many though' I thought to myself as I signed the fifth document.

'Is it because these completely cuts off all manner of relations to the White Family? Well whatever, I'm almost done anyway'

"Are you really not going to say anything? Or are you just trying to act tough?" Amelia said again with a slight irritation in her voice as she continued.

"Considering how much of a wuss you are, I guess this isn't too surprising".

'She really does love to run her mouth huh… Anyway, I'm done signing the papers. Phew, glad I got that out of the way' I thought to myself while standing up as I proceeded to take my leave.

"Thank you for your time" I said to the trio as I gave a light bow, after which I proceeded to take my leave. I have to at least observe the etiquettes even if none of them did.

Amelia just seemed dumbfounded. She thought that the last time they met, he was just trying to get away from both her and Lucas but after seeing the gaze in his eyes as he signed the papers without even so much as a twitch in his indifferent expression, it was obvious that he really didn't care.

This really baffled her as she found it very unbelievable that someone who tried to get across to her so many times and even rejected her annulment letters over the years would just nonchalantly behave like he was never even interested in the first place and accept the annulment without so much as a fuss.

This made her follow him immediately he walked outside the door. She needed to know if he was just faking it and trying to act tough. Bryan on the other hand just seemed slightly amused at the turn of events.

"You're really going without making a fuss?"

I heard Amelia's voice as she called to me but I pretended like I didn't as I continued to make my way out of their mansion.

'What does this young lady even want? Didn't I already give her what she wanted. I thought she'd be super elated but why is she bothering me instead?' I inwardly said to myself as I kept walking.

'Maybe it is a bit odd though that the person who tried so much to get across to you suddenly stopped trying, and even signed an annulment that he'd been rejecting for years, that without kicking up a fuss too'

Butler Frank opened the door for me as I got out of the mansion with Amelia in tow. As I made my way to the parking lot, I heard Amelia call for me again, this time with a lot of frustration in her voice.

"Flynn. Flynn. Flynn!!!"

At this point, I knew that I at least had to say something, unless she'd keep bugging me for quite a while if I were to ever meet her elsewhere, and that's going to be a lot of times considering how many social events nobles are required to partake in. Let's not even talk about the academy.

-Sigh

I pinched the ridge of my nose as I slightly frowned at the thought of it while letting out an audible sigh. I then turned around to face Amelia while meeting the frustrated gaze in her eyes.

I stared at her for a few moments before I finally spoke up.

"Miss Amelia White, I believe we have nothing we need to say to each other anymore so I'd really appreciate it if you could let this go. I've given you what you've always wanted right? So I'd be grateful if you could also leave me in peace. Do have a nice life"

As soon as I completed my statement, I immediately got into the car without bothering to hear Amelia's response while signaling Butler Frank that I was ready to go, to which he promptly started the engine and drove out of the mansion.
