Sneaking out

Helen moved towards the window and Jacob's voice came, "Did you get the clothes?"

"Yeah." Helen said as she opened the window and Jacob helped her climb out. "I found something even better. I found Aria!!"

"Jacob? Jacob!!??" Helen was alarmed when Jacob did not reply. She found his shoulders and shook him.

Jacob hadn't really heard anything Helen had said after he had actually laid eyes on her.

He had always seen Helen dressed up as a princess. Even at the academy, she always wore long dresses opposite to many of the students who wore whatever they wanted when they were not in their uniforms.

So, seeing Helen in Aria's clothes had make Jacob appreciate a different side of her beauty.

For the first time since they had met, Helen didn't look like a royal person to him.

For the first time, she didn't seem unreachable.

Jacob's reverie was broken when Helen shook his shoulders.

He rubbed his nose and spoke, "What did you say?"

Helen frowned and asked, "Are you okay?"

At that moment, Jacob was very thankful that Helen could not see.

He would have been very embarrassed to have been seen staring at the curves Aria's pants highlighted and blushing.

At that moment Jacob made a discovery. He had discovered that Aria's body was still not very curvy and she had a boyish charm to her beauty, which was brought out by her habit to wear pants.

But Helen, on the other hand, had quite a developed body, which was understandable, seeing that Helen was three years older than Aria. Jacob was quite sure that he and a lot of men in the city would have a hard time controlling their thoughts tonight.

"Yeah." Jacob replied as he held her hands and the two quietly sneaked out of the grounds of the mansion.

Meanwhile. . . .

After leaving Helen, Aria ran through the hallway to bump into a butler who was pacing around with a very worried look.

Relief washed over the butler's face as he saw Aria. "Miss Aria!! Where have you been?? Everyone has been so worried about you!" the butler exclaimed and Aria spoke in a hurried voice, "Where is Mrs. Scott? Quick! Anyone."

The butler nodded and said, "Follow me."

He led Aria to Mrs. Scott's room and inside.

As soon as Aria went in, she was overwhelmed with guilt.

Inside the room, Mrs. Scott and some other ladies sat around Mrs. Carl, who was hugging a crying Hayden. Aria stood uncertainly at the door when Hayden's eyes somehow fell on her.

He cried out, "ARIA!!!!!!" and actually jumped from Mrs. Carl's arms. Hayden would definitely have fallen flat on his face had not Aria bended wind to make him float towards herself. As soon as he got close, Hayden launched himself towards Aria and hung onto her shoulders.

Aria wrapped her arms around his little body and said in a soothing voice, "Look how much trouble you have created Hayden."

By this time, the ladies had recovered from their shock and crowded around Aria and Hayden.

Aria was instantly bombarded with questions about where she had been and what she had been doing.
