He’d said that once he took full control of the family business, he would divorce her and give Elizabeth a grand wedding.
Now, seeing the barely hidden tenderness in his eyes for Delia, I didn’t bother hiding my disdain.
“Hah!”
Before you start pointing fingers at others, maybe take a good look at yourself first.
Those obvious marks are all over you, especially those scratch marks on your chest – who wouldn’t be able to guess what happened?
Acting all devoted when you clearly can’t keep it in your pants?
Please, you’re just a two-faced player.
Ugh, what a pathetic jerk!
I spat in disgust. “From now on, there’s nothing between us.”
Throwing down those parting words, I grabbed my shoes off the floor and prepared to leave Ethan’s mansion.
Just as I reached the doorway, I paused, as if struck by a thought.
Turning back, I gently poked Charles’s chest and asked softly, “Do you… want to come with me?”
After all, he was my responsibility now. If he stayed, who knows if Ethan might continue to bully him?
There was no way this soft, clueless puppy would stand a chance against Ethan’s ruthless temper.
I’d hate to see him get torn apart.
