A smile appeared on Richard's face, in response. Meanwhile, his hand seemed to gently caress Ellena's hand. It seemed he didn't want to hear what Ellena had to say anymore.
"Maybe this will disappoint you, but I have to tell you the truth. I don't want you to keep hoping for me, while I may not be able to make your expectations come true." Ellena whispered as she looked down, then looked at Richard with a sad expression.
Instantly Richard's smile faded. He seemed to be furrowing his brows as if in amazement. "What do you mean, Patricia?" He asked probingly.
"Actually, I ... I already have a husband, Richard."
Richard jumped when he heard Ellena's statement. His eyes looked perfectly rounded and in just seconds, Ellena's hand slipped from his grip.
