"But, Miss Hansley—" Leland wanted to talk Sophie into the marriage, but the woman looked at him with fierce eyes.
"I have to leave, my lord. I cannot stay here anymore if you keep insisting otherwise." Sophie shook her head and without another word, she promptly left Duke Romanov's study, leaving behind the man stand rooted in his place.
He was rejected again. He had told himself that he wouldn't care but it still felt hurt.
Sophie then forced herself to move on and quickly headed to her room.
Sophie did not expect the man to chase after her since she already refused him. No noble would swallow their pride and chase after a woman even after they have been rejected and so… she chose to leave.
