"Of course I feel wronged. I'm in your arms, yet you don't cherish me at all. But do you know? That George Flack is still harassing me; it's so annoying. I've already deleted him. Why does he keep contacting me?"
Although she said this with pouting lips, Edward could totally tell that Mallia Mamet was bragging, so he helplessly stroked her nose.
"Do you think I can't hear the boast in your voice? Isn't this just proof that you're very charming? You've rejected that person, but he still keeps pestering you."
Even though that was the meaning, Mallia found it uninteresting. Now that Edward had spelled it out, there was no sense of mystery left.
...
Alright, Thomas Yates had not expected Mallia to be so unsentimental. He thought she would at least tell some kind of white lie, like not wanting to disrupt George's marriage, but he hadn't expected Mallia to not mention it at all, simply stating she had someone she liked now.
