How can he say no? What explanations has he given her?
Nothing at all!
Cherish Turner tried her best to calm her emotions and forcefully pushed him away with both hands, "Let go! You can go out with other women, but I can't?"
"Hehe." He laughed. Just when she was feeling annoyed and upset, he suddenly began to laugh, infuriatingly, "Going to watch a friend's ballet, that's nothing. Cherish, you're jealous."
Cherish Turner bit her lip in frustration, "I'm not!"
William Griffith held her waist with one hand and lifted her chin with the other, "You're allowed to be jealous."
Cherish Turner was momentarily speechless as his deep, pleasant voice continued, "But you're not allowed to knock over the jar of jealousy."
"No, no," Cherish Turner uttered these four words softly, smiling as she asked, "Who are you to me?"
"Cherish Turner." William's handsome face darkened, clearly displeased, suddenly said, "Stop being moody."
So...she was being moody.
