"Okay, you temporarily forget that you are a bodyguard, and Rui is the young wife of a wealthy family, so you just face me like an ordinary man, and tell the truth, do you like her?" Rui slowly raised her eyes and stared at him. Her face didn't change, but there was a trace of despair in his eyes.
Shawn's stern expression did not waver at all. He felt a dull pain in his heart. "No, ma'am, I respect her as a madam, and it is my duty to protect her to the death, but I don't have any thoughts about her."
"I asked you to think of yourself as a normal person, but you answered like a bodyguard." He froze. "...Do not."
Rui stared at him intently until her eyes hurt. She wanted him to admit it at least now, but he didn't. Angel saw the undisguised disappointment on her face. And she also saw Shawn's clenched fist, and he denied it.
It's not that he doesn't love her. He was just too stubborn to admit it.
