After Austin left, Connor turned to look at Annette with a smile. "It seems that I'm much more important than Austin in your heart."
Annette frowned and didn't know what Connor meant.
Connor continued, "Austin and I are both here, yet you only drove him away."
"I also drove you away. Remember?" Annette said resignedly.
Connor was not angry. Instead, he arched one brow and said, "Because I am persistent and know exactly what I want."
"That's why I can't forgive you after you helped others deceive me."
Even if Connor knew clearly what he wanted, he still chose to help Alina hide the truth from Annette.
No matter how hard Annette tried, she couldn't figure out why.
Connor said, "I took the blame not because I want to help Alina to deceive you."
"Do you know? I have been trying to convince myself with your explanation, but I can't do it because I don't want to deceive myself."
