Jared Hughes usually had a stoic expression, but now his eyes were filled with laughter.
Betsy Russell could clearly see that his eyes were full of her.
At that moment, Betsy's heart fluttered.
Betsy knew what was going on in her heart, and because she understood, she felt desolate.
Thad Drew treated her so well, she should be with him even if there was no love now, perhaps it could grow over time.
But all she had for Thad Drew was gratitude, and her heart was mostly calm.
However, when she was with Jared Hughes, her heart would race uncontrollably because of his gaze, and her emotions would be affected by his.
But she eventually grew up, and she no longer placed love first. She had other, more important things to do.
Betsy picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart.
"As your male partner?" Jared Hughes said with a smile, looking at Betsy.
"Yes." Betsy put the tea back on the table and nodded slightly.
