Sophia Jackson paused in her tracks.
She smirked, then slowly turned around. After a few moments of silent regard, she gave Frank Smith an unexpected response: "I quite like him."
If it was only a matter of liking, she could simply answer: I like him.
However, her fond feelings for Oliver Nelson had risen to the point where she could say: I quite like him.
Those three words were enough to prove Oliver's place in her heart and the indelible impression he left on her during their time together, unforgettable.
When Frank heard Sophia's three-word reply, he was indeed taken aback.
Besides surprise, his heart was inexplicably heavy and suppressed, as if something was grasping it tightly...
He moved his lips and strangled out: "It's been five months since your engagement, only less than two have been spent together. Sophia, you must be joking."
His question was self-deceptive.
