Amelia bit her lip, "Not just that, when he came back that day, his body was covered with many... marks."
Mason Hawkins, a man in his thirties, instantly understood what she meant by "marks." Without thinking, he said, "Impossible, Daniel wouldn't even touch a dirty woman like Anna Foster."
The man's blunt words made Amelia pause for a moment.
Right, Anna was that dirty. If it was to save her father... Amelia couldn't bear to continue the thought, and forced a wry smile, "That's true."
If Daniel really had any encounter with Anna for the sake of saving her father, she couldn't possibly blame him; she would have to be grateful instead.
No wonder he had someone protect Anna, and no wonder he wouldn't explain when she tried to test him several times.
How could he explain?
Would he say, "I slept with your stepsister to save your father"?
She wouldn't be able to say such things if she were in his shoes either.
