Amelia retracted her wrist, trying to pull her hand from the man's palm.
But if the man refused to let go, how could she possibly withdraw?
Frowning, she lifted her eyes only to collide with the man's piercing dark pupils, the warmth in those eyes almost seemed as if they were melting her.
Ruby Shane had asked her how long she intended to keep up this tug-of-war with this man?
Without thinking, she had said, until Julian Cooper leaves this world.
How did Ruby Shane mock her at the time?
"If you really wait that long, even Carl would be taking a wife by then."
Again she remembered his earlier question about when she planned to fulfill him?
Truthfully, she didn't know.
To let him go, she couldn't bear it, to accept him, she couldn't lay down her pride.
Julian Cooper wouldn't accept her as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't just stick to him without regard for pride.
Mainly, she couldn't disregard her father's pride.
So, for now, she might as well keep him hanging.
