Trenton Smith squinted at her tear-streaked face, and after a moment, he pushed her away. Norris Moore thought he was going to leave again and clung tightly to him, her entire body pressed against his.
"Mr. Smith..." she stammered, her voice nasal.
Trenton frowned slightly. "Dirty. You got your snot all over me."
Norris took an awkward step back, looking at him helplessly.
She was afraid that Trenton would leave, afraid that he would retaliate against the Miller family, afraid that Alex Miller would be hurt again, and afraid that the Miller family would go bankrupt…
She was afraid of so many things.
She had hurt so many people, and she didn't want the only person who was kind to her to be hurt again because of her.
"Go wash your face," Trenton ordered.
Norris obediently nodded her head, glanced at Trenton, hesitated for a moment, then went into the bathroom to wash her face, removing the tear stains.
