What do you mean, 'you believe that too'?
Could it be, he was deceiving her?
Sofia Hamilton's slow realization dawned on her as she looked at him in astonishment, while he slightly curled his lips, smiling with full rascal charm, "Fool, I tricked you."
As he spoke, he couldn't help ruffling her hair with suppressed laughter.
"..." Sofia had no words, he even took this kind of thing as a joke! What a waste of her sympathy!
She was angry, "Ryan Gregory, can you be serious for once? You take everything as a joke!!"
Making her feel truly guilty...
And even a bit, like he was pitiable.
Ryan took a sip of alcohol, but kept smiling without a word.
In his eyes, however, was a fleeting touch of sorrow.
All guilt gone from Sofia's heart, she got up angrily to leave. Just as she stood up, her wrist was grasped by him.
His large hand, gripping her wrist tightly.
The burning warmth in his palm ironed her skin...
