Chapter 599:

Silver Fox’s words left Burnet momentarily speechless. After a while, he turned to Silver Fox and said softly, “My bond with Clarissa isn’t what you think. She saved my life, and I owe her protection out of gratitude. That’s all there is to it.”

Silver Fox wasn’t satisfied with this explanation and continued to taunt him. “I think Clarissa might be hoping you’ll repay her by marrying her. You might as well go for it. Both of you have flaws, but you make quite a pair.”

Burnet responded earnestly, “I don’t have those kinds of feelings for her.”

Silver Fox, caught off guard by his serious response, felt a bit embarrassed. Her taunt had clearly not gone as planned. She shrugged awkwardly and muttered, “Who wants to hear your explanation?”
