Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 803:

Burnet knew his question would stir Silver Fox’s ire, yet driven by a gnawing jealousy, he couldn’t hold back. Even though Black Mallow was a woman, knowing that she held a higher place in Silver Fox’s heart than he did made him uncomfortable.

His heart sank as he watched Silver Fox’s expression darken—a clear sign that he had struck a nerve.

“Burnet, don’t taint my friendship with Black Mallow with your despicable thoughts,” Silver Fox snapped, her voice icy. “Your words reflect nothing but your own pettiness.

She barely harbored feelings for him—perhaps none at all. Expecting her to prioritize him in her heart seemed unreasonable now. The bond between him and her was indeed not as deep as that between her and Black Mallow.
