Chapter 396

The air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Frank stared at me intently. "When did this happen?"

I answered honestly, "Yesterday."

"So..." He smiled briefly, but with a touch of sarcasm. "You've spent two years with him, found you still couldn't make it work, and now you're thinking of turning to me?"

I began using more force, but he seemed to not feel any pain. His gaze filled with scrutiny and questioning.

I suddenly withdrew my hand, stood up, and said, "No."

Frank's smile took on a roguish edge. "Then what is it?"

I avoided his gaze. "Are your legs feeling any better?"

"Charlotte, aren't you quite adept at making cutting remarks?"

He gripped my wrist tightly, pulling me closer and gritting his teeth, "Why are you silent now? Feeling guilty?"

"Frank..."

His grip wasn't very strong, and I managed to pull free with a little effort. I whispered, "If you insist on thinking that way, then I'll just consider myself guilty." Perhaps, I was guilty after all.

He smirked. "Do you know what kind of quote that is?"

"What?"

"It's a quote from a 'slutty girl"."

I pursed my lips. "It's getting late. I'll be going now."

With that, I hurriedly left Jelaston Summit.

Frank watched my receding figure, a hint of forbearance crossing his face.

Only when he heard the door close did he lower his head, open his phone, and look at the message thread.

He ended up smiling.

Alana emerged from the eSports room, her expression twitching. "What, you're just letting her go like that? "What do you think I should do?"
