Tina couldn't believe her ears when he accused her of having poor taste. Her eyes widened in shock. "Your taste is what's lacking!"

Phillip cast a sidelong glance at her, his tone cold. "Better than yours, at least."

It seemed he had heard or seen something about Alfred's antics. Tina knew what Alfred was like behind closed doors.

"I'm looking for a life partner, not a lover. Whether he's into Instagram influencers or movie stars doesn't concern me. A partnership devoid of love doesn't come with expectations of fidelity, does it?" "So, if you're just looking for a partner without love," Phillip questioned, "why not me?"
