I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 482 Ending Up Here Anyway

Melanie looked at the pair of eyes that used to make her believe him so easily. The sorrow slowly crept up on her, and her eyes felt somewhat wet.

If he didn’t come, then he would simply be suspicious. She could never be sure.

hands.

The only explanation was that these people were under his command, and that all of this was simply an act. That was why he didn’t need to look for an exit. When the kidnapper unintentionally let her hear his voice through the phone, William’s voice was so clear… And he still wanted to lie
