A smile slowly formed on Grace’s lips, her narrowing eyes devoid of emotion. “You’re an ex who is dead to me, not some friend.”

While Benjamin had heard such a rejection before, he still couldn’t deal with it calmly.

“Stop being hypocritical. They’re treating me like this because you allowed them to, didn’t you?”

“Me?” Benjamin frowned deeply, obviously disagreeing with her words.
