Chapter 222

Her heart was thumping so crazily that she was afraid that he might hear the sound of her heartbeat.

But she didn’t let her panic show.

“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.

But she didn’t let her panic show.

“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.

‘Don’t make this about me, my love.” He raised an eyebrow while saying, “First you managed to win over Wells and Belle, and then this effort you made with the baseball game tonight…Clemente is now on your side as well. It is hard to believe that you are not orchestrating something behind my back–”

“You asked me to be nice to Clemente! And your brother and sister…Don’t you want us to be friends?”

“Of course I do. And I can see that you have really tried, which almost gave me the impression that you were ready to accept my proposal…Hell was I thrilled. But when I saw the rejection on your face just a moment ago, I knew that this wasn’t the case. So tell me, Janet, what are you trying to do here?”

Janet’s body became tense.

Westin was smart.

And as reluctant as she liked to admit to it…He could see right through her.

She had to find a way to ease his mind..

Her entire escape plan hinged on this.

“Fine. You want the truth?”

She looked straight into his eyes, “The truth is that I am not ready to accept your proposal. And my heart is still with Daran.”

His face darkened abruptly.

A storm was building in his eyes.

“But-”

She hurried to continue before he snapped.

But we are where we are right now. And I am trying to get used to this place, to befriend people, to build a connection here. Because I was hoping that if I could ever begin to see this place as home…only then would you and I have a true future. together.”

He stared at her, unblinkingly.

She took in a deep breath, her voice shaking, “I am doing the best I can, Westin! To adjust to this new environment…But if you are going to deny all my efforts and be paranoid about everything that I have done, honestly, I don’t know why I am still trying! Maybe I should just give up already! Lock myself up in this room and never see anybody…because that would have been easier…”

Some heavy emotions surged up in her chest.

Those were lies that she told. But the feelings were real.
