Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 426

Angela was completely taken aback, puzzled by the meaning behind his words. For a brief moment, she found herself at a loss for how to reply.

Dexter looked into her eyes, showing a hint of tenderness. Suddenly, he softly brushed his fingers through her messy hair and sighed quietly.

His voice was gentle, tinged with an unmistakable hint of vulnerability. "I don't want to see you struggle."

"You..." Angela hesitated, her gaze softening with a hint of heartache.

"I'm not someone who falls in love easily. And I believe you're the same. So, go handle your own matters first. As for us... We can talk about it later." He smiled sincerely.

She had never imagined facing such a difficult choice. Seeing Genevieve was something she had to do. Yet, Dexter had also become someone she couldn't bear to part with.

Feelings truly did grow over time. She and Dexter had gone from enemies to something more, and now, she couldn't even bring herself to let go.
