My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 308

When Madeline said she liked it, she was merely brushing the man off and trying to ease the awkwardness

Upon hearing the young man ask her to name the dog, she immediately felt embarrassed, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

She gazed deeply at the young man. "There's no need, really. After all, it's your dog

Ryan lowered his gaze, his long lashes casting shadows ander his cyrs. His demeanor cooled a line.

He asked, "So, you're standing here not to play with the dog, but for what exactly?"

Madeline's heart sank. She casually petted the dog and, raising her chin deliberately, said, "You're a stranger, and out of nowhere you asked me to name your dog and even called me lovely. We're not close. Are you doing this because you think I'm attractive and want to hit on me?" Madeline wanted to get rid of this young man with an unknown background, so she decided to speak bluntly, with an air of overconfidence.

She paused its head, saying. "Men are all the same. You probably like me quite a lot, don't you? But you're just not being honest,"

Ryan let out a low snort, thinking I do like her, but as she said, so what? Who can truly see through my hean?

He said, "I asked you to name the dog because I thought you looked lonely by yourself. If you don't want to, that's fine too, I wouldn't want you to think I had my serior motives"

Madeline turned and began walking in another direction. However, it had snowed a few days ago, and the ground was still slippery. After a few steps, she slipped on some ice and lost her balance.

Fortunately, she had a solid footing and quickly steadied herself
