to fall for her entirely.He had never seen a girl play basketball that well before.Back then, he was interested in Queenie because she was good in basketball and clicked with him.Yet, it seemed like Queenie’s skill was nothing compared to Sophie’s.Queenie burst into tears again. How can he do this to me?Queenie was aggrieved. “Cyro, how can you do this to me?”“Stay away from Sophie from now on.
