He smiled again, gazing at me with his dark eyes. “I got someone to follow her—don’t worry about it. Originally, I planned to go out for a walk with you alone, but Joe isn’t around, and Rebecca might be bored if I left her alone in the hotel. Next time, let’s go out by ourselves, alright?”
I pursed my lips and grunted in response, sounding rather deflated. When had he become so close to Rebecca, anyway?
Over the past few weeks, he had started treating her like a younger sister who had been entrusted to his care!
He suddenly leaned closer and pinched my cheeks. It hurt a little. I looked up and met his gaze defiantly. In a low voice, he said, “Scarlett, as long as she doesn’t do anything inappropriate, can’t you just treat her as your younger sister? Do you need to make things so difficult for the both of us? Just let go of your grudge, won’t you?”
I frowned even more fiercely. His words had touched a raw nerve in me. Staring at him in the eye, I asked, “Is that all I am to you? A wretched woman who has been wasting away in hatred and regret?”
