However, the next second, George spoke with an expression that seemed to say he didn't want to hurt her, "I am the scumbag, I don't deserve you, I think it's best you forget about me."
Typically, these are the words spoken by a man who has let down his lover.
And now, they were being said by George to Isabel.
Isabel looked at George and blinked, deliberating each and every word in her mind. She hadn't said anything that could lead to such a misunderstanding. Why does he think she has fallen for him?
