Did he know how much pain his words would bring her?
Her heart convulsed painfully as the ache spread throughout her body. Her eyes were bloodshot and pierced with tears, continuing to slide down her pale cheeks.
"Ashton." Her voice trembled, tears like broken pearls seeping from her eyes non-stop. "Are you really going to defend her like this? You've only known her for such a short time, but you're so dedicated to her. What about her?"
"Are you sure her feelings for you are the same?"
"She has a fiancé whom she's known for a decade and their relationship is deep, almost reaching the point of marriage. Not long after she broke up with her fiancé, she came to be with you. Are you sure she didn't just marry you on a whim? Are you sure she's completely forgotten that man and is wholeheartedly in love with you?"
"Ashton, you..."
Ashton Heath's face darkened, and his gaze turned cold.
