as if she couldn’t breathe.

She reached out, intending to push him away, but the moment her fingers touched his chest, he grabbed them, “You didn’t call me that night.”

“Brother Payne.” Cressida Jones wanted to escape quickly and naturally complied.

“So, what type of person do you actually like?”

“I…”

“Think carefully before you answer.”

His gaze was direct and eager, staring at her intently; beneath the calmness of his eyes, there seemed to be a turbulent undertow.

Cressida Jones intended to brush him off casually, but his gaze made her heart flutter, and she couldn’t articulate an explanation, so she just gritted her teeth and asked: “What does my preference in type have to do with you?”

After all, he didn’t like her.

This remark made Tim Payne feel discontent.

Just as Finn Hale had said, he was just a stubborn ducks that refused to admit defeat.

He didn’t express his feelings because he was afraid, unable to guess Cressida Jones’s thoughts, scared of being rejected. She had just kicked her scum fiance to the curb, the Jones Family’s mess hadn’t been dealt with, and her grandmother needed care; he feared she wasn’t in the right mindset to start a new relationship.

In the face of love, the usually fearless him seemed somewhat cowardly.

It’s just that there were indeed many people eyeing her…

The sense of crisis emerged.

And today’s sudden incident made him realize:

He simply couldn’t accept the slightest harm coming to Cressida Jones, nor the idea of her leaving him.
