Chapter 1053
Blake suddenly became angry. She looked into Kevin’s eyes and demanded, “What do you mean I lack basic
decency? Kevin, look at me. Do you actually have feelings for me, or is this all just an act?”
Kevin remained silent, but his eyes betrayed him. Blake’s heart plummeted with the realization.
She had a bittersweet smile on her face. She sank onto the bed, resignation in her posture. She said, “I should’ve

“Get out! The further away, the better!”

forgotten. The cold morning breeze wafted through his car, stirring him from his thoughts.
