Alaric seemed harmless enough, his tone even somewhat conciliatory as he hastened to add, "Don't worry, I mean no harm." I took a step back, eyeing him with suspicion. "Then who are you...?" From his words, it sounded like he was pretty tight with Bryant. But his showing up here, his intentions remained a mystery.
Alaric, playing the role of the experienced advisor, went on, "Mrs. Ferguson, I know it's been only a short while since your divorce, but don't you think it's a bit of a pity?" I looked at him, a cold laugh escaping me. "Got nothing better to do, huh?" Meddling where it's not wanted.
Alaric gave an awkward chuckle. "Please, don't be mad. I saw Mr. Ferguson the other day, looking lost and forlorn because of you. I thought you shouldn't miss out on such a great guy." "He didn't send you, did he?" I asked. Bryant wasn't one for beating around the bush.
Alaric shook his head quickly. "Of course not. It's just... It's been a while since the divorce. Regardless of what caused the split, you must've cooled off by now. Have you considered giving it another shot?" "Mr. Ferguson definitely still has feelings for you!" "Listen, the quality of a woman's life often depends on whether she can find a good man. And a man like Mr. Ferguson, who only has eyes for you, you'd better hold on tight!" Alaric rambled on, doing his best to persuade"A little quarrel here and there is fine, but if you overdo it you might just give sother woman the chance to sneak in, Mrs. Ferguson, you're smart. Coming back to RiverCity in glory as Mrs. Ferguson surely beats being ssecret lover here, right?" I ignored most of what he said, only catching the last part. "Lover?" Alaric paused, then asked, "Wait, has Mr. Ford not even acknowledged you as his lover?" His train of thought caughtoff guard, and I responded coldly, "I think I get it You're trying so hard to play matchmaker betweenand Bryant for sfavor or project, right? But lettell you, you ne wasting your there. And what's going on betweenand my boyfriend, that's kinda none of your business." I looked at him squarely. "Get lost!" "You..."
Seeing his advice fall on deaf ears, Alaric's temper flared. "You really think you're something, hụk? Just a manipulator, dangling Mr. Ferguson while keeping things ambiguous with Mr. Ford on the side, and now you act all high and mighty with me?"
Hearing this, I almost laughed out of sheer irritation. "Seems like you've been around the block, judging others by your own standards, huh? A male manipulator?"
People tend to project their own insecurities. Whatever darknessm lurked in their hearts, they assumed the sof others. With that, I couldn't be bothered to waste another word on him, turning to make my way around to another door. "Jane!" Alaric called out, "You really think a guy like Mr. Ford will stay interested in you for long?" Jiggle Bounce He sneered. "Thinking you could actually marry into the Ford family? Funny. I'll be waiting to see you crash and burn..." ビビッド Which do you prefer?
