Perhaps God thought Frank Parker's life was going too smoothly, so he allowed him to encounter such a setback in love.
It had always been him looking down on others, finding them annoying, and fearing that they would cling to him relentlessly.
But now, everything had turned the other way around.
His pride and dignity were trampled ruthlessly beneath Joanna Lawrence's feet.
In front of her, he was so humble that even he felt pitiable.
Yet, his humbleness didn't gain him anything.
All he saw was her evasive and uninterested gaze.
Joanna couldn't say a word.
Actually, she wanted to say that she didn't dislike Frank Parker.
It's just that, indeed, she didn't want to get involved with him anymore.
Before knowing about his feelings for her, perhaps they could still be friends.
But after knowing about them… they could only be strangers.
Because she had to consider Ashton Heath's feelings.
