Chapitre 178: Sharon secret. (3).

Carlos blinked, his grin fading as her words hung in the air. He turned his head to look at her, his expression thoughtful.

Sharon's green eyes met his, and for the first time that night, there was a flicker of vulnerability in her gaze. It wasn't a question she had asked lightly; it carried weight, as if she had been holding it back for far too long.
