Chapitre 228: Don't betray my trust

"Like Miss Alice?!"

Ryan was sipping his coffee when he heard Anna's question and almost spit it all out.

Bending over, he coughed violently, his face turning a bit red as he finally managed to stabilize his emotions.

Seeing Ryan like this, Anna quickly moved to his side, soothingly patting his back.

She thought Ryan would hesitate as usual, never expecting such a big reaction from him.

A glimmer of hope sparked within her,Ryan's reaction didn't seem like one from someone in love.

"So, Ryan, you mean you don't like her, right?"

Anna's mood visibly improved, her eyes curving into smiles.

Ryan gave Anna a weird look, feeling like she was somewhat taking pleasure in his discomfort.

"Uh, why would you think that?"

He took the tissue Anna handed him, looking at her with puzzled eyes.

In his view, wasn't his relationship with Alice more like a kidnapper and hostage?
