Capítulo 207: Maybe it’s love.

Ryan paused at those words, his brows furrowing and his expression hardening. Although the insinuation meant little to him, he couldn't suppress the instinct to refute it —to claim that neither he had moved on, nor did Arwen. 

But given the situation, he couldn't say that. Hence, he kept his to measured and asked, "What are you intending to say?" 

"Ryan, I heard what happened between you and Arwen," Frederick said. Though his words were framed with sympathy, his tone lacked the same emotion. The call felt more like a formality —a checkbox he deemed necessary to check. "I really felt bad about it, but this time I would say you overdid it. You have always pushed Arwen to the limits, but this time you crossed the line —subjected her to harsh public comments." 

Ryan remained silent, his jaws tightened as he listened.
