William Cole's mind went blank.
This was the first time Ruth Dawn had kissed him, and it was also the only time.
William Cole didn't know how to feel. He hadn't touched Ruth before their marriage, now they were married, was there really a physical connection between them?
After who knows how long, Ruth pulled away from William, "I'm sorry, William. I really know I made a mistake."
"Can we remarry?"
A sudden question.
At that moment, William's heart wavered.
The emotions he had been suppressing all erupted and nearly led him to agree with her.
But then, his mind suddenly became very clear.
If he remarried Ruth, would the successors of the consortium choose to let the Dawn family go?
By then, the Dawn family would be pulled into a maelstrom.
Ruth's safety would then also be hard to ensure.
William hesitated.
Seeing William's hesitation, Ruth's face reddened with anger, she felt aggrieved.
She had begged William Cole, humbling herself.
