Chương 41: Vol 1 : Rejection ... Again ...

Denis admitted that Faye's guess was correct, but what she wanted now was too sudden, especially when Mia's problem wasn't over yet—"Ah ..." He understood now where her change came from.

Faye thought that his touch could erase the pain caused by Mia and James.

"We can't do this," Denis refused firmly, then added, "not now, Fay." Not when Faye isn't stable. He didn't want to take personal advantage of Faye's teardrops that hadn't dried up.

"But ... why?" Faye asked in confusion, not wanting to accept that she was rejected by Denis who had always tried to sleep with her all this time.

"Because I'm sure you wouldn't ask if it weren't the Mia incident," said Denis calmly. He then got up from the bathtub, cleaned himself using the shower water, after finishing he went to find his nightgown.
