Roman West stopped, looking at the arm stretched out across his chest.
The light from a spotlight overhead cast the man's strikingly handsome face in a play of light and shadow.
It was impossible to make out his expression.
"What are you doing? Can't you see my niece is being bullied?"
"Since when were you so close with your niece?"
"Ever since she moved into the family estate, she's made me congee by hand every single morning!
I'm indebted to her, so I can't just stand by!"
'Every morning?'
'She makes it herself?'
Aiden Pierce's heart soured with jealousy.
He had to coax and scheme just to get a taste of the congee Willow West made herself!
Roman West got to wake up to it every day. What gave him the right?!
Aiden Pierce spoke slowly, his tone as coolly detached as ever.
"She'll run into situations like this many more times in the future.
You can save her this once, but can you save her for a lifetime?"
