Wasn’t it just that Trent saw the hickey?
bitter.
“Do you really care about him that much? Are you afraid of making him angry if he sees you?” Joshua felt
Anika did not answer him.
He simply didn’t understand why she cried.
Joshua used to not care at all when Anika cried. But how,when she cries,he feels so helpless.
‘Don’t cry.
He said in a low voice, and gently kissed Anika’s forehead,bridge of the nose, and cheeks…
Anika’s eyes flickered. She tried to push him,but couldn’t budge him at all.
At that moment,a knocking sound came from the door.
“Ms.Carey,your clothes have been delivered, “the waiter said outside.
Joshua immediately stopped. He leaned against Anika’s ear. His breathing was heavy.
Anika wiped away the tears from her face and glared at him fiercely.
Joshua walked away allowing her to go and open the door to get her clothes.
Anika opened the door a little,took the clothes,and calmed her mood.
“Mr.Conan,please go out.I need to change my clothes.”
Joshua was afraid that she would cry again,so he walked out of the bathroom.
He stood outside and lit a cigarette.However,the restlessness in his chest was still difficult to suppress.
Why was Anika crying?He was also feeling upset?
The waiter brought a summer blouse.After Anika put it on,even though her neck was covered by her hair,those marks were still faintly visible.

Anika stared absentmindedly at her reflection in the mirror before finally walking away.
Joshua was still standing here. When he saw her coming out,he extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
“Where did you go?”
“Don’t you know?I went to have dinner with a friend,”
Anika said.
If he hadn’t really monitored Anika, Joshua wouldn’t have let her go now.

Perhaps out of a sense of guilt,he did not Intervene.
Anika calmed down for a moment. When she returned to the table,she saw that Trent had placed a jacket
on her chair.
“You were afraid of the cold,so I had the waiter buy a coat for you.”
“Thank you.”
Anika took the coat and put it on.
Trent never mentioned the marks on her neck throughout the entire time.
He always cared about her and served her food.
Anika ate the food on her plate absentmindedly.
“Anika,whatever it is, you must tell me.Don’t keep it hidden in your heart, Trent sald

Trent knew that she only agreed verbally but would not seek help from him.
After finishing the meal,he escorted Anika back to the Conan Group.
After watching Anika leave,he returned to the car.
A phone call came in.It was a call from his good friend Efrain Acton.“How’s it going? Did you confess your feelings?”
Trent locked out of the car window.“No.”
“How come there isn’t?This is not your style.”
Trent has always been efficient in his actions.
“I felt that she didn’t like me.I was worried that after confessing,we wouldn’t have anything to do as friends.”
Efrain laughed on the other end of the phone.“Who can resist your charm?”
“No way.She had someone she liked.”
As soon as Trent thought about the mark on her neck,he couldn’t help but clench his fist.
