Becky struggled to free herself of his embrace, but failed.
Devin held her tightly, pressing her face against his chest. His scent immediately filled her lungs, intoxicating her.
She didn’t know what kind of perfume he was wearing, but Devin smelled like musky citrus.
She didn’t want to cry. There was no reason for her to cry.
Unable to wrench herself free, Becky craned her neck to look up at him defiantly. “Only babies cry.”
Hearing this, Devin suddenly broke into a smile. “Aren’t you a baby?”
Whenever he smiled, his eyes curved up into half-moons, which made him look irresistibly charming.
Becky’s heart skipped a beat. At that moment, he loosened his grip on her, and she seized the opportunity to wriggle free. “Devin, you’re a real lady-killer, aren’t you?”
As she spoke, her heart skipped a beat.
But the feeling only lasted a moment. Becky clearly knew that the man in front of her was even more dangerous than Rory.
And she had finally let Rory go. She didn’t want to be entangled with another dangerous man.
“I’ve never let any other woman cry in my arms,” Devin said flatly, squinting at her.
Becky raised her eyebrows dubiously. “Really?”
After a pause, she continued, “Whatever. I’m not interested.”
With that, she reached for the doorknob and unlocked it.
“Thanks for comforting me, but I’m fine. It’s getting late. I should—”
“How about we go for a midnight snack?” Before Becky could finish her sentence, Devin interrupted her with a hopeful smile.
On her way home, the icy-cold wind had given Becky a pounding headache. She shook her head and declined, “Sorry. My head hurts.”
