The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 729

Who did?

Who said anything about loving him?

Did this man even listen to the words coming out of his own mouth?

Just a second ago, he was practically groveling for a chance to ask me out on a date, and now he was boldly declaring that I was deeply in love with him?

"You care so much about me, you're terrified my job might take a hit. If that isn't love, what is?" Ferris's eyes were practically glowing with elation. His normally pale face was completely flushed with excitement. "You are so head over heels for me!"

I was utterly speechless.

So that was how he did his mental gymnastics.

In his mind, because I cared about him, I was worried about him, which definitively meant I loved him.

Yet, inexplicably, an intense wave of embarrassment washed over me. It felt as though a deeply buried secret had been abruptly dragged out into the light and put under a microscope for everyone to examine.

I began to squirm, trying to break free from his beaming face and put some distance between us.

I didn't love him. I was simply showing some basic concern as a friend. That was it.

Besides, it wasn't like I wasn't thinking about myself too.

Ferris posting a photo of me without even a hint of warning was incredibly intrusive.

It was my picture, after all.

Especially considering we were about to sign the final divorce papers.

Especially considering we both worked at Capital General, and his timeline was flooded with our mutual colleagues.
