The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 282

Thinking he had actually crossed a line, Liam hurried over to smooth things over.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Are you seriously mad?"

Sarah looked up, her eyes red.

Liam jumped back.

"Whoa, what's wrong? I said I was just joking!"

Sarah's lips trembled. "Liam... you're such a jerk!"

Liam folded faster than ever.

"I'm a jerk, a massive jerk, I'm so sorry! I really was just messing around. Our gorgeous Sarah would never harbor a secret crush on anyone, right?"

He probably shouldn't have said anything, because the tears were now brimming in her eyes.

Suddenly, it clicked for Liam.

Wait a minute.

The Sarah he knew was tough as nails. She was the kind of woman who would rather bleed out than shed a tear.

She had navigated the dating scene for years with an undefeated record.

She dumped guys; they never dumped her.

This reaction was completely out of character.

A thought struck him, and his face turned dead serious.

"Sarah, please don't tell me you're crying because I actually hit a nerve."

Sarah sniffled.

"What kind of stupid nerve?"

The words just flew out of Liam's mouth. "You like Julian."

The item in Sarah's hands slipped and crashed to the floor.

Liam stared at her, utterly speechless.

Wow.

This was really something.

He had no idea the emotional web between their friend group had gotten so tangled.

Sarah kept her head down, lost in her own thoughts.

When she finally looked up a long moment later, she had forced her usual brash demeanor back into place.

"Liam Bancroft, what kind of garbage are you spouting? Why the hell would I have a crush on Mr. Vance? If you keep running your mouth, I'm going to cut your tongue out!"
