Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 103

Blanca had been lying against the sofa. Now she sat up.

She didn’t know what had happened between Kylie and Todd, but she and Todd were past tense now!

“Blanca, I…”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up.” Blanca bit her lip. Her only flaw as a person was probably that she was soft-hearted, especially to people she’d once cared for.

Kylie had introduced her to Todd in the first place. The two of them were college classmates. Back then, Blanca was working already, and occasionally had meals with Kylie. With that back and forth, she met Todd more often, who then started courting her.

Blanca settled her thoughts and was about to hang up when there came a sudden exclamation from the other end. “I won’t give up so easily, Blanca!”

Blanca had already hung up.

Her feelings were in the past, dust in the wind.

“Who was that?”

The sudden voice startled Blanca. She almost tossed the phone out as she jumped. Then she found that Matthew had appeared before her at some point. “A friend.”

“Just a friend?” Matthew walked over, looking down upon Blanca from the bedside, lips curving. “Or an ex-boyfriend?”

Blanca’s gaze drooped and she didn’t speak.

Her fist tightened, though.

It wasn’t because she was lonely without Todd, but… what right did Matthew have to talk to her like that? What did he think he was doing? Catching her out?

“Don’t forget who you are, Blanca.”
