Laney gritted her teeth and said firmly, “Greg, I don‘t like you that way.I only think of you as a friend.”

Greg ran his fingers through his wet hair and murmured, “So, you don‘t hate me? Are you saying I just need to try harder?”

The thought seemed to excite him.

He quickly handed the umbrella to her and cried, “Then I‘ll try harder, Laney!”

With a big smile on his face, he rushed back to his car and drove away.

Ever since she moved into her new apartment, she hadn‘t bought any home goods.

Garrett said gently.

Laney rolled her eyes and sneered.She somehow felt cheated.

Laney left the supermarket with nothing but anger.She was inexplicably annoyed.

Just a few days ago, Garrett tried talking her out of getting into a relationship with someone else.

Yet here he was now, dating another girl himself.
