Ellinor said, “No, I mean, even if you weren’t busy, even if you had time to come see me, there wouldn’t be a chance”

Bartlett was taken aback, then a cold smirk appeared on his face, “Do I really fall that short in your eyes?”

Ellinor smiled. “Maybe you’re a great guy, but when your heart is already taken by someone else, you can’t see the good in others.”

Bartlett stared at Ellinor’s profile as she looked up at the sky, “So, Theo is the one who’s taken your heart?”
