“Is it because of him?”
Tessa found him utterly ridiculous. What right did he have to blame someone else?
“Who cheated first? I’ve already rejected you. We’re not mates anymore.”
Ryan wouldn’t listen. Instead, he rushed forward, ready to confront Aaron.
Tessa immediately stepped in front of Aaron, and Ryan let out a bitter laugh.
