Her answer was perfect; given the situation, it was very likely that Enzo Laurent would have said those words.
However, instinctively, Ethan Laurent still felt she had something on her mind.
If it was just a reprimand, she wouldn't look so troubled, would she?
He had no idea what Enzo Laurent actually said to her, nor whether what she had just said was true.
After a moment of silence, he bent down and softly kissed her shoulder, turning her face towards him.
He looked at her, his gaze deep and profound, like the silent waters of a moonlit pool.
His tone was particularly assertive, "Whatever anyone says, don't mind it. Just focus on what I say, understand?"
When he said this, his eyes were especially deep, as deep as an abyss you can't see the bottom of, as if about to draw her in.
Summer Ford was shocked, looking at him, as if surprised that he could so effortlessly capture her thoughts.
Silence.
