Halsey spat , “ Well , I don’t ! ”
Shann laughed in frustration , cupping her face and pulling her into a kiss . Before long , he tasted her tears .
She was crying .
Shaun stiffened , immediately letting go of her and sitting up .
Though the pain had faded , Halsey still felt uneasy . She gathered her disheveled clothes around her . Her clothes were a mess , but his pants weren’t even undone . He had only loosened his belt .
After fixing herself , Halsey slipped off the bed and tried to leave .
But a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist . Shaun held on tight , tilting his head back to look up at her . “ Do you think I’m ugly ? ”
Halsey hesitated , about to speak .
But then , Shaun released her . “ I get it . You can go . ”
Get what ?
But Halsey didn’t want to talk to him now . She opened the door and stepped out .
She leaned against the corridor wall , taking a deep breath . Everything that had happened in the dark was so confusing …. Just then , the door opened and Shaun came out as well . He put on his mask , still looking noble and handsome .
Without a word , Halsey turned and walked away .
At that moment , an executive approached . “ Mr. Lane , you’ve been out here a long time . ”
Shaun glanced at Halsey’s retreating figure and replied , “ Just stepped out for a smoke . ”
The executive spotted Halsey , too . “ Isn’t that Ms. Halsey ? ”
Shaun nodded . “ Yeah . ”
“ Oh , by the way , Mr. Lane , you’re still single , right ? There are plenty of daughters from wealthy families wanting to marry you . Someone asked me to find out the kind of woman you’re into . ”
Halsey hadn’t gone far . Naturally , she heard the question .
Soon , Shaun answered in a low , magnetic voice , “ Ms. Halsey’s my type . ”
Others had asked Dwight the same question before , and he had answered the same way : “ Ms. Halsey’s my type . ”
Three years had passed , but his type never changed . He had a type sure , and it was Halsey .
Halsey’s heart stirred ; she turned the corner , disappearing from sight .
Back home , Halsey sank into a large bathtub , hoping to ease her tired , aching body .
Ding !
Her phone buzzed .
She unlocked it to see a text from Shaun .
[ Still hurting ? ]

She didn’t reply .

Another message from Shaun . [ I lost control today . I’m sorry for hurting you . I really am . I
Still no reply .

Shaun was already back at GM Tech . Standing by the floor – to – ceiling windows in the CEO’s office , he typed messages to Halsey on his phone .
He knew she didn’t want to see him now , and that she was ignoring him .
Even so , Shaun sent another message . [ Are you going to date Calvin ? ]
No answer .
Frustrated , Shaun gripped his phone , typing , [ There’s still a chance my face can be fixed . If I look like I used to again … Would you still love me ? ]
But then he deleted the words .
Just then , a knock came at the door .
“ Come in , ” Shaun called .
The office door opened ; his assistant , Martin Neel , stepped inside .
“ Mr. Lane , we arranged for the world’s best plastic surgeon , but he said there’s probably no chance of fixing your face . The burn area is too severe , and three years have passed . The surgeon isn’t confident and declined the job . ”
Another rejection .
Shaun wasn’t surprised anymore . He had seen many doctors , but every single one of them shook their head when they saw his damaged face .
