She should not have been like that.
"You are the best version of yourself," Jensen said while holding her face in both hands. "In future, I won't allow you to slander yourself. You are not allowed to do that, understand?"
"I want to help you," she said. She couldn't remain guarded against that man. "Jensen, even though I couldn't successfully do it with you, I think there may be other ways."
Jensen was taken aback by her words, and his eyes were full of unspeakable complex emotions. His deep gaze made him look even more charming and indifferent at the moment.
"Alice," Jensen said after a long time. "I can endure it."
"I don't want you to endure it anymore," Alice replied with eyes full of tears.
He wanted to do it.
But she couldn't do it with him.
However, she wanted to sincerely comfort him.
She thought that she could at least do that.
Jensen's eyes widened instantly and he looked at her in disbelief. She actually reached out her hand towards him.
