A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0435

His sudden change in topic surprised Lisa, but she answered him anyway, “I think that when I’m in love with a man, I’m the only one allowed to spend his money.

As he stared at Lisa, he was suddenly disgusted by women like her. That was not love. That was no different from a material transaction.

Mark fixed his gaze on her the entire time and never really turned away. There was a kind of yearning in his eyes and many other complex feelings, interweaving between each other.
