Chapter 158
Unfortunately, what Madeline said was far from his expectations.
"Please don’t do this to me, Zane. I saw you as a friend, nothing more, nothing less," Madeline said firmly. She didn’t want to play a game of cat and mouse again with Zane.
She wanted Zane to know her true feelings.
"And those kisses we had?" Zane asked.
Madeline closed her eyes for a moment. She tried to remember all her kisses during Summer Heat Lovers with Zane, but she soon realized that everything was just for the show.
Because for every kiss she had with Zane, all she could think of was Lance.
For every kiss that she shared with Zane, she wished she could get twice the amount from Lance, and that feeling of longing was so suffocating for her because she got betrayed by Lance at that time and thought that it was just a one-sided love, just like what happened between her and Jon.
She was convinced that Lance didn’t take her seriously, so she thought she might need to learn to love Zane, even if it was difficult.
But now that Lance has shown his sincerity and seriousness in pursuing their relationship, she has no more reason to give Zane any more hope.
She had to shut him down immediately before his feelings towards her escalated.
Hearing no answer from Madeline, a bad thought popped into Zane’s mind, and he guessed, "You were thinking of him when you kissed me, didn’t you?"
Madeline bit her lower lip.
