Choosing to ignore Betty’s pleas, Nate turned to William who was still sporting his smug expression as he awaited the punishment Nate had given him.

“Aria, why? Why did you get his love so easily? I’ve been by David’s side for years—and you? Just a broken little depressive girl.” “Didn’t you want to bond with him? Go on, then!

I couldn’t tell which way it was going to go, and most of them probably didn’t know either.
