"Logically speaking, you're interested in me. Naturally, you'd want to explain everything so I wouldn't misunderstand your relationship with Ron."
Danielle stared at him for several silent seconds.
Then, she suddenly burst into laughter. "Young Lord..."
She covered her mouth while trying to suppress her laughter. "Do you seriously misunderstand my intentions that much?"
Asher blinked in confusion.
"What exactly do you mean?"
Danielle smiled politely before answering without the slightest hesitation.
"It's actually very simple. I never planned on pursuing you. I also never planned on marrying you. So... why would I feel the need to explain anything to you?"
She gave him an apologetic smile. "I think you've misunderstood everything."
With that, she stood up gracefully. "I'll be taking my leave now."
Without waiting for another response, she calmly walked out of the apartment. Behind her, Asher remained completely frozen.
