Genevieve just couldn't understand the man.
Half the time, the expressions on his face were fake. The other half of the time, the expressions seemed genuine. But then again, that would perhaps be something he'd like others to believe.
In truth, she could never truly comprehend Adam's motives. Except for the rare few instances where Genevieve found him to be prideful, greedy, and a little bit selfish, she didn't know anything.
He claimed to be a coward, then he'd dive head-first into a difficult battle. His actions would suggest he's a highly cautious man, but every time there was trouble, his face would be half-covered by a grin.
To her, Adam was a man of contradictions.
She couldn't help but ask, "What if it were Valerian? If he were in trouble, would you—"
"I would do anything for him," Adam cut her off.
The seriousness in his voice startled Genevieve. His face was placid, and his eyes were deep and dark with not even a ripple of emotion.
