This time, when Jessie Sterling heard Nina Walsh's voice, she didn't ignore her like before.
As for Victor Morgan, it was as if he was only just now noticing Nina Walsh's presence. He frowned and, before Jessie Sterling could speak, cut in bluntly, "She has no obligation to answer any of your questions."
He had brought Jessie Sterling here for a vacation, not to be harassed.
Out of respect for Roman Lynch, Victor Morgan felt he had already been patient enough with Nina Walsh.
But now, hearing Nina Walsh provoke Jessie Sterling so brazenly, his annoyance with her was about to boil over.
The color drained from Nina Walsh's face in an instant at Victor Morgan's words.
On top of being utterly ignored, she now had to endure a harsh rebuke and disapproval from the man she liked.
Seeing tears welling in Nina Walsh's eyes, about to spill over, Roman Lynch finally found it unbearable. He softly said Victor Morgan's name, signaling for him to stop.
