Chapter 819

Secret Money

Kevin paused for a moment, then smirked. “Is this because of Sean?”

Irene didn’t appreciate him talking about Sean like that, but she wasn’t angry. Instead, she spoke earnestly, “I went there to learn design from Alana. I know about your past. None of your relationships have been long-lasting.”

Kevin’s hand, which was resting at his side, was clenched slightly.

“I know, too. One day, I’ll end up like that, so I’ve never expected you to like me.” Irene stood up, meeting his gaze. “I’ve always been self-aware. I understand, given my background, you wouldn’t truly choose me.”

“How do you know I’d treat you the same as those other girls from the past?” Kevin was getting a bit angry. He admitted he was a bit of a playboy, but he genuinely wanted to treat her well.

“I’m not special. You always say I like Mr. Graham, but shouldn’t someone like him be liked?” Irene spoke softly. “I think a man who can be loyal to his partner is easily attractive to the opposite sex.”

Kevin’s palm stung from his nails digging into it.
