She could only hear Logan's soothing voice.
"Little one, you've suffered enough."
Selina felt as if something struck her heart—both sore and numb.
When Angelica falsely accused her, when Shareholder Taylor betrayed her, she hadn't felt hurt.
But being held in Logan's embrace and comforted like this, an indescribable wave of emotion suddenly surged within her.
Selina felt lost. Why?
She had survived all those years without anyone to console her, without anyone to rely on.
Yet now, the older she got, the more delicate she seemed to become.
"Logan, I'm not upset."
But Logan gently touched her forehead.
"With me, you can be."
"You're being falsely accused, stabbed in the back by people you trusted—that is something to feel upset about. So you're allowed to be."
Any girl in her position would feel wronged. Selina never cried, but that didn't mean he shouldn't comfort her.
Selina blinked.
