August Oliver was taken aback for a moment and instinctively met Anna's anxious gaze.
Anna was indeed very nervous, her heartbeat pounding. She didn't even know why she suddenly said these things. But when August said goodbye to her, she really felt as if this man was leaving her life for good. She suddenly had an impulsive urge to speak out, fearing she might never have the chance again. Even if she said it, she might not have a chance...
August Oliver hesitated for only a few seconds before he gently pulled his hand away, "Anna, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."
Even though she had anticipated this outcome, when August Oliver truly rejected her, Anna's eyes quickly filled with tears. "I know, I know. I just wanted to tell you, that's all. I didn't mean anything by it. I know you like her very much..."
"Yes, I like her very much. I've liked her for many, many years, so I'm sorry." His gaze was filled with guilt.
