Sophia Sutton lowered her eyes, a bleak smile appearing on her face: "I don't ask for you to be with me for a lifetime... I just hope... you won't be so cruel to me. I'm not like Lily White, she can still watch you indulge in decadence when she's with you, but I can't accept it... Do you know how much it hurts my heart to see you in love with her?"
She lowered her head, her eyes covering the weary look in her eyes, "We've known each other for a while, and even if you have a lot of detestation for me, seeing that I've accompanied you these past few months, can you be a little bit gentle with me? Since you can't be with me, then don't keep me tied to your side... Alex, do you know how ruthless it is for you to do this to me?"
