Faye looked at her expressionlessly and said blandly, "Reason?"
Tessa lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at him directly and said, "Alright, let's clear things up today, am I actually a shadow and a substitute?"
Faye was taken aback, "How did you come to that conclusion?"
Tessa gave a bitter smile, "Thinking back to the first time you saw me, your gaze was not one for a stranger. I mentioned a contract marriage, and you agreed without a second thought."
"Given your status, wealth, and appearance, you could marry any woman you want, so why agree to me? Initially, I didn't understand, until I found out I look a lot like your ex-girlfriend."
Faye felt a bit helpless, "You're not anyone's substitute or shadow."
Tessa said, hurt, "Just now, you stopped all of a sudden. We aren't a real couple, so why stop when things get intense? Something's off with you, isn't it?"
Faye: "..."
At this moment, he couldn't explain, nor could he provide an explanation.
