Chapter 226 Fate

• “Pretty good,” Ben Walton answered, clearly just going through the motions.
• “I can tell from that tone—you turned someone down again.”
• “I didn’t exactly turn her down. I just told the truth. We’re not the same kind of people. She’s a rich heiress with money like a small country. And me? We’re from two different social classes. Our values, our outlook on life—totally different. What I talk about, she doesn’t get. What she talks about, I can’t relate to. Trying to be ‘friends’ would just make trouble for both of us. I’m a bit of a weirdo. I like a quiet, simple life. I don’t like getting tangled up in drama. She only wants to repay me because I saved her. But I don’t need anything from her. When I saved her, I never expected a reward.” Ben thought for a moment and said what was in his heart.
