Easton Holmes was just joking, but what he never expected was that Lily Turner not only took it seriously but was also extremely angry.
However, from her angry words, he gleaned some information.
"Who said you were a shameless actor?"
Someone must have said that about her, and it had to be someone she cared about, or else she wouldn't be so sensitive about the remark.
"Although you didn't say it explicitly, what you meant to convey was exactly that." Lily mistakenly thought Easton was defending himself, and in her anger, she didn't realize he was actually asking her a question, let alone sense his concern.
Hearing this, Easton's expression darkened slightly, and he let out an almost inaudible sigh, "I never had that thought at all, not superficially nor in my heart."
Anyone who could say such things is not only dark-hearted but also too shallow.
