Tears clung to her long, thick eyelashes, and as she blinked, they fell onto her beautiful, delicate face.

Ashton Heath had never been moved by a woman's tears before.

Looking at the girl with red-rimmed eyes and a face full of grievance in his arms, he felt a tinge of heartache for the first time.

Without much hesitation, he apologized: "You're crying? Because you think I doubted you? Baby, I'm sorry, I take back everything I just said. Pretend I never said anything, and don't be mad at me, okay?"

Ashton Heath had never known what it felt like to be flustered.
