I bit the inside of my cheek. I don't understand why, but, it was somewhat painful that Gaston disapproved of that type of relationship with Sophia. I cleared my throat and looked sternly at Gaston.“Nothing of that sort will happen, the doctor is just here for her job and will be leaving once she i
