Beneath the mask, his features were still strikingly handsome.
His magnetic personality and innate nobility made him unforgettable at first sight.
Bryson ran his fingers through his sweat-dampened hair and grinned at Hannah.

Exasperated, Hannah replied, “I don’t even know him well.
Why would I lose on purpose? No one’s paying me off.
”
Confused, Lydia countered, “Your drifting used to be lightning-fast; you never lagged even after five laps.
How could you mess up?”
Hannah glanced down at her callused hands, hardened from years of domestic Labor.
“These hands are the reason.
The feeling of holding the steering wheel is different now.
” She displayed them to Lydia, shrugging.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“It’s been four years since I last touched a racing car.
At this, Lydia’s frustration escalated.
“If not for that jerk, you would never have…”
“Who are you badmouthing?”
Sadie, Eliana and Declan appeared just as Lydia was speaking.
