章節 326: Distracted

With her mind made up, Diana bid farewell to Tania and left the bar. As she entered the apartment building, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Marcus making his way out of the elevator. His appearance shocked her—he looked worn out, as if he hadn't been taking care of himself.

His red eyes and unshaved jaw spoke of sleepless nights and worry. Diana's concern for him rose, overriding her own emotions. As he tried to hide his face with a cap, she noticed his thinner frame, a stark contrast to the strong and confident Marcus she had known.

Their eyes met, and a flood of emotions passed between them in that brief moment. Marcus's heart ached at the sight of Diana looking back at him, she looked tired and like she had not been getting enough sleep. He wanted to reach out to her, to explain everything, but the fear of pushing her further away held him back.
