Marc's expression instantly darkened like the stormy sky. He stared atintently. A flash of hurt and anger crossed his face.
"Evelyn, what does this mean?" he asked coldly. "Just a few days ago, weren't we all sweet and affectionate? How cyou've suddenly changed your mind?" Hearing this, Ethan's face also turned grim. He tightened his grip on my hand, as if silently questioning me.
I lowered my eyes, feeling guilty. I stammered, "Marc, letexplain..." But Marc didn't givea chance to speak.
"Explain? What's there to explain?" He sneered. "Evelyn, I've given you everything, and yet, you're shamelessly flirting with another man right in front of me? I was wrong about you. You're just a deceitful bitch!" "Enough!" Ethan could no longer hold back. He stepped in front ofprotectively. "I warn you. Don't insult Evelyn like that. She's my woman. Don't you dare lay a finger on her." The tension between Ethan and Marc was palpable. The two of them were at odds, ready to fight. I stood helplessly between them.
"Marc, I'm sorry. I should have explained sooner." I gathered my courage to speak. "Thank you for everything you've done for me. But Ethan and I have been together for a while now. This is how I feel, and I hope you can understand." Marc's face darkened even further. His expression was filled with bitterness. He glared at us, then turned to leave.
"Well, if that's how it is, then I have nothing else to say," he said without looking back. He stormed off, leaving Ethan andstanding there in silence.
What's the relationship between you two?" Ethan questioned.
"W-We are really just friends." I sighed. "He was pursuingbefore, but I didn't agree to it. I swear, I have no feelings for him!" Ethan looked atsuspiciously, as if he didn't quite believe me. "Then what about the engagement news? And what did he mean by saying he gave everything to you?" I rubbed my temples in frustration. "How would know? Maybe it was just his one-sided advance. Besides, the media will write anything to get attention. It's all just a baseless rumor! Believe me, will you?" looked at him with pleading eyes.
