Chapter 158: He Agrees to Sever the Mate Bond

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

I never imagined I would hear Marcus personally admit he was worried about me. The words hung in the air between us like a fragile bridge.

I withdrew my gaze and laughed bitterly. “Only now you know to worry about me, don’t you think it’s already too late?”

Marcus quickly pulled out his wallet before I could reach for mine. He paid without hesitation.

The stall owner looked at us both and smiled genuinely. “You two make such a perfect couple!”

Marcus opened his mouth to explain, but I interrupted him sharply. “We’re just friends and could never be together.”

I stood up abruptly and left without looking back.

“But she shows extraordinary affection for Elena, even more than she shows me.”
