Chapter 158: He Agrees to Sever the Mate Bond

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

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.
