Though Howard had been discreet, not overstepping any boundaries, his constant presence and thoughtful gestures, like bringing her favorite coffee, hinted at more than mere friendship.
Renee even suspected the anonymous flowers on the first day of class were his doing.
She had maintained a careful distance with Howard and kept interactions formal to avoid any misunderstandings.
“You…” Renee gently reminded him, “Howard, you’re aware I’m married, right?”
“know,” he acknowledged, looking down. “Your husband is Marcelo.”
“Even knowing that, you…”
“But Renee, that doesn’t deter me.”
Realizing his boldness, Howard quickly clarified, “I don’t intend to disrupt your marriage. I just…I wanted you to know that you’re someone worth liking, regardless of your marital status.”
He had noticed her apparent unhappiness with Marcelo and couldn’t help but admit to himself that,
despite her marriage, he still harbored feelings for her.
“Thank you, Howard,” Renee said, her smile genuine, adding a touch of warmth to her otherwise pale face.
Howard, unable to hide his longing, asked hesitantly, “So…do you think there might be a chance for us in
the future?” His eyes searched hers, hopeful.
Renee contemplated a potential future without Marcelo. “I’m sorry, Howard, but no.”
She saw the light of hope in Howard’s eyes dim, and a twinge of guilt momentarily gripped her. She sighed. “Howard, you’re a wonderful person, truly. It’s not just a ‘nice guy‘ label, I mean it. You deserve
someone who can fully appreciate you.”
Howard couldn’t bring himself to acquiesce to her words.
To him, Renee had always been the one.
He shook his head, believing she couldn’t perceive the radiance she had brought into his life.
Renee continued, “Howard, when I refuse you, it’s not about you; it’s about me.” She sighed, her laughter tinged with self–mockery, “I already have someone I like.”
“Can you…tell me who?” Howard asked tentatively.
He had gathered some information about Renee and Marcelo’s marriage, which remained shrouded in mystery. The sudden incident with Vivian had only deepened the enigma.

Many remained skeptical about whether Renee was genuinely Marcelo’s wife.
Their marriage was shrouded in mystery!
Howard spoke. “Is it Da…” But he was cut off by Renee
“Marcelo. The person I like is Marcelo. I’m sorry, How…”
Renee abruptly stopped, her attention drawn to the door.
It stood ajar, revealing a man with a food thermos in hand, unclear how long he had been standing there.
It was Marcelo!
Marcelo’s face was a mask of inscrutability, his eyes unwaveringly fixed on Renee.
No matter how she looked at him, he remained impassive, as if he were a statue.
Renee, puzzled by his thoughts, found the situation increasingly ridiculous.
She had taken pains to conceal her emotions.
Her desire for a prompt divorce and her yearning to put distance between them intensified as the days
passed.
And yet, there she was, having spilled everything before him.
Embarrassed, Renee averted her gaze to the window, feigning ignorance of his presence and her own
confessions.
“Renee, I understand now, thank you.” Howard expressed his gratitude for her frankness.
After Howard exited the room, Marcelo seemed to snap out of his daze, holding the food thermos, and approached Howard.
He inquired, “How did you learn my wife was here?”
“A gentleman informed me,” replied Howard, his demeanor calm and courteous.
