He had been deceived for far too long by her charades.

It was, after all, a matter of life!

Recalling her bewildered and vulnerable demeanor in the hospital, Marcelo found it impossible to remain angry with her.

“Do you now realize your mistake?”

“What…what did I do wrong?” Renee asked, genuinely puzzled.

Marcelo gently ran his fingers through her silky hair, expressing concern. “Renee, as I’ve mentioned before, being overly kind may not be the best approach. Why do you find it hard to heed my advice?”
