Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter 1741

Marlowe continued to gaze at the corner where Mitchel had disappeared, a peculiar heaviness settling in her chest that made her eyes turn red.

Clutching Mitchel’s coat closer, she pondered her melancholy.

Perhaps it was because of the festive atmosphere enveloping the streets, heightening her loneliness as she thought about returning to her cold, dreary basement.

Regret washed over her.

She wished she had spent more time talking to Mitchel just now, lingering a while longer in his presence.

The engine hummed to life, and the car pulled away, heading toward her run-down rental.

After pondering for a moment, Marlowe decided to retrieve her phone and send Mitchel a heartfelt thank-you message.

However, upon opening her bag, she noticed a stack of money inside.

Puzzled, she furrowed her brow, unsure of why such a large sum of money was in her bag.
