Marcus felt helpless after hearing what Annie said. He hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, “I’ll go back home and complete my tasks, then. Give me a call when you’re home.”

Annie nodded. “I will. Don’t worry. I’ll call you as soon as I get home!”

Marcus hugged Annie tightly as if he did not want to leave her alone. He looked intently at Aaron before turning and hailing a taxi to leave.

Annie was a little stiff after Marcus hugged her. She had been dating Marcus for a long time, but they never did anything particularly intimate. She always subconsciously avoided Marcus’s attempts to get close to her.

She treated her relationship with Marcus seriously, and she felt that Marcus was a genuinely good person. She just found it difficult and awkward to get closer to Marcus for reasons even she was unable to explain.

Amid her surprise, she heard Aaron’s gentle voice telling her, “Let’s get in the car. It’s getting cold.”

Annie snapped back to her senses. She looked into Aaron’s eyes and subconsciously avoided them. However, she nodded and accepted his offer to get into the back seat of the car.
