“Ellie, you don’t understand! Mark said he likes me! The more Lacey thought about what Mark had told her, the
more nervous she became.
Lacey continued, “We agreed we'd divorce after a year, and he even promised to treatto a big dinner! But
it’s only been a few months, and now he’s saying stuff like this!”
“Lacey, Mark already confessed his feelings to you. What do you want?” Ellie interrupted.
Lacey's teary eyes looked lost as she stared at Ellie. “I don’t know. | just feel nervous and scared. I've always
seen Mark as an older brother, but now... | don’t know...”
Ellie watched Lacey closely and understood. Mark’s sudden confession, coupled with the rumors about her and
Sebastian. had scared Lacey. She didn’t want to face Mark's reaction.
Ellie didn’t know how Lacey truly felt about Mark, but one thing was clear: Lacey cared about him more than she
realized.
“Lacey, no matter what, staying overnight with another man while married is wrong. Now that it’s happened,
running away won't solve anything. You have to go hand explain everything to Mark properly,” Ellie said
patiently.
“Layton said it’s my fault and that Mark should ‘drain the water from my brain,” Lacey muttered.
“Con, I'll take you home. Hiding here isn’t going to help,” Ellie said.

Half an hour later, Ellie finally got Lacey home.
“Lacey,” standing at the front door, Lacey tugged on Ellie's hand, trying to stop her from leaving.
“Lacey, this is between you two. Outsiders can’t interfere. You know Mark's temper-he’s always doted on you. As
long as you talk to him, it'll be fine,” Ellie reassured her, gently pushing Lacey inside.
A few minutes later, Lacey reluctantly stepped into the living room.
“Mark?” she called softly when she saw him approaching.
“Have you eaten?” Mark asked, taking the bag from her shoulder. Seeing her tear-streaked face, he didn’t ask
anything else.
Lacey stood by the shoe cablike a guilty student, not daring to lift her head.
Mark noticed and, after hanging her bag, walked toward the kitchen. “Go take a shower. I'll make you something
to eat.”
In the kitchen, he saw Lacey trailing behind him.
“Whatever you want to say, save it for after you shower,” Mark said, gently brushing her nose with his slender
finger before nudging her out of the kitchen.
Lacey awkwardly smiled and obediently went upstairs to shower. She wasn’t sure when it started, but she had
completely lost her confidence in front of Mark.
In the past, she'd been bold and carefree, saying and doing whatever she wanted without hesitation. She'd
rarely cried either.
But now, in front of Mark, she didn’t know what to say anymore. She constantly felt guilty and was always
apologizing. And, to her dismay, she cried much more easily than before.

She stepped out of the elevator and placed the bags down to unlock her door.
Next door, Alex stepped out.
The moment Ellie saw him, memories of his antics at the restaurant earlier flashed in her mind. Her expression
immediately darkened.
