Medical staff were on the verge of moving in to restrain Clarissa when she rushed into the comforting arms of Marc, her eyes filled with tears. “Marc. I just missed you. I wanted to come and see you. You promised to protect me for a lifetime…

Pearl observed the scene with a cold, detached gaze, like a bystander.

Alifetime, huh?

“A man who had never been one to make promises easily had now committed a lifetime commitment to her. It left her pondering the depth of his love required to speak such words”

Mare found himself firmly embraced by Clarissa, struggling to find a way to extricate himself from her grip.

Instinctively, he raised his he squeezed tightly.

In that single glance, he understood that all the efforts he had put in during these days had gone in vain.

Pearls silhouette swiftly vanished into the crowd.

Her pace was brisk, and Mason and the others had to jog to keep up. They observed as Pearl nearly collided with someone ahead. Before they could intervene, she bumped into the penon.

As irritation surged within her, she was on the verge of losing her composure when a playful voice from above chimed in, “Is there a wolf on your

Their assistant, standing nearby, nervously scanned the surroundings, concerned that their movie star might attract the paparazzi. If that hug had been photographed, it would undoubtedly have become a trending topic, which could be a hassle to deal with later.

“Henry, there’s quite a crowd here. Let’s hop in the car quickly.”

Pearl had only just realized Henry’s identity. She was the last person who wanted to draw attention. She hurriedly ushered him into the car.

Clarissa had to put considerable effort into convincing the approaching medical staff that she was perfectly sane. She explained that her recent behavior was a light–hearted joke among friends,

The medical staff felt somewhat deceived for making the srip and scolded them sternly.

“If you’re in good health, let’s act accordingly, shall we? Why waste valuable medical resources with all this public display of emotions and theatricst Are we shooting a soap opera here! Is that our intent?”

Clarissa mustered a wry simile while muttering a series of unspoken curses aimed at Pearl under her breath.

Once the medical staff departed, Clarissa sighed a long sigh of relief. She swiftly turned around, only to find Mare standing nearby, his face deeply contemplative. His hands hung at his sides, and his gaze scanned the crowd as though he were searching for something.

However, she saw him passionately kissing Pearl only moments ago, and it was as if her entire world had collapsed

Despite all the time they had spent together, Mare had never initiated a kiss with hert

At that moment, she felt a surge of panic.

“You may not have intended it, but your actions spoke otherwise.

Marc calmly withdrew his sleeve from her grip with a calm demeanor, his gaze icy as he continued, “You’ve placed me in an awkward spot, and it’s not the first time” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
