"Tell me. Why?" Felix Preston gazed into Sonia Quincy's eyes, patiently coaxing her to voice the answer.
"Why did you want to die with me? Why didn't you want to live without me?"
Sonia Quincy's red lips parted. Despite her shyness, Felix Preston's coaxing had brought the answer to the tip of her tongue.
"Because..."
"Serves him right! I hope he never wakes up!"
Lynn Preston's voice, filled with anger and resentment, suddenly rang out from the doorway, shattering the romantic atmosphere between them in an instant.
Sonia Quincy snapped back to reality and pushed Felix Preston away as if she'd been burned, quickly retreating.
Felix Preston gripped her hand tightly, and the second she pulled away, he forcefully pulled her back.
"Running away?" The corners of Felix Preston's eyes crinkled as a mischievous smile played on his lips. "We're a legally married couple. Isn't it perfectly normal for us to sit a little closer?"
"I..." Sonia Quincy stammered, her face flushing crimson.
