Damian flashed a smile as he walked closer “Besides, we’ve never been so distant before.”
“That was before.” Whitney replied coldly, her tone silft.
Just as Damian was about to respond, his eyes suddenly landed on her lips. The soft pink of her bottom lip bad a faint bite mark, now stained with a deep red,
“What happened to your lips!”
Whitney pissed her lips together, the sting reminding her of what had just occurred. Noel had bitten her lip earlier, seemingly retaliating
“Tamidentally bit my lip while eating.” Whitney replied.
Damian’s expression darkened. He could see that this wasn’t a result of her biting her lip while eating. He knew it was the mark of a loss, left by someone else
He didn’t have to think hard to know who it was. She hadn’t responded when he knocked earlier, which meant Noel had been in the room with her.

Seeing that Damian hadn’t round Noel, Whitney breathed a huge sigh of relief..
“Now, can you leave? When Damian returned, Whitney’s cold voice was tinged with anger.
Having failed to find the person he was searching for, he looked at the woman in front of him and felt a deep sense of betrayal.
His temper flared, but he clenched his fist, forcing himself to calm down. He needed her to understand that he loved her and didn’t want a fight.
