Hearing that, a surge of fury exploded within Mary.
'How dare he?' The thought burned through her mind.
'Is he really trying to manipulate me like this?'
A bitter laugh escaped her lips, sharp and filled with disbelief.
"You actually dare to use something like this… after cheating on me?" she snapped.
The moment the words left her mouth, regret hit her like a sudden drop.
Adam froze.
He stared at her, completely stunned, his brows knitting together in confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
Mary fell silent, her lips parting but no words coming out.
Adam immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, his grip firm yet trembling slightly.
"No," he insisted, his voice tightening. "Tell me what you just said. When did I cheat on you?"
The sincerity in his tone made her heart clench painfully.
'Why does he sound so… innocent?'
A strange sensation crept over her, like thousands of tiny ants crawling beneath her skin, making her restless and uneasy.
