Hello,Husband,Goodbye Her Request
I could sense Marcus' presence lingering behind me, causing my unease to intensify. Swiftly, I maneuvered myself away, desperate to create some distance between us. Although I knew he meant well, ever since the incident, I couldn't shake off the discomfort that enveloped me whenever he was near."Hey, why don't you team up with Marco to start baking the cake?" I proposed, hoping to divert Marcus' attention away from me.Marcus appeared slightly taken aback, but he swiftly regained his composure and flashed me a smile."Sure, let's get started," he responded, making his way towards the kitchen where Marco eagerly awaited our arrival.I caught a glimpse of Marco's beaming face as he observed us.

I know it's a big request, but I promise it's only for one night. I want us to have an opportunity to connect on a deeper level and truly understand each other."His sincerity was undeniable, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh as I settled down on the couch beside him.

"Well, we can't deny that you're a good father to Marco."As I savored my drink, Marcus poured his heart out to me. He had always been reserved, but tonight, he seemed more open and vulnerable. It was evident that he needed to unburden himself.With every word he spoke, I could sense the anguish and sorrow in his voice.
