The words " boyfriend hit Cassian like a thunderlot , leaving his ears ringing with a destening horr " You have a boyfriend ? " As if not understanding why his reaction was so intense , Mars nodded affirmatively again . She didn't see any need to hide it - her boyfriend was nothing to be ashamed of . After a pause , as if puddenly remembering something , the looked back " Oh , that's actually why we're back to plan our wedding . But after that , we probably won't be coming back again . If you want to attend , you're more than welcome . " Just as she finished speaking , a voice called her name from a distance , growing closer . She looked up and sure enough saw Noah approaching " Mara , what took you so long in the bathroom ? I've been out there to long I was starting to think you ghostad me . Halfway through his complet Noah finally noticed Cassian standing nearby , surprise flashing in his eyes . " Mara , who's this ? " This is Cassian Whitmore , CEO of Whitmore Group . He's from the family I told you about - the ones who sponsored my education . " Mara dider ' i pretend not to know him , openly making introductions between the two men . After a pause , she turned to Cassian . This is Noah Hartwell , my boyfriend . " That simple introduction cut Cassian twice . He never imagined there would come a day when he'd hear himself described by Mara merely as someone from the family that had once sponsored her . And Noah's presence completely shattered his last shred of hope , Before Noah appeared , he could still comfort himself that maybe Mara's mention of a boyfriend was just an excuse born from spite . But the moment Nosh showed up , he could no longer deceive himself Whether it was Mara's instinctive movement closer to Noah , or how she positioned him with respectful distance while placing Noah in the intimate -space , it was clear that even if they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend , they were definitely close . " Mr. Whitmore , I've heard so much about you . " Hearing Cassian's name , Noah's eyes narrowed slightly . His lips curved into a shallow smile , but the expression didn't reach his eyes . He'd only heard Mara mention before that she was born in a poor town where her parents favored sons over daughters , even planning to pull her out of school before she finished middle school to marry her off . Fortunately , she'd met the Whitmore couple then , who rescued her and sponsored her through college At the time , he'd never connected the Whitmore family that sponsored Mara with the Whitmore Group , so he'd never liked her to that foolishly devoted scholarship student who'd cared for the paralyzed Whitmore hair for fears , only to be discarded once he recovered . He could see the shock and pain in Cassian's eyes , and instantly guessed what was going through bis mind . After a moment , seeing that Cassian still hadn't responded , he suddenly smiled and extended his hand toward him " Speaking of which , I should thank you for letting her go The thanks was genuine . After all , if Cassian and the Whitmore family had known how to treasure her - considering how Mara , who'd studied desperately for over a decade to escape her toxic family , had been willing to give up her promising career without hesitation to ca Cassian - maybe if he'd just casually said " mary you " hack then , things never would have reached this point . The atmosphere between the two men instantly became tense . Mara looked back and forth between them , then casually said goodbye and left with Noah Only after they'd walked some distance did Mara gave Noah an odd look . " You're acting weird today . " He feigned confusion , laughing it off . " Weird ? How so ? You must be seeing things . The suitcase wheels rattled against the ground . After thinking for a moment , Mara figured out where this strange feeling was coming from and fab what amusing " Why are you jealous of him ? Seeing that she truly seemed indifferent , Nosh became even more displeased . " After how he and his family treated you , you really don't resent them at all ?
