The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 730

The moment I saw Caspian, a wave of guilt hit me. I suddenly didn't know how to look him in the eye.

His gaze was filled with a deep sense of loss, and he clearly looked hurt.

"Dr... Dr. Cross," I stammered, my voice unconsciously lacing with apology.

I felt awful. Caspian had been nothing but genuine and upfront with me. He had treated me like a true friend, and he had made his intentions to pursue me perfectly clear.

Yet I had completely hidden the fact that I was married.

It wasn't intentional. My marriage to Ferris had to be kept a strict secret, and we had literally been on the verge of finalizing the divorce. I was supposed to be completely single any minute.

Plus, I never had any intention of dating Caspian, which was why I hadn't felt the need to air out all my personal baggage.

Even so, standing in front of him now, I felt an undeniable twinge of guilt.

It felt like I had played with his feelings.

"Hey, Selena. You look exhausted. You've even got dark circles under your eyes," Caspian said, his tone entirely casual. He didn't sound angry, upset, or like he felt betrayed in the slightest.

He actually seemed more concerned about my physical health, immediately noting the exhaustion on my face.

I felt a flush of embarrassment. I hadn't slept well the night before. Today was supposed to be The Dissolution Date for Ferris and me, and my mind had been racing in circles for hours before I finally managed to fall asleep.

"I'm fine. I'm ready to work," I replied quickly.
