The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 731

"Ferris can't be considered cheating on our marriage. He and Zoey aren't actually in that kind of relationship. They..." I instinctively tried to defend Ferris.

However, Caspian interrupted again before I could finish. "I don't care if he did or not."

His voice was a bit loud, startling me and drawing curious glances from passing colleagues.

Embarrassed, I quickened my pace. Caspian fell silent, following closely until we reached the elevator.

This time, his voice was very low and slightly rushed. "Selena, I only care about you."

"I only care about how you feel. I can tell you aren't happy. Even if you and Ferris are still married, you're miserable. So, Selena, I support your divorce. When is the cooling-off period over? Let me go with you to get the paperwork done."

I was completely bewildered.

I'd only mentioned that things were bad between Ferris and me before, and that we were getting a divorce then. I never said I wanted a divorce now.

Did Caspian misunderstand?

"Thank you for caring. I know you're worried I'll get hurt, Dr. Cross. As a friend, you're wonderful and really look out for me," I said, taking a deep breath to explain clearly. "But I've changed my mind. We probably aren't getting divorced after all."

It was better to clear things up all at once to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Caspian was a great friend, but that was all he could ever be.

Nothing could happen between us, and I didn't want him holding onto any romantic hopes. I still wanted us to be friends.

"You changed your mind? Why? Ferris treated you terribly, Selena. You told me yourself that you'd never go back to him, that there was no way you two could start over. You said you were going to move forward." Caspian grew even more anxious.
