“Eat up quick. These are all your favorites. It's been a long time since you were able to relax properly.” Marius signaled me to move my cutlery.
I also started feeling a little greedy looking at the delicious food on the table.
Marius was right. The table was filled with my favorites, which made me smile after not smiling for a long time.
“Thank you. My nerves have been a little strung recently, so it’s good that I get to relax today.”
Marius became a little more natural when he saw me.
I had not been this happy ever since Theo and I got divorced. Marius must have been feeling terrible too.
“Sis Wan, let's just pretend nothing happened just now.” Marius looked at me with light in his eyes.
My movements slowed down slightly before I nodded. “Alright.”
“Friends?”
“Yeah, friends.”
I met Marius’ gaze and smiled.
I was very satisfied with this meal. Although Marius’ confession at the start made things somewhat awkward, at least our interactions became happier afterward.
Satisfied, we decided to go home, and it was at this moment, that a group of individuals dressed in black abruptly came storming up the stairs with knives in their hands.
They rushed at me the moment they reached upstairs. There was a ferocity in the leader's eyes, and the long blade in his hand was about to cut down on me.
Marius was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He likely did not expect such a thing to happen.
I was petrified and just stood there stupidly. I did not even think of dodging. Marius, who was beside me, quickly threw me to the ground.
