He inhaled sharply and frowned.
The pain sparked anger within him instantly.
She had pinched him so forcefully that his cheek began to throb.
Was there really a need for such strength?
“You pinched me that hard?” he asked in a low tone, clearly upset.
Dulcie quickly withdrew her hand.
Seeing the deep red mark swelling on his cheek, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
“You told me to pinch you, didn’t you? Are you saying I shouldn’t have pinched that hard? Besides, I didn’t really use that much strength.
You said you wouldn’t retaliate.
”
Kyson was left without words.
He had made that promise.
Despite the numbness and pain in his cheek, he resisted the urge to retaliate.
Curbing his anger, he asked, “Can you tell me now why you’re upset? Who bothered you?”
Dulcie shook her head.
She didn’t want toe across as a tattletale, nor did she wish to burden him with such matters.
She was not in the mood for another lecture.
“No one.
And I’m not upset.
”
“You’re lying,” Kyson said in a somber tone, started the car’s engine, and drove out of the underground parking lot.
Dulcie offered no further exnation.
They continued to sit in silence as they drove, the atmosphere heavy between them.
Dulcie kept her gaze fixed out the window, watching the streets recede behind them.
The scene she had witnessed in the parking lot lingered in her thoughts.

She was conflicted.
She realized… she might be crossing a Line.
It was only a one-year marriage contract, yet she found herself wanting more.
She felt jealous seeing him with another woman.
Unable to hold back, she asked, “Who were you talking to in the parking lot?”
“What?”
Kyson had nearly forgotten that brief encounter.
It wasn’t until Dulcie mentioned it that he thought back carefully.
“I think she’s from the logistics department, too.

Dulcie mentally reviewed her colleagues in the department.
