His words left Summer Shawcross speechless.
He lowered his gaze, looking at her sharply, and his handsome face was sullen, still not looking good.
"I'm sorry..." she paused, unable to hold back her voice.
She knew her actions today had put him in a difficult position too.

Her sudden apology made Noah Drexler's face pause, and he couldn't help but frown.
Just as he was about to say something, she suddenly lowered her head and then leaned into his embrace.
He looked down at the woman suddenly leaning into his arms, and his sharp gaze softened a bit.
"Noah Drexler, the past is the past. Now that you have me, I can't let you take such risks." She leaned against his comforting chest, biting her lip as she spoke.
In the past, he could disregard his own safety because he was alone and didn't have to worry about such things.
But now, he's married and has a wife. She can't let him take risks.

As her words fell, the man's body stiffened a bit.
