But at this moment, after repeated disappointments, she was starting to lose affection.

Her voice sounded harsh and venomous.
Mark swallowed hard. He tried leaning forward to kiss her lips, but Cecilia turned her face away.
With a tone as cold as ice, she told him, “Mark, is that how you see me? A dispensable woman? A sex partner? You indulge me whenever you’re in a good mood, but you push me away whenever you don’t need me.”
As Mark heard these words come out of Cecilia’s mouth, his countenance darkened.
Gazing at Cecilia’s troubled expression, Mark battled with his rising frustration.
“Do you view me that way? Am I just someone who wants intimacy from you in your eyes?”
“Didn’t you assume that?” Cecilia shouted in her heart.
She felt a wave of discomfort, her throat ached. She looked away in a sulk.
“I’m heading back to my room.”
Cecilia shifted a bit, and Mark’s hand instantly rested on her shoulder.
Mark’s gaze grew intense. He muttered in a hoarse tone, “Rest here.

The room was filled with an eerie silence.
