At the dining table, even the maid could sense the tension between the couple eating dinner.
Roman's body emanated a cold, chilly aura that made Julie, who wanted to discuss what she had seen online and clear the air with him, zip her lips into a thin line.

The pain and distrust he thought he had overcome came flooding back, making him question everything about their relationship.
