"I... I want to go inside."

Alexander didn't say a word. He remained where he was, not moving at all.

Mary shifted under his gaze.

"At first, I didn't want to come home because you weren't here. I felt sick staying here alone." "You aren't alone. You have the maids and Butler Brooks." "And you?" Mary said softly. "What about you?" "They are here, but you aren't." She drew in a breath before continuing. "I can understand that our marriage started out as a contract where both parties gain something from it.

    Alexander sat in the car, his brows furrowed as he tried calling Mary again. No one picked up. His grip tightened around the phone. He closed his eyes and drew in a slow breath. “Drive faster,” he ordered, his voice cold and low. “Yes, boss.” David responded immediately and increased the speed of the car. A few minutes later, they arrived at the airport. Alexander entered through a private back entrance alongside his assistant. They quickly checked in and boarded the plane back to Philly that same night. The next morning, Barbara arrived at the hospital very early to deliver breakfast to Mary.

His voice was low and hurried. "Is there any other problem?" David asked. Butler Brooks hesitated for a moment. His grip on the phone tightened slightly. "No. This will be all for now." "Alright," David replied before ending the call. Butler Brooks slowly lowered the phone and let out a long breath. "I should have just told him the issue at hand. Poor young master.
