Just as Damian was about to respond, his eyes suddenly landed on her lips. The soft pink of her bottom lip bad a faint bite mark, now stained with a deep red, "What happened to your lips!"

Whitney pissed her lips together, the sting reminding her of what had just occurred. Noel had bitten her lip earlier, seemingly retaliating "Tamidentally bit my lip while eating." Whitney replied.

Seeing that Damian hadn't round Noel, Whitney breathed a huge sigh of relief..

"Now, can you leave? When Damian returned, Whitney's cold voice was tinged with anger.

Having failed to find the person he was searching for, he looked at the woman in front of him and felt a deep sense of betrayal.

His temper flared, but he clenched his fist, forcing himself to calm down. He needed her to understand that he loved her and didn't want a fight.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll leave now." Damian smiled with a hint of helplessness. "I was just concemed about you. My phone is always on. If you need anything, just call As Damian tumed to leave, his tace darkened again.
