    “I’m here to teach,” he replied.


    Scarlette remembered his position as a professor at the university.


    “But you epted this position to be closer to me. We’ve already talked things through. Your presence here is no longer necessary.”


    Kenji’s gaze remained impassive.


    “We’ve spoken, but the matter remains unresolved. I haven’t abandoned my pursuit of our marriage.”


    “But I’ve made my decision,” she countered.


    “Why waste your emotions on a futile endeavor?”


    “Why rush? Nothing is set in stone,” he countered, his gaze lingering on her lips. He gently brushed his fingers against her lips.

    Kenji observed her expression, a glint of amusement in his eyes.


    “When, precisely, did you miss me?”


    Scarlette, with a mischievous glint in her own eyes, replied, “The other day, while camping with my friends, I noticed the physiques of some of my male ssmates. None of them couldpare to yours.”


    Kenji found himself inexplicably pleased by her admission.


    “Do you have any ns for this evening?” he inquired.


    Scarlette pondered for a moment.


    “Not for now.”


    “Then I suggest you join me at my residence.”


    “For what purpose?” she questioned.


    “For entertainment,” he replied, his gaze lingering on her.


    Kenji put on his spectacles and proceeded to the tform to start the ss.
