Matthias was worried that his wife would get jealous again, looking at his current position as if being teased by Amber. He slowly backed away and took the bouquet of roses that Amber had painstakingly bought for him. Now he didn't want to be shy with Amber. It was time for him to clarify their relationship, which had always been just friendship, nothing more. He had been fed up with facing the same situation for a long time. If Amber were the one who had harmed his wife, he would imprison her without hesitation.
"Amber, I think I forgot to tell you. Victoria hasn't liked flowers recently. Her nose is very sensitive to floral scents."
"Then, this rose is for you. As a token of my concern for you."
"I don't need your attention. We're just friends, so why are you acting so over the top?"
"Matthias, you never refused my gifts before."
"Things are different now. I don't know why, but I've been feeling increasingly uneasy lately. Whenever there's a problem, you're always there."
