Marcus felt a surge of frustration and unease as he heard Sophia's defiant words. Perplexed at the reason for her anger, he decided to call her back, hoping to address her emotions and bring some closure to their conversation.
The phone rang, and Sophia answered with a tense voice. "What do you want, Marcus?"
Marcus took a deep breath, trying to convey his sincerity through the phone. "Sophia, I understand that you're feeling hurt and rejected right now, but it's important for both of us to respect each other's boundaries. I am committed to Diana, and I cannot compromise that."
Sophia's voice cracked with a mix of frustration and vulnerability. "Why her? What does she have that I don't? I can make you happy, Marcus. I can give you everything you desire."
