She left without her mate's consent.
I saw that the smile on Kate's face had suddenly disappeared. I knew I didn't need to ask to confirm this with her. She must not have told Alex that she was coming here.
I hesitated before asking softly, "Why are you doing this?"
Anger flashed across Kate's face and disappeared very quickly. I almost thought it was an illusion. Kate lowered her head and said expressionlessly, "There's no reason. I just wanted... to leave and relax."
Kate looked down at her watch. I noticed that it was a new accessory.
Kate didn't have the habit of wearing a watch before, but it was a classic and serious lady's watch, unlike her usual style.
I grabbed Kate's hand, and I could understand Kate's current mood and situation. After all, I also had a not-so-friendly time with my mate.
