Howard was about to pick Renee up off the floor, an arm blocked him. "Howard, you're not the right person for this," Marcelo said to him.
Those words left Howard frozen.
Howard understood that Marcelo was asserting his position as Renee’s husband to him.
While Howard was at a loss for words, Marcelo already lifted Renee in his arms and exited the classroom.
As he held her, Marcelo immediately noticed her fever was unusually high.
He walked forward, taking big steps and moving fast, carrying her effortlessly despite her being an adult.
“Renee!" Susanna chased after them.
But by the time she made it downstairs, Marcelo had already placed Renee in the car.
Daniel emerged from the break room when he heard the noise, and upon spotting Marcelo carrying Renee into a car,
he found himself strangely irritated.
“Why do you look so upset?" Susanna caught Daniel's dissatisfied look. "They're married, after all!"
Despite knowing about Renee and Marcelo’s relationship, Daniel had never paid much attention to it.
Yet, seeing Marcelo and Renee so close together now...
What made it so annoying?
He heard about Renee’s age.
Was it because she and Marcelo had a big age gap?
He found Renee too young to be with Marcelo.
“Daniel, do you have any idea where Mr. King might be taking Renee?" Susanna looked at Daniel, clearly worried.
She was concerned for Renee and hoped Daniel could help ensure she was okay.
Back in the classroom, Howard observed Renee being taken away, staring at his empty hands, sensing an emptiness within.
“Howard, was that the same attractive guy we saw with Renee in the library yesterday?" one of the students asked Howard.
“Yes, that was him."
“He sure is good-looking. But why did you let him take Renee away? Aren't you into her? You should chase after them!"
Howard gave a bitter laugh. "She's out of my league."
“What do you mean out of your league? You've got looks, a great body, a solid family, and talent to boot. What's missing?"
“The guy she's with isn't lacking in any of those areas either."
