After Adam finished his fervent speech, the heavy atmosphere in the room began to ease.
The sheer conviction in his voice seemed to have done the trick, and the reporters shifted from being skeptical investigators to eager gossipers. One female reporter stood up, her face lighting up with a sweet, curious smile as she looked directly at Noah.
"Mr. Noah, since we now know the truth about your marriage, can you please enlighten us about how you two actually fell in love?" she asked.
Noah felt his stomach twist. He had reached his absolute limit for spewing lies, and the thought of coming up with a romantic backstory on the spot felt impossible.
He didn't want to say another word to these people. Remembering what Adam had told him earlier about directing difficult questions his way, Noah gestured toward the man sitting beside him.
"Ask him," Noah said quickly. "He will be able to explain it much better than I can."
