On the way back to the hotel, there was a dead silence in the car.
Marcel focused on driving and could hardly hear his breath. He completely ignored Natalie.
His expression was serious, and he didn't know what to think. The gloomy atmosphere around him completely shrouded the whole car!
Natalie was scared. After she said that, Marcel suddenly left her in the car and said nothing.
She had no choice but to follow him into the car.
He didn't wait for her to sit still and start the car, which made her almost throw her out!
She hadn't felt this kind of gloom from Marcel for a long time except when she saw Benjamin tonight.
She knew that Marcel was angry, because she said that if she was sentenced to more than five years in prison, he could marry someone else!
It was just these words that probably made him too angry!
"Marcel!" seeing that he was covered in anger, Natalie couldn't help saying, "don't be angry!"
The car screeched to a halt.
All of a sudden, Marcel stopped the car. He glared at Natalie with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to shoot through Natalie.
"Marcel -" Natalie called his name.
"Don't call me!" Marcel was so angry that he showed his emotions. "Natalie, no wonder you pretended to be Rae. You are ruthless. I don't want to believe before, but now, I have a deep understanding of it. How could you say that you want me to marry someone else? What do you think of me? I am the waste that you can abandon at any time? It's none of your business whether I marry someone else or not."
"Marcel, I'm sorry!" Natalie apologized in a low voice, "I'm afraid -"
"What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm a man of easy virtue? Do you think that I am so cheap and can be with any woman? If so, why should I be alone all these years?"
"Or what else can I do? Do you have to wait for me to show your affection?"
"You don't love me that much, so you give me to others!" Marcel's tone was even more displeased and he almost roared.
How come?
It was because she loved him deeply that she was so entangled and reluctant to leave. She was so worried that he would be lonely after she was imprisoned!
However, his understanding made Natalie feel very sad. She lowered her head, with sadness in her eyes.
"Say something!" Marcel shouted angrily.
"I don't know what to say!" Natalie said softly, "Marcel -"
"Well, you don't know what to say! Natalie, you're really something! Can I understand that you're protesting against what I said just now?"
"No, I don't." Natalie was a little tired. "I just hope that after I go in, you will be loved and not so sad!"
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
After a moment of silence, Natalie also felt that she had been too negative just now!
A touch of irony appeared on Marcel's face. "You can think about it, but you don't accept the professor's suggestion. Are you lack of confidence or you don't love me at all? If you don't trust me, I'm telling you, you won't be sentenced to five years! I won't allow that to happen! You may not be innocent, but you will never be sentenced to five years!"
Hearing what he said, Natalie's face went stiff. "Marcel -"
"If you say that again, just think about what your parents will do!"
Natalie was stunned!
She also knew that it was necessary to be mocked by him, but she also felt bitter when she really heard it.
And what about her parents?
What would her parents do if she had been in prison for so many years?
Her mother's body had been decapitated, and she can’t recover completely. What's more, she had been sent to a psychiatric hospital for two years because of her early death. What would she do if she knew that she was alive and her eldest daughter had been murdered?
Looking at Natalie's gloomy face, Marcel felt that his anger gradually subsided. He clenched his fists so hard that he trembled slightly. It took him a long time to calm down.
He really wanted to hold Natalie's shoulder and shake it hard to see what was in her head! Why she wasn’t so confident?
He really wanted to ask her, "Haven’t you suffered enough before? Who are you? Do you treat yourself as the Virgin Mary to atone for your sin?"
She hadn't harmed anyone these years!
Although she had lived in the name of Rae for five years and deceived everyone, she hadn't harmed anyone!
On the contrary, she suppressed Kane's revenge plan, so she also made contributions. If Natalie could make contribution to this case and Rae's case, she also turned herself in, so she will be given a lighter sentence! And he hoped that he could protect her and minimize the damage!
This was a man's dignity and responsibility, but Natalie was not confident and didn't believe him again and again!
How could she do such a thing?
She felt self pity in such a humble position!
He really wanted to scold her and beat her, but he didn't want to!
When he regained his memory and knew that she was Natalie, he could no longer be cruel!
So this time, when he was mad, he could do nothing but yell at her!
But he was really disappointed at her, very disappointed and heartbroken.
The heartache was so strong that it swept through every inch of his senses.
Marcel restrained himself and closed his eyes.
It hurt so much!
After shouting at her, Marcel drove her back to the hotel!
At night, Natalie didn't know what was wrong with Marcel!

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
