It was not until Marley turned to look at Sadie that she found out that the man in front of her was Marley. She immediately said, "Ah, isn't this Mr. Hughes? Er! No, my son-in-law? Hello! I'm Sylvie's mother. The girl is angry with me. She dislikes my background and refuses to admit our relationship. My son-in-law, in fact, I really miss Sylvie. Can I go to your house to see her often?"
As soon as the words came out, Marley narrowed his eyes. Sylvie Mccarthy's mother was really a philistine!
Without answering her, he turned to see Sylvie Mccarthy's back as he stepped down the elevator. He turned around and ran after her.
"Ah, son-in-law, I'll go to your house for dinner in the evening!" Sadie yelled at his back. Suddenly, her eyes rolled and a trace of satisfaction flashed by. Seeing the people around her, she immediately cried, "What are you looking at?"
The crowd broke up, and Sadie went shopping in high spirit. Right now she had nothing to be afraid of. She has a lot of time to deal with Sylvie. There was no way if she refused to admit their relationship.
Sylvie breathed a sigh of relieve after going out of the mall. She could never expect she would meet her mother in this way. What a small world. But he didn't expect that Marley would see the scene. However, he obviously didn't remember that Sadie and her were the same mother and daughter five years ago.
With a sigh, Sylvie walked towards the bus stop sign. Behind him came a low male voice, "Stop!"
She knew very well it was from her husband "Mr. Hughes”. Without turning around,she said, "What's the matter, Mr. Hughes?"
"Why don't you refuse to admit your mother?" Marley's voice was cold and his question was also very sharp. At least Sylvie found it too sharp to cope with, but it was her privacy. He forgot and she would not say it again.
Seeing her not speaking, he walked to her side, then turned and looked at her. “Are you afraid her presence will disrupt your life now? "
Sylvie smiled and asked, "Is Mr. Hughes concerned about my personal life?"
Hearing this, Marley looked at Sylvie.
He looked at her with sharp eyes, making Sylvie take a half step back.
Marley, with his eyes closed, opened his eyes again with a murders look. He said in a flat tone. "A woman who doesn’t call her mother is not worthy of my concern. Sylvie Mccarthy, I just remind you that I don't want your mother to harass me, that's all."
Sylvie nodded to understand, but suddenly she said, "Mr. Hughes, if someone harasses you, you can call the police and the police will help you deal with it."
Marley snorted and looked at her. He was interested as her tone was no long soft as it was before. “What would the police do if that person claimed to be my mother-in-law and there was a legal relationship?" he asked.
Sylvie was stunned, as if he realized that he was speaking in a bad tone today, and then whispered, "Sorry, I will deal with it!"
Marley interrupted her, "She threatened to go to our house."
"What?" Sylvie was sweating. She believed Sadie, a woman who had been in sex industry for many years would do what she said. Dignity was no big deal for such women, and they would do everything for money.
"She said she was going to come over for dinner tonight!"
"You can't open the door!" Sylvie said after a moment of hesitation.
She felt a bit headache. She couldn’t figure out that why was there a mother like Sadie in the world?
"What if she makes a scene and gets caught by those journalists?" Marley asked.
Sylvie thought Marley was deliberately making things hard for her. He was capable of dealing with a woman in a nightclub. Why would he be hard on her outside the mall?
He said again, "You'd better deal with this!"
"I will!" Sylvie also said softly, "If there is nothing, can I go first?"
Marley looked down and saw a flash of self mockery in her eyes, and with some sadness. He blinked his eyes and asked with mockery, “Sylvie Mccarthy, why do you marry me?"
Sylvie was surprised by his question, and she said with a smile, “if I said I love you at first sight, will you believe it?"
There was a faint smile on the edge of her red lips, and Marley felt so dazzling.
Sylvie smiled, looking at eyes cold eyes, “Indeed, I loved you at first sight, so I used this identity to marry you. You are only a tool of Patriarch. As for why he chose you, I think it is because of your ability, Mr. Hughes, I’m done. Can I go now?"
Sylvie knew that her words were very sharp, and it must have hit his self-esteem. Only in this way could he not show any mercy to a woman like Sadie. She did not want to make him suffer any negative influence because of Sadie, or being disturbed by her. In this way, he must not be hospitable to Sadie, but he must be very angry with her.
Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, Marley's face changed, but he calmed down in a moment. The flash of anger in his eyes made her tremble. She felt a little flustered and turned around quickly.
"Sylvie Mccarthy, what you said is true?" He suddenly opened up again and stopped her.

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