"Sylvie, come on! Apply the medicine for me," Ernie ordered.
Ignoring him, Sylvie handed the alcohol in the medicine box to Mrs. Sabrina and said, "Mrs. Sabrina, you can apply the medicine for Ernie! I'll give this to Marley!"
"Alright! Sylvie, you and Marley go upstairs. On the third floor, the room to the right is the young master's room. I've got it ready for you!" Mrs. Sabrina said kindly with a smile. She could figure out something seeing that Marley and Ernie were injured. But her proposal separated Marley and Ernie.
"Dad, mom, uncle, we're going up!" Sylvie said politely. With the medicine box on her hands, she took him by the hand and went upstairs regardless of Marley's words.
Marley, who was very angry, immediately got up to follow Sylvie upstairs after seeing that Ernie was staring at Sylvie.
Ernie curled his lips indifferently.
Pushing open the innermost room on the third floor, Sylvie was shocked by the layout inside. The walls were white mostly, and the one near the window was decorated with light cyan. The curtain was gray, without any embellishment, which was very simple.
Inside there was simply a bed, an old-fashioned sofa with a colorful sofa seat cover. The sheets were dark red. Mrs. Sabrina seemed to pay special attention to it and put a rose pattern on the head of the bed.
Sylvie was slightly stunned at a glance!
And so was Marley.
It was indeed a bridal chamber!
The bedside was also full of bears and dolls of different sizes. Tulips were planted on the windowsill, and the leaves were lush. But every toy was in pairs. Even toothbrush and towel cups were for couples!
It was obviously a room for a couple.
My Goodness?
Sylvie was shocked by Mrs. Sabrina's loveliness. She took a look at Marley, only to find that his face was swollen with blue eyes, and blue chine, looking like a pig.
Sylvie sighed that he could still be beaten like a pig no matter how good-looking he was originally!
She burst out laugh at the thought of it.
Suddenly, Marley cast a cold glance at her.
He stepped forward, pulled her and held her into his arms. He held her tightly, and sense of suppression in the chest. He asked fiercely, "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing!" Sylvie controlled the urge of laughing and said, "Let me apply the medicine for you."
"Make it clear to me!" Marley asked in anger, "Are you happy to see me fighting for you?"
Sylvie looked at him helplessly, ceased to laugh and said, "Marley, I don't want to fight. I have something to say. Just a few points. Listen. First of all, I don't feel happy at all that someone is fighting for me. Second, I have never felt that fighting is the way to solve problems. Third, your performance today is a little too much. He clearly wanted to irritate you and destroy your image, but you are still fall for it! Fourth, Ernie is a bit enigmatic. I can't figure out what he wants to do. But he is not interested in me, so you should totally be relieved. Last, I'm not a beauty. There are so many women who are more beautiful than me. If there was something to be worried, you'd better worry about others! That's more likely!"
With that, she went to the bathroom to wash the towel.
"Wait a minute." Marley stopped her. Sylvie's steps became stiff, and he said in a deep voice, "There's nothing between me and Jemima anymore. We've moved on. I can't change anything. Everyone has the past, that can't be changed. You don't have to tell me this! Sylvie, it's you who are living with me now. You'd better understand that."
Sylvie lowered her head, pursing her lips.
They once loved each other and now they went different way, not to mention that they never loved each other?
With a smile, she turned around and strode to the bathroom. Marley noticed that her eyes were particularly red when she turned around.
And she would never tell others that she loved this man. If she couldn't get all of him, she would rather not have him altogether. She was obsessional about the fidelity of her spouse.
After washing the towel, she came out, and Marley looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Let's get started!" Sylvie said again.
"When he kissed you, why didn't you refuse?" He asked Sylvie in a vicious voice, "Is it natural for you to be kissed by another man?"
Sylvie was stunned and looked at Marley, who was full of jealousy. She didn't expect that he was such a traditional man after all those years of studying abroad.

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