Marley once saved her life. He was her husband, and the man she wanted to marry to repay his kindness! But Jemima was his girlfriend who had been with him for many years. It was Cassius who broke them up! She didn't do anything, but now she knew all this. It was just like a thorn stuck in her throat. She couldn't vomit and swallow, but it hurt all the time.
It was time for her to let go! Since then, they would move on and have nothing to do with each other!
Marley was furious, but he felt that something was wrong. He looked at Sylvie's pale and calm face, and suddenly felt that his heart hurt! What a mess! He was unable to think anymore. He needed time to figure it out.
Sylvie thought that it was time to leave. Marley and Jemima should be with each other.
They were supposed to be a couple, and she was just a leaf of duckweed in his life, the fleeting leaf! From the beginning, she wanted to repay him, so there was no need to be resentful. Sylvie thought to herself. Do what she should do and mind her business! Forget about what other people may think! She was supposed to be happy! Why was her heart so painful? Was she reluctant to leave the man whom she fell in love with when she was a teenager?
Sylvie picked up the steak on the plate, cut a small piece, and ate it quietly.
She felt very hungry, and just wanted to fill her stomach. It seemed that only food could fill her empty heart! But her heart was still empty!
Marley was so angry to see that she was in the mood to eat! Seeing that she ate gracefully, he was maddened. In an instant, his cold eyes seemed to freeze the air, and his knife-like lips showed a cold arc.
Marley suddenly put his arms around her slender waist, pulled her straight into his arms, and looked down at her eyes. "Sylvie, it’s not done!"
Marley's sharp lips seemed to be able to split the air. He caressed her body wantonly, approached her tight lips, and said slowly in a ghostly voice, "You're still my wife. It’s not done. I will let you go like this!"
With an evil smile, he lowered his voice and turned to her ear. He gently breathed out a breath, "I miss your coquetry. So, Sylvie, you are really humble."
A chill sent through Sylvie's back, and she sneered, "Do you think you are you noble? It's ridiculous that you are blinded. It's really sad! You have nothing but a good appearance.”
Marley's eyes grew colder, which made her body tremble.
He didn’t expect that she said that about him! He was slightly interested. He would like to see who would win at last!
The mood in his pupil changed rapidly, and the mysterious smile shuddered her!
With a smile, Sylvie suddenly ignored him.
Marley raised his eyebrow with a sneer, stretched out a finger, and twisted her sharp chin. His clear eyes were like two sharp lights that projected into her eyes. "Don't think that I will let you go by saying that. I’ll take my time to settle the scores! You don't want to see me, and I don't want to see you either!"
Sylvie glanced at him coldly, her eyes wandering, "Do you think you can make it even?"
"Sylvie, I really regret marrying you!"
Sylvie retorted, "I also regret."
She sneered, "I shouldn't marry you either."
There were many ways to repay your kindness. Why did she have to do so?
Her cold expression made Marley's heart tremble. He raised his hand and tightly tied her arm. He asked aggressively with anger in his eyes, "What do you mean?"
Sylvie raised her hand and threw it away, trying to break free, but how could she stand his strength? She could only shout in a low voice, "Marley, look, no one in the world can accept the help of others and criticize others at the same time! The Mccarthy family is responsible for Jemima’s miscarriage and breaking up with you, but you should be satisfied that a child was in exchange for your Hughes family's stability! We don't owe each other! I’m no pushover! You can't argue with me again and again. I don't want to see you now! Please go out.”
"Damn it.” Marley pushed her down on the sofa. He stood up and strode away. He was afraid that if he stayed, he would strangle her!
The door slammed shut again!
Sylvie's tears came out the moment when the door was closed!
Sometimes, she was so envious of Jemima who could cry and laugh whenever she wanted and act like a child in a man's arms, being spoiled by that man!
However, she was not that kind of person after all. She was Sylvie, who depended on herself. How can she be qualified to act like a child?
Because no one had ever offered a hug for her, and the man who once provided a warm embrace for her was on a whim. All his promises were just empty talks.
She told herself not to believe men's words and women shall rely on their own life!
She quietly finished what she should eat, but when she was full, she felt sick again!
Not knowing what was wrong, Sylvie felt very tired and didn't think about it. After taking a nap, she got up again and went to meet several foreign students. She picked two talents!

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