Only now did she understand it.
Once, she said that she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, but the result was not what she expected…
He became another woman's husband.
They were apart!
He fell in love with someone else, but he once told her he would never change his mind.
They were apart. "Marley, you cannot be together with her forever just like us! The promises you've made become nothing!"
Marley said nothing.
His heart was twitching.
Jemima's words embarrassed him. He indeed made Jemima and Sylvie promises that he would be constant in love. But…
When he faced Sylvie's pitiful face, he thought about the bad things he had done to her. He felt he was like a bastard. He would only lose his mind when facing Sylvie.
"Marley, why don't you part with her for a while? Then you can see how you really feel!" Jemima advised.
"Jemima, Sylvie is my wife! We will not part with each other!" Marley looked at her with anger. "Go home. I want to rest!"
With that, he got up to open the door.
"Marley!" She stood up and said in an eager voice.
Once, she was in his arms and whispered to him. "Marley, you are the only one that I can rely on in this world! You can't let me down! Marley, you are all I have. When shall we be married?"
"Marley, you can't give me up or leave me alone..."
She still remembered Marley's promises, but he had changed his mind! How ironic it was. "I just want our baby!"
"Impossible!" Marley interrupted Jemima without hesitation, "Jemima, you do not look down upon yourself or me! Let's just be friends. I will help you if you are in trouble. But we can never get back together! I do not beg your pardon. I feel unkind. We are doomed to be apart."
They had broken up. Even if Jemima left because she wanted to help Marley, Marley didn't want to be reconciled to her.
"How unkind you are! I deserve it! I should not pretend to be great and help your family. I should not let you work for your family!" Jemima accused him while sobbing.
Her voice became higher.
There was a pain in her eyes.
He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
Then he said, "Go back to your room! I want to return home, goodbye, Jemima!"
He didn't want to say anything more. He went into the room, closed the door, and left Jemima in the corridor.
When he went to the bathroom to take a shower, Marley saw the hickey on his neck. He suddenly realized Jemima left it last night, but nothing had happened between them.
Perhaps that was the reason why Sylvie vomited, hated him so much, and said some harsh words.
The memories about last night flashed through his mind.
Last night, he left with anger, ran to Jemima's room, and told her that he was sorry!
He felt sad and sorry for her.
"I'm sorry. Jemima, it is my fault!"
Jemima said, "Marley, I don't need your apology!"
"But I'm really sorry!" Marley tried to calm himself down.
He was angry about what Sylvie had done!
But she helped Hughes Group! What right did he have to blame her? She couldn't help him without reason.
To put it bluntly, he sold her body for money! It was a blow to his pride, though he did not want to admit it in front of Sylvie!
And Jemima?
He had loved Jemima for five years!
He was looking at her now!
She was wearing a long white skirt and stood in front of him with watery eyes. Her eyelashes were like butterflies' wings. The light set off a beautiful face and the sadness on her face became clear.
He let Jemima down!
He felt sorry for Jemima, but he would be sorry for Sylvie if he got back together with Jemima. He would rather feel sorry for Jemima. Marley felt himself too heartless and cruel.
"Jemima, I'm really sorry!"
"I don't want your apology! I want you!" Jemima threw herself into his arms and was unwilling to let go of him.
He lifted his arms and his arms were in the air. He hesitated for a moment and hugged her with his strong arms.

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