Thus, she did not embarrass Marley Hughes in front of Ryan Babel.
However...
How could they even talk if she did not ask him to leave?
Sylvie Mccarthy was stunned while sitting on the sofa. After a while, she leaned against the back of the seat due to fatigue and she smiled with her thin lips vaguely. Her smile was slightly bitter because she could not explain the pain in her heart.
After taking a deep breath, she could reorganize her emotion. When she raised her head, she saw Marley was standing near to her and looking at her as if he was smiling at her. His hair was messy and his clothes were filled with creases. But, his deep eyes became more confident suddenly.
Sylvie admitted that Marley was not the most handsome man but he was the man who she had fallen in love with!
She could not forget that he gave her the crucial check in the nightclub five years ago. His eyes were dazzling like diamonds in the dark sky and his lips clearly outlined the arc of a smile. The moment was like a blooming firework and it was kept in the deepest section of her memory.
But, he was only one of the amazing people in her lifetime and his heart was not on her body!
Even until now, he was still making use of her only!
If this was the reason that made him unwilling to divorce, then she did not matter. She just wished not to disturb the peacefulness of each other.
“What are you thinking about?” Marley sat down opposite her and asked with a slightly unhappy tone.
Sylvie immediately pulled back her thoughts and raised the corner of her mouth. She turned her face sideways and calmness was being expressed by the corner of her eyes. She said indifferently, “Nothing.”
“Oh?” Marley looked at her with the corner of his eyes, “Since you don’t want to let Ryan know about our quarrel, it means that you want to maintain our marriage from the bottom of your heart! Sylvie, I don’t get you. Since you love me, why don’t you continue your love?”
Sylvie raised the corner of her mouth and wanted to laugh but she was unable to do so.
Her heart contracted slightly and the needle-like pain started to spread involuntarily towards her whole body.
She looked at his face which was slim and firm and also his moderately thick lips too. At that moment, he was looking at her with his emotional eyes as if she was a unique woman to him. How could he look at her with such eyes?
‘Marley, is this necessary to still make use of me at this point? Do you use your acting to make me believe in you?’
‘Marley, anyway, I really hope that you are happy. This wish never changes.’
Marley crossed his legs and looked at him with his deep eyes. He looked at her as if he was smiling, “Don’t you feel nervous just now?”
Sylvie indeed felt uncomfortable for an instance and she immediately said, “Yes. I don’t want to let Ryan know because he was going to engage!”
“Urgh!” Marley never thought of this reason but he also breathed a sigh of relief. “With whom?”
“Skyla Harvey!” Sylvie said calmly.
“Since you don’t want to affect his engagement, why not go back with me!” Although he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to grab this opportunity.
Sylvie remained silent.
Marley was waiting for her answer but in vain. He looked at her small face but he saw that Sylvie looked at him sneeringly with indifferent eyes. Marley could not help but choke because he felt panicked unexpectedly. He covered his anxiety without leaving any traces. How could he feel nervous? She was the one who did the wrong thing but not him!
Sylvie looked at the clock on the wall and said, “You may go back!”
Marley was slightly stunned and looked at her deeply. His eyes were looking over her delicately crafted face. “Together! Aren’t you going out?”
Sylvie stood out, “Fine!”
She seemed to be slightly exhausted and absent-minded. After a while, she said, “Then Mr. Hughes, please fetch me to the nearby market!”
Marley truly did not know what Sylvie was thinking about! He could only see that her eyes were indifferent. As if he always looked at the others through a soft and hazy tulle.
He did not talk anymore and followed her to go downstairs.
But, they never thought that they were surrounded by reporters when the car drove out of the area. Actually, the reporters followed Marley’s car and saw him entering the area. So, the reporters gathered and stayed outside. As time went by, many reporters were squatting and standing outside the area. They were just waiting for their presence with cameras, video recorders, and films.
When they saw the car coming out, they surged over the car. The hundreds of cameras immediately captured them. All of them rushed forward and surrounded themselves.
Sylvie who sat in Marley’s car could not open her eyes because of the spotlights. They were surrounded by reporters and Marley truly had no choice but patted on the steering wheel. He horned to ask them to leave.
But, none of the reporters was willing to leave. They continued rushing forward and some even leaned in front of the car. They took a lot of photos with their cameras.
Sylvie looked at Marley and knew that she might be unable to make clear of herself too.
Marley immediately reorganized his emotion and removed the seat belt. Then, he got out of the car.
At that moment, the reporters asked questions rapidly like they were throwing bombs.
“Mr. Hughes, I heard that your wife and you are separated...”
“Mr. Hughes, I heard that you stayed in the house of your previous lover, Jemima Wallace, last night...”
“Mr. Hughes, do you come here to ask for your wife’s forgiveness?”
“Could you reveal the next plan between the Hughes family and the Mccarthy family...”
Marley slightly frowned and looked at them. He could only say, “I love my wife Sylvie, very much. Jemima is just my friend! My relationship with my wife is very good. Please give us some space and I need to bring my wife home! Everyone, please make a move!”
Before the reporters could react, Marley had already got into the car again.
When Sylvie heard his words, she just felt that she was amused!

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