She reached out to hold his hands. Their fingers intertwined. She comforted him with a gaze. She would support his decisions all the time.
"Marley, how can you have such an idea?" Marley's mother was shocked.
On the contrary, Aiden was calm. "Marley, do you think I am too partial to your cousin?"
"Yes, but I think you should have your own reasons! If you have no objection, let's make a deal."
"Let me think twice!" Aiden sighed.
"Alright." Marley nodded and looked at Sylvie. "Well, let's go for a walk in the garden!"
"OK." Sylvie put down the dish and walked out with him, hand in hand.
The scenery in the garden was beautiful at dusk. The sunset was diffused in the sky. Only when they walked to the flower bed did Sylvie raise her head and peep at the side of her face.
He looked back at her. "Are you mad at me because I didn't tell you?"
Sylvie shook her head, "Whatever you do, I believe and support you!"
"Really?" He was a little touched and felt very warm.
"Of course!" She put on a sweet smile. "In fact, I don't want you to be the president. I do not want to be the heir. I just want to be an employee and do what I like to do to make ends meet. I will have to drink and handle nights with different men if I am the president. It's not good for my health!"
"You are very satisfied with your present life!" He teased.
"Marley, what can I do?" She leaned against him.
"What?" He raised his eyebrow.
"I want to kiss you!"
…
"Whatever you do, I'll support you!"
"I might be penniless."
"You won't. You have me and the baby!"
"Rest assured. I won't starve you and our baby. Thank you for being so easily content, so I can make up my mind. Let Ernie take over the company. I don't want to involve myself no matter how it ends." He whispered in her ear.
"I agree with you. We can live a peaceful life together!" They would live a happy and peaceful life.
"I'll hand it over to Ernie in three months. Then I'll take good care of you. Tyler is setting about new projects. He and I will be engaged in the high-end information industry. I won't starve you!"
"I see!" She looked up at him, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips. "I can support you!"
Marley felt shocked, but warm and touched. He chuckled, "Sylvie, thanks for your consideration. But I am a man and have self-esteem. How can I let you support me? I can raise you. Though I am not rich, I can make you live a comfortable life!"
"Alright, you support me!"
Marley lowered his head and kissed Sylvie very hard. His wife was so considerate that she wouldn't force him. She was willing to live a simple life with him. He was so lucky to have such a wife. When he talked about the crisis of Hughes Group, Jemima asked him to sit by and do nothing. However, Sylvie was different. She even wanted to support him. As Marley got along with Sylvie, he found that she was a very righteous girl!
With a gloomy look, Ernie sat in the car and saw them embrace. He threw a sinister gaze at them and there was a touch of sadness in his eyes. He lit a cigarette and smoked.
The car door was opened, which interrupted Marley and Sylvie.
Kasper got off with his wife, Evie Holt.
Sylvie blushed, hurriedly let go of Marley, and pushed him away, but Marley held her more tightly. He snorted, "Don't be nervous. We're husband and wife!"
Marley was very dissatisfied after he was interrupted.
"Your uncle and aunt are here!" Sylvie whispered and knocked on Marley's hand.
Marley ignored them, threw his arms around her waist, and walked towards Kasper and Evie Holt. "Uncle, Aunt, good evening!"
That was the first time Sylvie had met Evie Holt. She was a very beautiful middle-aged woman, well dressed and with a good temperament. She looked just about 40.
Evie Holt was very cold, nodded, and said in a different tone, "You're Sylvie?"
"Aunt, this is my wife, Sylvie!" Marley said. " Sylvie, this is my aunt!"
"Hello! Aunt, please come in!" Sylvie replied politely.

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