After feeling the urgency in his gaze, Martha turned her head away, feeling a bit flustered. After a moment of silence, she shook her head gently.
Although marrying Ducasse and becoming a queen would allow her to be closer to the people in the royal family, she still didn't want to marry someone she didn't like.
Thinking of this, Martha pursed her red lips and bowed her head in silence.
Stefan saw Martha shaking her head, and the smile on the corner of her mouth widened unconsciously.
He gently embraced Martha, raised her chin slightly, and kissed her lips lightly.
He understood now that Martha still loved him; everything before was just an act to deceive him.
Now they were truly opening up to each other. After their kiss ended, Martha looked at Stefan with a slight blush on her face and whispered softly, "Actually, I really want to give up revenge and go back to find Jimmy with you."
"But I can't go; I can't just leave here."
After Martha finished speaking, her eyelids drooped, hiding the complex emotions in her eyes.
When Stefan heard these words, his heart ached, and he looked at her in distress.
He could feel that Martha was carrying a lot of burdens, which made it hard for her to move forward.
But it was okay because now she had him by her side; he could accompany her to face it together.
"It's okay," he said reassuringly. "We'll face everything together and find out who killed your mother."
"You don't have to sacrifice yourself because of the responsibilities you bear, I will always be with you."
Martha's eyes turned red, she reached out to wipe away the falling tears, and nodded slightly.
Stefan felt more and more distressed, and held her in his arms...
...
The night was always extraordinarily quiet, the moonlight shone on the earth, as if a layer of veil covered the earth.
When Martha returned to the Lucas family's castle, it was obvious that it was much deserted.
Since Gage was brought down and the Lucas siblings were punished, the family had become less lively.
Except for the old Mrs. Lucas and the servants, only she and Sam were there.
Martha's eyes darkened, and her red lips were tightly pursed.
Grandma must be very sad to see the Lucas family's castle look so desolate now.
After she walked into the living room, she sat on the sofa with a tired face, and carefully looked at all the furnishings in the living room.
She still remembered the first day when she first came here, the living room was lively, but now it seemed so deserted.
The next second, Sam's voice suddenly sounded in the living room, breaking the short silence-
"You're back."
"Um."
Martha looked up at the man standing not far away, and then asked suspiciously, "Why are you up so late?"
