Chapter 420
He said, “You’re one of a kind. What’s the point of comparing yourself with others?”
His response made her happy, she thought she was special in his eyes. So she gathered her courage and confessed to him, “Marc, I like you. Will you be with me?”
Her heart was pounding, but he didn’t even look up, “I’m still young, not planning to date. If you want to try out dating, go find someone else. Steven’s a good choice. He doesn’t have a girlfriend. You can ask him if he wants to be with you.”
His words hurt more than a direct rejection, but she wouldn’t give up, “But I like you, I only want to be with you. I hope you can be my boyfriend.”
He said, “I have no feelings for you.”
She expected this answer, but when she heard it from his mouth, her heart went cold, as if the world collapsed in that moment.
She sat dejectedly in the seat in front of him, almost screaming at him, “If you don’t like me, can you tell me what kind of girl you do like? What type of girl can catch your attention?”
Finally, he looked up, his cold gaze fell on her. Perhaps it was the first time he saw her so emotional. He frowned, and his tone turned cold, “Are you still Sallie?”
He meant that she was acting like those crazy girls chasing him, which was annoying.
She struggled to control her emotions, “Then can you tell me, what kind of girl would you
like?”
He said, “I will never fall for any girl in my life.”
He was so certain that she believed him, until he came to her, saying he wanted to give a dress to his wife.
Now, even though she decided not to worry about a man who didn’t love her, thinking of his indifference on the day she confessed still

Sallie smiled, “Marc, considering you rarely fall for a girl, I’ll help you one more time. I’m sure you’re in love with Cornelia, otherwise you wouldn’t care so much whether she accepts you.”
Marcus said, “Comelia is my wife. I should love her, and I can only love her.”
For twenty–eight years, he never liked a girl. He didn’t know what it felt like to like a girl. But he didn’t mind liking Cornelia, because she was his wife.
Sallie understood him and didn’t argue. One day he would understand his feelings, and she also hoped that he could be happy.
