Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 53

"Marlon, here you are!" Alicia smiled as she came in and reached out to take Marlon's hand. However, Marlon pretended not to see her and dodged her hand. Alicia's smile turned awkward for an instant, but then she managed to shake it off.

"Marlon, it's so late. Mr. Charles and Rachael need to rest. Come back with me!" Alicia once again reached out for Marlon's hand.

"I'll sleep here tonight!" Marlon said coldly and pushed away her hand, saying sternly, "You go to sleep yourself!"

Alicia's smile finally froze, but Marlon looked away from her. Then she ran out with a long face.

I should be happy to see this. I had only seen Marlon doting on her. But just now, Marlon snubbed her for the first time. I only felt sorrow and no joy.

"I'm going to take a shower!" I said to Kieran and went into the bathroom.

The cold water trickled down on me, but I couldn't feel its chilliness. What happened in the garden played back in my head over and over again, turning my heart to ice. I thought I would cry, but my eyes were dry.

Perhaps, I had known the answer long ago, but I just wouldn't face it, so that when I heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't be devastated.

Alicia said everyone could tell that I loved Marlon from the way I looked at him. So, how could a smart man like Marlon not notice it after spending four years with me?

It was just I had been deceiving myself, assuming that as long as Marlon didn't expose my crappy lies, I could stay with him. How pathetic!

Nonetheless, he told the truth after all!

Alright. At least I could stop lying to myself and finally be free, because there was no reason to hold on to him anymore.

Marlon, from now on, I was done loving you.

From this point onward, I would pay you, the Cornells, and Alicia back with the cruel pain you inflicted on me. I would take back my dignity and kept my head high in front of you.

Because I no longer loved you!

The cold water flowed down and I smiled at myself.

I stopped thinking about that and wanted to blow my hair dry. However, I couldn't find a hairdryer in the bathroom, so I walked out of the bathroom with wet hair to look for it. Although I had wiped my hair with a dry towel, water was still dripping down from my neck and into my collar. Marlon's eyes darkened when he saw me. Squinting, he said coldly, "Rachael, as a woman, you have no shame. You actually left the bathroom like this!"

I pretended not to hear him and kept looking for hairdryer. I had heard such hurtful words from him countless times, so I was already numb to them. Besides, my pajamas were conservative, and even my arms weren't exposed. Did he want me to wrap myself in quilts in summer?

Moreover, I was innocent, so I didn't fear his accusation.

"Mr. Redford, Rachael can wear whatever she wants in her room, and I hope she is wearing less clothes!" Kieran smiled happily and said, "She is just covering her skin because there is an outsider in our room!"
