I was stunned when Marius asked this and recalled the recording that Delia let me listen to.
“It’s nothing. I just got distracted 'cause I was thinking of something just now.”
I forced a smile, wanting to muddle through this.
Alas, Marius was not a fool and could tell I was hiding something from him.
“What happened?”
I did not really feel like talking about it, but Marius kept pestering me about it. In the end, I finally told him what happened earlier in the day.
Things did not go as I expected. Marius was furious after he heard this. He immediately wanted to get things straight with Theo, but I stopped him. “Forget it, it’s better this way anyway. Theo and I are about to officially get divorced. We won’t cross paths anymore in the future, so it’s fine.”
I thought about the little things I shared with Theo before as I said this. Now, I just found those beautiful memories laughable.
Marius looked at me with a frown.
After a while, he said, “Sis Wan, I reserved a place at Julienne Hotel tomorrow night. Let me take you there so that you can relax and watch the night scene. What do you think?”
I did not overthink it and immediately agreed. “Alright. Let’s go, then. It just so happens that I haven’t gone out for dinner in a long time. I even cut my hand today.”
Marius could not hide the joy on his face at my answer, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. “That’s great. Let’s order some takeaway for tonight. You can relax when I take you out tomorrow,” he said to me.
“Alright.” I nodded.
The next evening.
I put on some casual clothes and went directly to Julienne Hotel. Marius arrived long before I did.
