The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2656

I saw Marius and Luna chatting pleasantly, but the smile on Marius’ face seemed more like a storm to me.

I regretted doing this.

Time slowly passed, and Marius finally escorted Luna out of the restaurant. I followed Shannon, and we only showed ourselves after seeing Luna get into a cab.

Shannon placed a hand on Marius’ shoulder and smiled. “What do you think? Miss Blanche is pretty good, no? I noticed you two talking pleasantly just now.”

He did not answer Shannon but set his gaze on me who was behind her. He walked to me, the smile disappearing from his face. "Did you set Miss Blanche up for me?”

"Didn’t we already say with did it together—”

"You, quiet. I want to hear her speak.” Marius cut Shannon off and turned his gaze to me, expression serious.

I knew I failed to handle this matter properly. Opening my mouth, I said a little nervously, "I just thought how nice it’d be if you had someone with you.”

Marius cast his face to the side, only looking back at me after a long time passed. He let out a chuckle that sounded harsh in my ears. "You want to get rid of me. That’s why you tried to introduce me to someone. So that I wouldn’t pester you anymore, right?”

"N-No, I—”

"You didn’t have to do this. If you thought that my presence was affecting you, you could have just told me and I’d disappear." I could tell Marius’ disappointment when he said this.

I could not help the tears forming in my eyes. I was feeling a little aggrieved and sad. I struggled to open my mouth. "I didn't think about it like this. I just really hoped that you could be happy. I meant nothing else.”

"Wish I could be happy... It seems you really don't understand what I want.” Marius shook his head and laughed silently.

I noticed the deep emotion hidden in his eyes before it disappeared again. This must have really hurt him. "Marius, I'm sorry. I didn't know that this would hurt you. I really didn’t mean anything else by this.”
