Just when Jessie came back to the room, Mark came in.
"You... Why did you come back so soon? You haven't seen each other for such a long time. Shouldn't you have a lot to talk about?"
Jessie stammered. She felt anxious. She was afraid that he saw her at the hall gate and overheard their conversation.
Raising his eyebrows, Mark asked, "How do you know we haven't seen each other for a long time?"
"I... I just said it casually."
Seeing that Jessie was trying to avoid seeing him, Mark smiled and said coldly, "Bring me my clothes." Then he wheeled the wheelchair into the bathroom.
Jessie was confused. Bring him clothes?
He took shower! Why asking her to bring him clothes? Couldn't he take his clothes and go in there?
She pouted her lips unhappily and opened the wardrobe to take out a dark blue bathrobe and shorts in the same color. She walked to the bathroom.
Rat-tat!
"The clothes..."
"Bring it in." Before Jessie could say anything, the ghostly sound came out. Jessie went crazy. Then she gritted her teeth. Who cared?
Did he really take her as an innocent inexperienced little girl?!
Heavy mist in the bathroom!
Lying in the round bathtub, Mark sipped his wine leisurely. When he heard somebody come in, he started to talk slowly.
"Put the clothes down. Come here."
"……" Standing rooted to the spot, Leon was inexplicably nervous with his hands holding clothes, and her face flushed unconsciously.
"Well, what's up?"
"Talk to me."
"……" Jessie was stunned and stood there still.
Chat with him!
Here!
Before Jessie got any chance to react, Mark's voice came again.
"I know you have been curious about why I still marry you even though I don't love you... Actually, for me, as long as it's not her, it's the same to marry anyone." With these thoughts in his mind, Mark heaved a deep sigh and then picked up the wine. When he finished the wine, his deep eyes were filled with sadness.
It was the first time he had talked about her in the past seven years.
"She was a very lovely girl. She had black long hair and fair skin. Although she was not tall, when she stood next to me, it was just the clinging look I like. She really liked to laugh. Every time she told jokes, the people around her didn't laugh, only she would laugh happily. She was very innocent and kind. She was often cheated by others and came to complain to me tearfully. I always said to her 'can't you be a little smarter?'! She had always been fooled in the same way, but I found that she was just very kind, sympathizing with others...."
Kind, sympathize...
Mark always said that don't look at him with sympathy.
That would made him think about her.
Although Mark had his back to her, Jessie still could see his face, eyes and heart through him.
"And then?" Jessie asked softly.
"She... …… She was dead."
"Dead? Why?" Jessie got nervous and asked anxiously.
From Mark's voice, she could tell that he once loved this girl deeply. And she also knew that the ending between him and her must be bad. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.
However, she had never thought that the girl was dead!
Jessie knew clearly how hurt it would be for him if the one he loved left him.
