True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 387

"I can't afford your love," Simon Brown said, his eyes distant and cold. He then added, "I have always thought of you as a woman with principles. It is only now that I finally discern your true self. You're such an unscrupulous woman."

"No, I'm not. Simon, I'm not that kind of woman. Please don't say that about me. I want to be with you because I really love you." Marry Smith answered as she shook her head. Her teeth sank deep into her lower lip, almost causing it to bleed.

"Then tell me, did you really drug me that night?" Simon questioned.

Marry froze and she wanted to shake her head instinctively.

However, when she saw Simon's disappointed eyes looking at her, she couldn't help but feel flustered.

"Simon!"

"Tell me! If you dared to do it, why don't you dare to admit it then?" Simon suddenly growled, his voice full of anger.

"Yes!" Marry was so anxious that she shouted loudly. She claimed, "I drugged you because I love you. I couldn't bear watching you and my sister stay with each other. If I didn't drug you that day, you two would have been together. She would have confessed her love to you. I'm glad that I drugged you on that day. You've become mine, and I became yours. We're a perfect match." Hearing Marry's confession, Simon's heart ached. He did not see this coming at all.

So... he was really drugged that night after all.

Marry kept babbling. He never thought about it that way because he was afraid to seek the truth.

If it weren't for Marry, Grace would have confessed her love to him. That night, they would have been together and Grace would have become his woman.

Grace, not Marry.

What a twist of fate!

At this instant, Simon sighed in his heart.

This was so maddening, but he couldn't find a way to release his fury.

Everything had completely changed.

Everything had gone off track.

He hurt Grace. Even after they reunited, he doubted and questioned Grace.

Disheartened, Simon looked at Marry and asked, "Then, what about the child?"

Marry froze and color drained from her face there and then.

"You wanted to frame Grace, but you didn't succeed. Just like what Alice and Grace said, you were not pregnant. However, later on, you were pregnant, and eventually, you lost the baby.

All these are lies, aren't they?"

Marry's eyes were full of fear.

Looking at Simon being consumed with rage, she got scared and shivered for a moment. Then she retorted, "Yes, I wanted to hurt her. I was not pregnant in the beginning, but I got pregnant eventually. I didn't know about it until I miscarried."

"Why did you do that?" Simon snapped, "Why?"

"Because I love you!" Marry shouted and continued saying, "I love you very much. Simon, I was so afraid to lose you. I tried painting Grace in a bad light so that you'll hate her!"

Simon was astounded. He couldn't believe his ears.

He was bewildered that the woman standing in front of him would do all these.

"I am afraid of losing you. Whenever I see you looking at Grace with so much love and tender in your eyes, I will get extremely jealous. I just couldn't wait to kill her.

Whenever I try to please her, I actually wanted you to see me as a kind, unselfish woman.

But in fact, I'm petty, and I feel so indignant in my heart.

I didn't want to smile at her at all, and I didn't want to be nice to her.

However, I care about my position in your heart and your impression of me.
