The maid brought me a plate of breakfast with the same contents as Marcus’.
I kept my gaze on Marcus.
After talking to Ashton on the phone last night, I kept wondering if Marcus had indeed changed.
“Letty, if you keep staring, I shall be under the impression that you’re going to change your mind.”
Marcus wasn’t even looking at me when he made that startling announcement.
I hurriedly calmed down and returned. “I don’t understand. What is it about?”
Marcus stopped and met my gaze, seemingly amused. “Choosing to be with me, of course.”
Just as I had expected, he was a changed man. Yet, his obsession with me remained unchanged.
Now, he was no longer my protector. He was the culprit behind my son’s kidnapping.
I sneered. “I never knew you are so full of yourself.”
I wanted to provoke him as he might reveal something important, but Marcus remained unfazed. Alas, it felt like I was punching at cotton. Nothing I said or did manage to elicit a response out of him.
He flashed a grin and asked, “Why are you so obsessed with Ashton?”
What is Marcus up to?
It’s clear, isn’t it? Why is he trying to stir up trouble?
I returned the question to him. “What do you think?”
Hearing my question, Marcus frowned as he fell into deep thought. After a while, he answered, “I don’t think he captivated you. You’re a soft-hearted woman, so you must’ve stayed with him as you sympathized with him. Also, you already have kids with him.”
