Jessie was absent-minded during the whole meal. No matter what Mark said to her, she would answer
him "Okay", "Okay" and "whatever". Seeing her like this, Mark had prepared a lot of words to say, but
now he could only keep them in him.
Noticing that Jessie was not in the mood to eat, the two of them had some food casually. Then, Mark
proposed to leave.
The awkward atmosphere continued from the dining room to the car. Unable to hold back anymore,
Mark asked, "Jessie, what's wrong with you today? I called you this afternoon, but the line was busy.
Who were you talking to? "
Jessie looked at Mark in confusion.
"Mark, do you regret knowing me?"
"……" The more Mark looked at her, the more suspicious he became. Mark was sure that something
was wrong with Jessie. It must have something to do with the phone call. "What are you talking about?
How can I regret it? The last thing I regret in my life is to meet you and marry you. Honey, what's wrong
with you today? Everything is fine at noon. Can't you tell me anything? "
"Honey..." In the face of such an intimate address, Jessie's heart twitched inexplicably.
Looking at her quietly, Mark was extremely anxious. His heart was like an ant on a hot pot. He was
burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
Even if Jessie didn't want to tell him, he could know what had happened, but he didn't want to do that.
He didn't want the misunderstanding between them to happen again. Their trust was like treading on
thin ice. If they didn't build their trust little by little, he didn't know what more terrible things would
happen in the future.
So the only way he could do was to wait.
After a long time, Jessie said, "Our marriage is not voluntary. In fact, you don't have to be so good to
me. It's really unnecessary."
"Honey, what do you want to say?" As soon as Mark heard Jessie say that he didn't need to be good to
her, Mark's heart began to shake uneasily. "I treat you well because I love you. You see, you have
disappeared for three years and I haven't given up. No matter what you say now, I won't let you go.
Don't say anything 'unworthy' to me anymore. I know whether it's worth it or not. I have been in the
business world for so many years, which proves that I'm not a fool. I know what I want. If you continue
saying that, I will really be angry. "
"But why do you love someone who wants to kill you?"
All of a sudden, Jessie argued loudly. Startled, Mark was stunned and didn't respond for a long time.
"Who told you that you wanted to kill me! Who told you that? " Holding her shoulders, Mark said word
by word, "Listen carefully, Jessie. I will only say this once. Listen carefully. Remember, even if we were
forced to get married and even if we had many misunderstandings, those were all in the past, and I
don't care anymore. I only know that I love you. I want you to be my lover, my family, and the closest
person in my life. I don't want to see you unhappy. I don't even want to frown. Jessie, don't dwell on the
past, okay? We still have decades to go. Don't care about those short months, okay? I don't believe
that decades of happiness can't compare with those months. "
Mark said in a sonorous and powerful voice. His expression was affectionate and touching.
But Jessie still couldn't believe what happened to her.
"But the fact is what happened can't be ignored. I did leave many seeds of hatred on you. I did shoot
you, which you can't deny. Because you just found me, so now in your heart, as long as I can stay with
you, you can ignore everything. But you can guarantee that, one year later, five years later, ten years
later, in the day we don't know in the future, when we have conflicts and disagreements, when we
quarrel, those things will still be thorns in our hearts, and they will never disappear. "
"Then what do you want?" Finally, Mark lost his temper.
He had made it so clear to her, but Jessie still had to come to the point. She had to say that he would
still care about those things. Yes, they couldn't change or erase what had happened. Was it just
because of these things that they didn't need to live?
Compared with the past when they had hurt each other, Jessie was much more important in his heart.
After experiencing the pain and the loss of three years, Mark really knew what was the most precious
thing.
When Mark saw that Jessie was stunned by his roar, he withdrew his hand, sat straight, lowered his
head and looked dejected.
Could it be that they really couldn't communicate with each other?
"Jessie, I know you care about the past. I know you have changed a lot these days because I saved
you many times. You are grateful to me, but you don't repay me. In fact, you don't love me, do you?"
Raising his eyes turned to Jessie and said, "Since we got married, although I didn't love you, I had a
responsibility to protect you no matter whether it was sympathy or feeling that we were destined to be
together. It was not until I found out that I fell in love with you unconsciously that my heart for you
became deeper. Therefore, no matter it is me, Lawrence or you, when the person you love is in danger,
you will go all out... I sincerely hope that you don't feel pressure for the way I have been protecting you
and doing everything for you. I don't want you to be with me because of this.
Jessie stared at him, confused.
What Mark said seemed to be reasonable, but how could she accept everything he gave so easily?
The car started. The two of them kept silent all the way.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the villa. "Go in quickly. You haven't slept well these days. Go to
bed early." Mark said.
"…… Aren't you going in? "
"No, there is a big project in the company recently. I guess I will be busy for several days. Just have a
good rest at home. If you want to eat anything, just tell Grace. If you want to go out, take two
bodyguards with you. Safety first. " Then she took out a black card and handed it to Jessie. "This card
should have been given to you three years ago. You can use it. You don't have to save money for me."
Looking at the card in Mark's hand, Jessie felt a lump in her throat and a lump in her throat.
"Mark, you..."
"Honey, go back to sleep. Good night. " Mark reached out, clasped the back of her head, lowered his
head and gave Jessie a deep kiss on the forehead.
'Jessie, as long as you are happy, I don't care anything.'
