Chapter 420
He said, âYouâre one of a kind. Whatâs the point of comparing yourself with others?â
His response made her happy, she thought she was special in his eyes. So she gathered her courage and confessed to him, âMarc, I like you. Will you be with me?â
Her heart was pounding, but he didnât even look up, âIâm still young, not planning to date. If you want to try out dating, go find someone else. Stevenâs a good choice. He doesnât have a girlfriend. You can ask him if he wants to be with you.â
His words hurt more than a direct rejection, but she wouldnât give up, âBut I like you, I only want to be with you. I hope you can be my boyfriend.â
He said, âI have no feelings for you.â
She expected this answer, but when she heard it from his mouth, her heart went cold, as if the world collapsed in that moment.
She sat dejectedly in the seat in front of him, almost screaming at him, âIf you donât like me, can you tell me what kind of girl you do like? What type of girl can catch your attention?â
Finally, he looked up, his cold gaze fell on her. Perhaps it was the first time he saw her so emotional. He frowned, and his tone turned cold, âAre you still Sallie?â
He meant that she was acting like those crazy girls chasing him, which was annoying.
She struggled to control her emotions, âThen can you tell me, what kind of girl would you
like?â
He said, âI will never fall for any girl in my life.â
He was so certain that she believed him, until he came to her, saying he wanted to give a dress to his wife.
Now, even though she decided not to worry about a man who didnât love her, thinking of his indifference on the day she confessed still
hurt.
Sallie smiled, âMarc, considering you rarely fall for a girl, Iâll help you one more time. Iâm sure youâre in love with Cornelia, otherwise you wouldnât care so much whether she accepts you.â
Marcus said, âComelia is my wife. I should love her, and I can only love her.â
For twentyâeight years, he never liked a girl. He didnât know what it felt like to like a girl. But he didnât mind liking Cornelia, because she was his wife.
Sallie understood him and didnât argue. One day he would understand his feelings, and she also hoped that he could be happy.
She said, âOkay, letâs not talk about your feelings for Cornelia now. Why are you calling me so late, whatâs up?â
Marcus brought up his concern again, âI plan to reveal my real identity to her, but Iâm worried she canât accept that Jeremy is Marcus. I feel she doesnât like Marcus.â
Sallie snapped her fingers, âMarc, I have a way to help you test Corneliaâs real feelings for Marcus. Only by understanding Corneliaâs true feelings about your identity as Marcus, can you make better decisions.â
Marcus asked, âWhatâs the method?â
Sallie replied, âYou sleep with me.â
