Chapter 872

"Don't mind me, I just couldn't help crying."

"You asked if I regret marrying you?"

“I'll tell you, I have never once regretted marrying you!"

Marie's tears flowed uncontrollably.

She used her hand to wipe them, but the more she wiped the more that

came.

It had been five years already! Yet Todd Shelby was still asking her to

give up.

What was he thinking! Treating her like some defective product!

If she could have given up, she would have long ago, why wait until

now?

Todd Shelby also felt awful inside. He said guiltily, "Marie, I'm sorry!"

Marie squeezed out a smile with great difficulty, "You don't need to

apologize, you did nothing wrong! The one at fault is me. I knew you

didn't like me, yet I stubbornly insisted on marrying you!"

Before Todd Shelby could get the words out, Marie pleaded, "Todd, can

you eat up all the refreshments today? I'm begging you!"

"Okay!"

Todd Shelby could only nod.

Disregarding image, he ate ravenously. But the more he ate, the more

bitter it became...

He couldn't bear to make Marie sad any longer.

But he had already broken Marie's heart.

Neither of them spoke again.

One crying nonstop.

The other silent.

Seeing Todd Shelby was almost done eating, Marie suddenly asked,

"That child has returned right?"

"How did you know?"

Todd Shelby looked up in surprise.

"Heh heh!"

Marie laughed mockingly at herself, "Did you really think that being

cooped up in this Shelby residence, I wouldn't know anything?"

“Not only has that child returned, he came back triumphantly like a

dragon returning to the sea, causing huge waves in Middleton. As

expected of your and Lian's child! He truly is a real dragon!"

When Marie spoke of Chris Shelby, she even had a proud expression,

as if Chris Shelby was her own child!

Praise and doting could be seen all over her face!

Her reason for inviting Todd Shelby today was not just to see him, but

more importantly to ask how he planned to resolve Chris Shelby's

matter.

"Sigh!"

Todd Shelby lightly sighed, “That's right, he's back! I originally wanted

to hide it from you, but I knew you would find out sooner or later.”

As the young miss of the Jenkins family, Marie had her own intelligence

channels even after marrying into the Shelby family.

It was impossible to keep happenings in Middleton hidden from her!

"So how do you plan to deal with it now?"

"Right now, rumors about his relationship with the Shelby family are

spreading outside. Are you prepared to let him return home?"

Speaking to here, Marie bit her lip, "If you really want to let him return

home, I have no objections!"

Swish!

Hearing this, Todd Shelby looked up sharply.

His eagle-like eyes stared fixedly at Marie.

In Marie's eyes, he only saw sincerity and purity, without any pretense

or fakery!

Todd Shelby was shocked! Truly shocked!

He didn't expect Marie to be so understanding.

As a stepmother, Marie was already in an awkward position to begin

with.

Yet now, Marie was willing to let Chris Shelby return home?

This showed how great her mind and great her love was to be able to

make this decision!

Because Marie clearly knew that once Chris Shelby returned home, the

future head of the Shelby family would undoubtedly be Chris Shelby!

She would have no more relation whatsoever!
