When her face turned pale, Marley squinted his eyes. He had seen so many women who pretended to be pitiful, not to mention this woman. He loathed her so much.
Sylvie bit her lips so tightly that they turned pale. Her long eyelashes were moist and she just looked at the man quietly.
Seeing that she did not speak, Marley suddenly felt agitated. He looked down at her, “Are you in a period?”
She was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant. She just calmed down and her heart beat fast when hearing that. She looked at him pitifully and said, “It ended ten days ago!”
Hearing that, he suddenly pressed her, felt she was like a pitiful rabbit and his heart softened. He came to his senses, grasped her slender waist, and tore apart her bathrobe. She wore nothing since she just took a bath and then he came.
They were having sex…
After that, he turned over, got out of bed without hesitation, picked up the clothes on the floor and wore them. His gaze was cold and he said indifferently, “You’d better get pregnant, because I really don’t want to touch you again. You make me very sick!”
Sylvie closed her eyes, tears flowing down from the corner of her eyes. She did not speak but pulled the quilt and wrapped up her body.
When Marley put on his clothes, he turned his head and saw tears on her cheeks. Her face became pale and her stares turned blank. His red lips were broken a bit. Marley wanted to say something, but failed.
He threw a gaze at her. When he saw the patches of blood left on the bed sheet, he felt a little surprised. He pursed his lips tightly after seeing that. He turned around, walked out and slammed the door.
The door was shut.
Sylvie knew that Marley had gone!
She slowly climbed up, looked down at scratches on her body, green and purple. They were caused by Marley. She put on a sad smile, climbed down the bed and went to the bathroom.
She felt painful all over her body, tears in her eyes dripping. She had become a woman, Marley’s woman!
After they spent the wedding day, Marley left the house. Sylvie changed her clothes and the bed sheet after taking a bath. She lay down, feeling very painful and tired, and failed to sleep.
At dawn, she got up to brush her teeth, and wash her face. Holding a toothbrush, she looked at herself in the mirror and thought about the job.
When she was thinking, the phone rang, so she gargled quickly, and ran out to answer the phone. Sylvie looked at the caller ID with a light smile and answered the phone, “Good morning, Ryan!”
A low and elegant male voice came from the other side, “Sylvie, your house has been decorated. You can live in at any time!”
“Really?” Sylvie laughed. “Thank you, Ryan!”
“Don’t mention it. I’ve promised to give you a house after that building is finished. Live in the house that you design. You can be happier. Moreover, it’s the first commercial residential building that you design.”
“Keep it secret! Ryan!” Sylvie put on a sly smile. “I will move in tomorrow. I feel so restricted when I live in the hotel!”
“Manager Edwards in sales office has the key. You go to her and tell her your name. She will handle procedures. The house will be yours after the signature!”
“Ryan!” Sylvie said in a low voice.
“Well?”
“Did you sell it at a loss?” She asked.
“If you think so, hurry up to draw manuscripts!”
“Not yet!”
“I see!”
“I’ll contact you when I have inspiration!” Sylvie put down the phone, shook her head and laughed. It was uneasy to get inspiration, but she really need to work, since she didn’t have much money and she won’t ask Patriarch for even a penny.
She washed herself, changed the clothes and went downstairs. As soon as she walked downstairs, she heard a voice at the door. Someone seemed to be shouting outside. “Let us get in and ask Marley to come out.”
When Sylvie looked over, she saw several seniors. They seemed to be the uncles of Marley, and the Mccarthy’s shareholders. Sylvie did not know why they were here, and the servant stopped them at the door. “Sir, my master says he won’t see anyone on wedding holiday. Please go back home.”
“Screw you! What the hell are you? Let that bastard come out to see us!”
“Let him out!”
It got noisier and noisier.
Did Marley stay in the villa last night? She had not left her room all night, and had no idea what had happened outside. If Marley was in his room, why could he not come out?
When she was puzzled, a fierce male voice came from upstairs, “Let them come in!”
Sylvie looked back and saw Marleyin white sportswear as if he wanted to go out and run. He stood at the second floor and looked down at the door. His features were like the sculpture’s. When he found Sylvie was looking at him, a touch of coldness flashed across his dark eyes.
Though they were far away from each other, Sylvie could feel Marley’s distaste. She slowly lowered her head and did not look at him anymore. She felt embarrassed and thought it was impolite to go out like this.
She was going upstairs and intended to come down when the guests left.
“Stop!” He passed her and took hold of her.
Sylvie looked up in fear and met his enigmatic gaze.
“Since they like to disturb the newlyweds and couldn’t wait to see us, we should greet them, shouldn’t we?” With that said, he held her small hand came to the sofa.
Kasper, Teddie, Marley’s uncles and the others walked over. When they saw Marley and Sylvie standing together, they paused for a moment with an embarrassed look and felt it incredible.
“Sylvie, let me introduce them to you!” Marley introduced them calmly.
Sylvie peeped at him and felt that he had a strong vibe even if he wore sportswear. She didn’t listen to his introduction with attention.
However, Sylvie was very clever. After he finished, Sylvie found these seniors had angry expressions and seemed to come here denounce Marley.
Sylvie knew that Marley was acting with her. She didn’t nail his lie but echoed him. She said in a low voice, “Good morning!”
“Well! Good morning!” They seemed to fear Sylvie.
Sylvie knew that they had scruples about the Mccarthy family. She did not know how to face these people.
“Sit down, uncles!” Marley said in a light tone and stretched out his hand to pull Sylvie into his arms.
She wanted to break free and peeped at Marley. He gave her a warning look, and Sylvie could only stop struggling.
Kasper said, “Marley, we…”
“Uncle, I just get married. If you want to talk about business, please talk about it when I go to work.”Marley prevented him from going further. His tone was so cold that everyone could feel his displeasure.
***
They did not expect Marley would live with Sylvie in the villa. They thought that Marley opposed connections through marriage and would not agree to terms proposed by Patriarch. But it turned out that they got along well.
Some problems had not been solved. Kasper said, “Marley, we know you are on a honeymoon, and we shouldn’t bother you, but we haven’t receive dividends. We need to survive!”
“I’ve told you to talk about it in the company!” Marley’s gaze turned sharp and he held Sylvie’s shoulder so tight that she could feel much strength.
Kasper was still thinking about the dividend when the company was going bankrupt. No wonder the Mccarthy would encounter such a crisis andMarley had to solve this crisis by marriage. These shareholders only cared about their own profits.
Kasper was stunned and lowered his head. He continued, “Marley, I have no way out. Could you please give us some money?”
Marley looked at them indifferently.
Kasper looked at Sylvie, “Sylvie, you can call Patriarch and ask him to lend money to the Mccarthy as soon as possible.”
Marley tightened his grasp, but said nothing.
Sylvie did not expect that they would talk to her, so she turned her gaze at Kasper and smiled faintly, ” I’m sorry. I’m only Marley’s wife and take good care of him. I don’t interfere in your business since I don’t understand it! I believe that Marley will handle everything well. He made every effort to save the Mccarthy last time. If not, I believed that you could not sit here and talk about dividends! But your company has no net profits. Why do you think about dividends? Besides, Marley just took over the company. Should you give him some time?”
