Henry opened the door, arranged the fruits and vegetables, then returned to the living room, sitting across from Jessica. Slowly, he said, "He was a prince of the piano since he was a child, Mama. Anyway, whenever you see him in the future, just keep him as far away as possible! He can easily investigate Dad's whereabouts, so he knows about your relationship with him. He has malicious intentions. Hmph!"Jessica didn't need Henry's reminder. She knew she should always avoid such a dangerous person. But Saxon suddenly appeared in front of her, asking her to be his lover. What kind of trick was he playing out?He knew she belonged to Mr. Marcus. Could it be that he wanted to tempt her into falling for him and hurt Mr. Marcus?If that were the case, he was truly a bad guy. If two men were at war, they should rely on their real skills. What's the point of involving women?"Baby, do you have any opinions about Saxon?""Of course!" Henry furrowed his brow deeply and said in a deep voice, "Fi
"Mummy, just don't let Daddy find out what you've been thinking, otherwise, I bet you'll be in for a miserable punishment," Henry chuckled elegantly. His dear father's temper, if he knew what she was thinking, he definitely pounce on Mummy and demonstrate his straight identity and superlative sexual prowess.Even a child would know that!Jessica shook Henry and kicked him, "You won't betray me, right?""Of course not, I love you so much, Mummy!""You've betrayed me numerous times!" Jessica stated a fact expressionlessly.Henry, "...Illusion!"Jessica snorted, "Keep your mouth shut, don't let him find out!""What shouldn't I know?" The door opened, and Mr. Marcus' handsome figure floated at the doorway. He strolled in leisurely, tossed the car keys onto the table, and loosened the tie that had been binding him all day. "What were you discussing?"Henry made a quick decision, stood up, and drifted into the kitchen. He was going to cook!Jessica hugged her teddy bear and remained silent.
"Good boy, go buy a pillow in the market!" Jessica said coolly. It would be faster to dream about it. Just like that, Mr. Marcus, you're proposing too easily!Mr. Marcus stared at her coldly, attempting to overpower her with his oppressive presence.Jessica stared back defiantly, refusing to back down!Sparks flew in the air for a moment.Mr. Marcus felt a great sense of defeat. "What exactly do I have to do for you to agree to marry me?""You have a terrible attitude when proposing!" Miss Jessica reminded him calmly. "Have you ever seen someone propose with such a look?""What kind of attitude do you want?" Mr. Marcus asked patiently, grinding his teeth."At the very least, a candlelight dinner, 9999 roses, and get down on one knee!""You go buy a pillow in the market too!""Oh, let's buy it together!" Jessica replied casually. She couldn't understand why they had drifted from discussing Saxon to talking about marriage.They were off-topic!At that moment, the doorbell rang.Henry, w
Henry raised his thumb and praised, "Mommy, you're really amazing!"Mr. Marcus sat on the sand with a gloomy face. The thought of Saxon, that pervert, leering at Jessica made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.What should he do to make this pervert lose interest in Jessica?Deep in thought, Mr. Marcus's brows raised and furrowed alternately. Miss Jessica sat across from him, as if she was enjoying a silent film, quite amusing.Henry served the cooked food. It seemed like neither his mom nor dad had much interest in eating. With his rosy hand resting on his chin, he observed what his dad would do."Miss Jessica, starting tomorrow, dress more old-fashioned!" Mr. Marcus thought this was a feasible suggestion. He lifted his gaze and said domineeringly, "Wear a complete set of business suits, the old-fashioned kind, very conservative and outdated. Tie your hair up and wear a pair of black framed glasses, got it?"Henry burst out laughing. Uh... could it really work thi
The evening breeze blew quietly, chilly.A bright full moon hung high in the sky, its clear and cold moonlight flowing over the entire sky of W City like water.Mr. Marcus stood alone on the balcony, his cold gaze fixed on the dark colors. Moonlight gave his figure a layer of chilly silhouette, indifference, coldness, and something slightly sharp seeped out from him, giving people the feeling of the ruthless aura belonging to a dark king.Saxon's words stirred up the most intense animosity deep in Mr. Marcus's heart.That man seemed to understand him quite well, knowing exactly what to do to provoke Mr. Marcus's deepest ferocity!Jessica had just finished playing a round of video games with Henry and had come out of her study. As she passed by her study, she saw Mr. Marcus's cold figure standing under the moonlight, giving off an excessively cold feeling.Her heart twitched slightly, she knocked on the door, but Mr. Marcus didn't react.After hesitating for a moment, Jessica entered w
"Marcus..." Jessica's heart softened instantly She suddenly regretted her impulsive actions. Perhaps she should have used a more tactful approach, or perhaps she shouldn't have tried to persuade him in this atmosphere.He was crying...Even though it was just one tear, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds!Marcus didn't expect Jessica to push him away suddenly, unable to conceal his emotions. He wiped away his tears, feeling a bitter pain. He didn't want the woman he loved to see his vulnerable side.Perhaps all men have such thoughts. No matter how difficult or tired they are, they have this male pride. No one wants to be seen in such a disheveled state...How many years has it been since he cried?When he recognized Henry, he was so moved that his eyes were sore, but Jessica's words stirred the softest pain in his heart."I hate you!" Mr. Marcus said in a deep voice, pulling her into his arms forcefully. He roared in her ear with malice, "I hate you. Are you happy to see me devoure
The atmosphere was filled with strange tension and embarrassment, silence...They could only hear each other's heavy breaths. Jessica bit her teeth in annoyance. She embarrassingly buried herself in Mr. Marcus's embrace.This was what it felt like to be caught in the act.Jessica clenched her teeth in frustration. Damn Henry, of all times, why did he have to come now? Both of them were burning with desire, and he was like a bucket of cold water, abruptly pouring down on them.All their flirtatious thoughts disappeared!"Let's continue!" Mr. Marcus's hoarse voice broke the strange silence. He leaned down again and kissed her lips. He showed no intention of stopping.Mr. Marcus refused to stop, clearly a heavenly delicacy right in front of his lips, how could he let it go?His burning breath spilled onto Jessica's face, scorching and irresistible. Jessica turned her head, his lips landing on her cheek. She awkwardly spoke, "No."If she could continue in this situation, she would be invi
In the morning on the way to work, driving past the courthouse, Mr. Marcus turned his head and glanced at Jessica. The expression on his face was clearly asking, "Are you free? Let's go apply for marriage!"Jessica casually turned her head and enjoyed the street scenery.Marriage, for now... she hasn't thought about that yet!She hadn't enjoyed the feeling of being in love enough, how could she get married now?The typical relationship between a man and a woman is to meet - date - get married - and have children! But her relationship with Mr. Marcus could potentially be having children - meeting - date - get married.Or maybe having children - meet - get married!Skipping the dating step directly, you ask any girl in the world, who would be willing to get married without having a relationship? Except for marriage fanatics, probably no one, right?So Miss Jessica ignored Mr. Marcus's gaze.If he wants to get married, then let's first have a relationship. Based on their current situatio
