Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 485: The Longing for Love

Marcos was startled by her sudden kiss. She was the girl-next-door he had loved since childhood, but back then, she was too young, and he had never dared to confess his feelings, fearing he might scare her away.

Later, she told him she had someone she liked. Marcos was heartbroken but still gave her his blessings. He moved abroad, staying away for years, only recently returning home.

Susan had a family now, and just when Marcos resolved to let go of his feelings and try to move on, she sought him out.

He quickly pushed her away. "Susan, do you know what you're doing? You're married. Hayden is your husband."

"Marcos, I know all of that, but I regret it now. I don't want to be with him anymore. Marcos, I know you still love me, don't you? I... I want to be with you."

Susan's face was flushed as she carefully uttered these words.

If she had confessed to him in the past, Marcos couldn't imagine how happy he would have been. But now, hearing her words, he felt like his head had been struck with a heavy blow.

He had never thought Susan would confess her feelings to him, especially under such circumstances-she was married, and it was still a new marriage.

"What is it, Marcos? Are you disgusted by me?" Susan grabbed at his shirt.

"No, I'm not disgusted by you," Marcos said, his voice soft but firm. "Susan, listen to me. Right now, you're just upset because of a temporary conflict with Hayden. And you're drunk. Your mind isn't clear, and any decision made under these circumstances can't be trusted."

Susan was indeed drunk, but Marcos wasn't. He couldn't allow Susan to make a mistake like this, even if her marriage was in name only. It was still a marriage.
