Marissa quickly shook her head, trying to drop the ridiculous thought from her

Seeing how Marissa kept shaking her head, Tessa couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I think I'm going crazy. I just thought that it was a pity that things didn't work out between you and Stephen."
