The Woman From Hell

Marius was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He then whispered, "I didn't expect you two to have such a relationship."

I sighed. My thoughts were fluctuating and I would keep feeling regretful when I recalled the past.

"We've known each other for a long time. I still remember how he was just like you at the time. He was very warm, but unfortunately..." I trailed off but I knew that Marius could understand what I was saying. Seeing me in a daze, Marius grinned. "It's rare for you to praise me."

I did not register what he said when I heard it. I thought back to what I said before, only then did I smile lightly. "You're a very good person. Although you may seem cynical, you are in fact, dedicated to your feelings. One could tell from your feelings toward Wanya."

Marius obviously did not like me to bring Wanya up again. He waved his hand and collapsed back onto the sofa. "Let's not talk about her. It makes me upset."

"Why? Is she pestering you again?" I smiled meaningfully.

Wanya had brought people with her and appeared before me before, telling me to not get close to Marius. She has all but disappeared now, however.

Dissatisfaction colored his handsome face as he said, "She was pestering me some time ago. I gave her a sum of money after that and told her not to appear before me again. Otherwise, I would no longer treat her courteously. She probably left Whaldorf City."

It was normal for a young and beautiful girl like Wanya to want to find a rich and handsome man. She was not serious enough, however, and would have to fail a few times before she finally learned. "Alright, I won't stay here too long. I'll head back first." I stood up while supporting my waist. Marius wanted to stand up and help me, but I politely refused him.
