The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2626

"Marius did tell me about it, yes, but I also made it clear to him that I only see him as a brother now." I could still recall the scene back when Marius had confessed to me. I felt a bit embarrassed thinking about it now.

Theo looked at me, his eyes seemingly wavering. "But I don't think his feelings towards you are just of siblingly love. There'll never be a pure friendship between opposite sexes."

I was very aware of what he was saying and did not refute him.

"I know, but he understands what I've told him. He's given me so much help. Of course, I understand his intentions. I've already explained everything to him. I think we should give him some time. He'll figure it out. Perhaps his feelings will fade away once he meets someone right for him. "

I could not just reject Marius' friendship. I let out a breath and looked up at Theo. "You say we're an old couple, yet you're still worried that I'll run away with someone?"

"How can I not worry with how charming you are?"

"Aren't you the same, President Grant?" I hugged him, smiling lightly as I leaned my head against his chest.

He reached his arms out and hugged me back. He then covered me with the blanket. "Okay, but I still have to reduce his contact with us to prevent him from having unreasonable thoughts about you." Hearing the childishness of his voice, I said nothing.

He could do whatever he wanted as long as it did not affect our relationship.

I pursed my lips and smiled slightly. Sometime later, I fell asleep.
