Jean squinted his eyes and looked at her red and swollen cheeks without a semblance of compassion. Instead, he felt resentment.

Marie saw that he did not respond, so she immediately pounced and hugged him. “Jean, I really love you. Don't give up on our relationship okay?"

Jean listened to her weeping with disgust and said, "You can't lie to me anymore."

"I swear, I'll never lie to you again! Let's live a happy life together, okay?" Marie reassured him.

It occurred to Jean that Marie still had the Rayne family behind her, and he became gentle. He touched her red and swollen face and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Marie nodded.

"I did this because I got too angry just now. I'm sorry. Don't be angry at me," Jean apologized. He knew that Marie wanted to get close to him for a reason, but at the same time, he had an ulterior motive for getting close to her as well

The reason he overreacted was that he had just found out from Nina that Marie set him up.

After Marie explained things, he was no longer mad.

"I'm not angry with you. I did do some things that hurt you. Jean, after being through so much together, please don't give up on me." Marie hugged him.

Jean pushed her away and said, "I won't leave you. Sit down. I'll go get you an ice pack."

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen.

Marie's pitiful appearance changed instantly. She looked at a certain corner in the living room with sad yet vicious eyes.
