“Thank you! However, I still don’t know if he likes me. It’s alright. Anyways, he’s single right now. I’ll try hard to make him fall in love with me!” Lindy said straightforwardly. She had already thought it through. Anyway, she should just continue sleeping with him. It would be great if he fell for her after sleeping with her! However, Lucas told her, “He likes you.” Lindy was stunned. She asked, “How do you know that?” Lucas smiled gloomily and said, “I just know.” If a man looks for another man to tell him that a woman has feelings for him and he would want the opportunity to reciprocate her feelings, did that not mean that he loved her? If he did not love her, he would not bother to do something like that! However, he could not tell Lindy that he only found out about her feelings for him because Marcus had told him everything.He waved at Lindy suavely and said, “Alright, I need to head off to my company. You should go to work as well. Look after your own safety fo
“Of course, he loves you! Everyone can tell that he loves you. His gaze shines whenever he looks at you!” Sonnet said. Lindy found it rather unbelievable. “Is that so?” “Of course, it’s true. I told you the same thing in the past, but you kept telling me it was impossible!” Lindy smiled and shook her head. “I’ve always thought that he liked men. I assumed that he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend so his family wouldn’t find out that he liked men.” Sonnet laughed and said, “How is that possible?! He doesn’t seem like a homosexual at all!” After thinking about it some more, she said, “I’ll ask Logan about it when I get the chance. He’s close to Marcus. He should know if he’s homosexual.” Lindy immediately waved her hands. “Don’t ask him anything. I’ve confirmed that he isn’t homosexual. He told me the truth.” Sonnet felt extremely curious. “What in the world happened? Why made you think that he’s homosexual?” Lindy quickly told her about everything that had ha
Lindy had told Marcus about her deepest and most private thoughts and feelings, yet he had betrayed her twice! However, she felt much better when Lucas confronted her about her feelings for him today as compared to when she told Sonnet about her feelings for Lucas back then. She did not feel as disgraced as she had felt back then. When Sonnet found out about her feelings for Lucas, she was still in love with Lucas. Therefore, she felt extremely disgraced back then. She felt completely calm right now. This showed that she had really gotten over her feelings for Lucas! “Don’t blame him. Where would you find a man like him?” Sonnet immediately told her. Lindy glared at her. Sonnet smiled and explained. “Think about it. Marcus likes you. He likes you so much, and he has even slept with you. However, he still looked for Lucas and told him about your feelings for him. Why would he do something that wouldn’t benefit him in any way? He did it all because of you. He didn’t want you
Lindy felt rather bad for Marcus when she saw his red-rimmed eyes. “I always follow through with my promises,” she slowly said. Marcus looked at her in confusion. He then saw a grin spread across her face. “I just told you that I’m happy to get together with him, but that doesn’t mean that I agreed to do so. I made a promise to you this morning. I always keep my promises, right?” Joy flooded Marcus’s heart. “Does that mean…you won’t be getting together with him?” “Yeah, I’ve promised to stay with you. Of course, I’ll stay by your side!” “Do you mean…” Marcus said softly. He did not dare to utter any more words. He was afraid that his hopes would be dashed if he said one more word. Lindy leaned towards him and held his face in her hands. She smiled at him radiantly and said, “That means I love you, you fool!” Marcus stared at her in a daze. He seemed to be in disbelief. “What’s wrong? Don’t you believe me?” “I feel like I’m dreaming.” Marcus had a stupefied expres
The two girls agreed instantly. After all, they were honored that their colleague landed such a big catch. If they were lucky, they might get to meet a rich and eligible bachelor too!That night, Lindy did not have much to worry about. She just had to play the role of a quiet beauty. That was when Marcus showed his all-round capabilities. He greeted her colleagues, chatted with them, and even cut up her food, taking care of her perfectly. He was flawless.Over the meal, Joanne scrolled through her phone and suddenly gasped. “Oh my, Draco’s gossip is completely taking over the trending searches. They’re all talking about his cheating scandals and bits of his dark history. Looks to me like he’s in trouble now!”Willet tilted her head. “Doesn’t he have a pretty strong backing? I’m surprised he didn’t manage to suppress the news. His opponent must be something else!”“Wow, Hendric Productions announced that they’ll be suspending him!” Joanna cried out again, looking at her phone.Li
First thing the next morning, the Pine household erupted.As soon as Old Mrs. Pine woke up, her daughter-in-law came into her room. “Mom! Mom! Our boy has finally grown up!”Old Mrs. Pine was stunned for a second, then she understood. “Do you mean Marcus—”“He brought Lindy home at ten o’clock last night, and they even slept in his room. Mom! Is this finally what we’ve been waiting for?!”Marcus’ mother even had tears in her eyes.Old Mrs. Pine’s eyes reddened as well, and she was overjoyed. “It looks like Lindy’s the real one this time. Ahh, he finally found himself a wife! We won’t have to worry about him anymore!”The mother- and daughter-in-law duo were so excited they gripped each other’s hands. Even the servants had to laugh along with them.All these years, the two ladies’ biggest dream had been to see Master Marcus build a family and a career. His career was booming, but he did not seem that interested in women.His mother and grandmother pulled out a ton of hair over h
Lindy did not meet Marcus’ brother and sister-in-law the last time she came by. It was her first time seeing Bill’s wife, Silvia Swann, so she secretly appraised Silvia.Silvia was dressed in a graceful long dress. She emanated the aura of a scholar, and her gentle elegance seemed to suggest she was well-learned.While Lindy was checking out Silvia, Silvia was observing Lindy too.To Silvia, the girl sitting next to her brother-in-law had a pair of lively eyes. Silvia was the shy, introverted type, but she always envied those bright, lively extroverts, so she strangely had a good impression of Lindy from the moment she laid eyes on her. The two women watched each other closely, then their gazes met.Just as Silvia was feeling a little awkward and flustered, Lindy's face broke into a smile. "You're so scholarly, Silvia, and I love how clear your eyes are. You're like a fairy!"Just like that, Silvia's awkwardness vanished. The praise made her face burn, and she liked Lindy even
On either side of Old Mrs. Pine were Ray Pine and Rosa Holland.Ray was as immaculate as ever, every thread in his suit perfectly in place, like the quintessential lawyer.On the other hand, Rosa had dressed up just like Old Mrs. Pine. She had put on a brand new outfit and even purposely did up her makeup.As Rosa's daughter-in-law, Silvia knew just how laidback her mother-in-law usually was. Most of the time, Rosa could not even be bothered to put on makeup, much less dress up. To think she would go to all these lengths just to greet her future daughter-in-law today. The four younger ones instinctively stood up when their elders entered the room. Old Mrs. Pine ignored the other three and walked over to grab Lindy's hands. "Oh my, look at our pretty little Lindy!" She sounded like she was taking to a little girl. Lindy laughed awkwardly, feeling a bit lost. Granny Pine was too enthusiastic. She did not know how to respond…Next to her, Marcus started to show off instead. "B
