Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Marianne continuously stares at Carl to which he also did the same. As if challenging her on who would be the one to lower their eyes first. Marianne was the first to shift her eyes away.
‘This man… he is on my neck all the time. Why can’t he be like John and Michael? I can’t believe that he is saying this again?’ she thought.
Having been taken to a room to be questioned by Mrs Smith early in the morning, and then being condemned by Leonna a while ago, and now feeling interrogated by Carl. Marianne feels like she is going to explode. ‘I just had enough of everyone. Who do they think they are!’ she angrily thought. She looks back at Carl, and unable to control herself anymore and said &ld

Setting aside her wounded pride, Marianne goes to them and puts on a very friendly smile on her face, she says “Dr Sasaki… I didn’t expect to see you too soon. Is everything alright?”“Ah, Mrs Davidson. Yes, I just came by to check on Francois. I thought I should drop by as I won’t be coming this evening. There is one more bag of the IV fluid, then he should be okay for tomorrow. I had given some instructions to your housekeeper on what food he should be taking,” said Dr Sasaki, he then bade them goodbye and left hurriedly towards his car.Marianne felt a bit confused, but had shrugged it off. Excusing herself to everyone. She goes to the drawing room, planning to catch up on her work, when she hears Dr Sasaki’s voice fr
Purest Hearts Chapter 119 Jane's Necklace
"What is it? It looks like a bell. May I see it?" asked Marianne, curious about Jane's necklace."Marianne!" warned Mrs Smith. She shakes her head when Marianne looks in her direction. She gives her disapproving look.Marianne frowns. 'What did I do wrong?' she thought, wondering as to why Mrs Smith had stopped her in such a way. The older lady only calls her name if she has done something inappropriate. ‘Did I perhaps offend Jane by asking to see her necklace? Is it a sensitive matter?’ she wonders.“Peter, really, you’re already at
Purest Hearts Chapter 120 Jane's Necklace
Marianne did not like the look on Mrs Smith’s face. ‘I should really talk to her sometime. Why do I have to tiptoed when she is around? Did she forget that she is an employee here?’ thought Marianne.She turns to look at Francois who is now seated at the sofa. She smiled happily. She knows that Francois is waiting for her and would want to talk to her. ‘Finally, we’ll have a proper conversation,’ she thought.“Well, I was admiring Jane’s necklace when Peter unhappily commented on it," said Marianne, thinking if she should tell him about Mrs Smith.When Francois did not say anything, she did not say anymore of it.&n

Feeling jittery, Marianne waited outside the bathroom.‘What did he mean? Does he know...?’ she muttered. She nervously clasps her hands together. ‘What should I do? I had been feeling like he knew something, but I had been ignoring it.’ She keeps repeating in her mind the scenario of their conversation earlier, and she is more convinced that Francois said that to her for a reason. ‘I have to ask him, I have to face this head on. I can’t evade this anymore, not from him anyway. I know that I can trust him,’ said Marianne to herself.Ten minutes had passed by, but Marianne felt that she had been waiting there for hours. She had been restraining herself not to go inside. She knows that Francois is taking a shower, as he is a clean freak. He would al
Purest Hearts Chapter 122 HE KNOWS!
She sees herself on the screen. She covers her mouth with her hand, freaking out, as she hears more of herself talking. This is the day when she went to see Dr Peter Bennett. The day when she talks about her secrets. It is the day when she talks about her past, about Kenny.She wanted to close the screen, to tell him not to listen to it. However, she knows that does not change anything to the fact that Francois already knows. The big ‘HE KNOWS’ on her mind, terrifies her. She does not know what Francois’ is going to do, now that he knows that she is an impostor Marianne.Francois closes the computer as he sees her shaking with fear. ‘She is shaking. Maybe this is too much for her. She is probably blaming herself for her own carelessness. She did not expect for her secret to be out this way,’ thought Franco

Marianne, who was presumed to be working on her study, is still lingering near the window thinking of what or how to talk to Francois from now on.‘I wish I had said something then, but now I don’t know how to present myself to him. Is it alright for me to be acting like Marianne? Or will he think that I am being presumptuous?’ Marianne sighs. “Aaahhh…” she loudly groans.At that moment, the door opens. Francois walks inside with Carl following behind him. Marianne turns her head to them and feels flabbergasted at their presence. ‘Gosh… this is so embarrassing…’ she thought.The two gentlemen walk to Francois’ desk, and Francois takes out some papers
Purest Hearts Chapter 124 Acting More Like A Doctor
Having those negative thoughts earlier had made her jumpy and more wary. She does not know where she would put herself or if she is still allowed to stay there. However, just a mere talk from Francois, puts her at ease. It made her recall their conversation earlier, and she realises that she had been hard on herself. She had been acting on her pessimistic thoughts which made her anxious and cautious on Francois.“Hmm… now that you said that, Marianne. I feel like I should think more about the terms. Francois, I’d like to read and analyse this more,” said Carl.Marianne opens her mouth, and closes it again. ‘Oh dear… I think I might have said something wrong. I know that Carl was just about to sign the papers but due to
Purest Hearts Chapter 125 Sorting Out Carl
Carl and Michael can normally predict when John is on the move, but at this moment Carl is distracted as he just remembers the concern that he had earlier. ‘What was that about? It’s like I didn’t like seeing her suffering. She is not my concern, and I don’t care if something happens to her…’ Carl’s face looks bothered.John has an idea on what is going on in Carl's mind. ‘As I thought, he is starting to realise himself,’ thought John.“Marianne…’ said John, to get Carl’s attention. When Carl looks at him, John says “She was having some mixed feelings and difficulties with Francois before, but everything went well afterwards. I suppose that is how it is between husband and wife. Of course Michael here, who is

Francois lightly touches his neck. His thoughts were on last night, on how he got those marks. He frowned.There was an uncertain look on Francois’ face that made Marianne worries. She wants to reach out to him. ‘I wonder what has happened. This is the first time that I have ever seen him look like this. He seems unsure. He is certainly not himself. Is he perhaps ill?’ thought Marianne, more concerned and with determination to find out what the mark is on his neck. Francois sees Marianne slowly getting up off her chair. He became stiff as he felt her nearness. He would have stepped backwards if he could, but he felt pinned to his spot. He could not move. Moreso when his nostrils were hit with her fragrance. Marianne steadies herself, and then takes a closer look at his neck. “Oh, it’s more than I thought, and it looks bad!” she exclaimed, showing a displeased look as she inspected the marks on his neck. Her eyes focused on the worst part. ‘I’m sure I’ve seen something like this befo

The next day, the ringing of her phone made Marianne groan as she grabbed her phone. She squinted her eyes at the clock table. ‘It’s past 7, already!?’ “Hello, Marianne! Oh I’m so sorry, did I just wake you up? I only called cause I thought you would be awake by now,” said Annie, as she listened to the moaning sound of her friend from the other line. “Hey… Annie. No, no it’s okay. I’m actually glad that you called. I think my alarm clock is not working. I don’t know how long I would sleep if you didn’t call. You saved me from facing another wrath from Mrs Smith.” “Are you still not getting along? I think that’s been a while now, don’t you think?

Realising that Francois would not help her, that she has to deal with Steven herself. She turns to face Steven. She sees his smiling face. The face that Kenny had once liked. She looks closely and studies his face. ‘Hmm he does have a handsome face but he is nothing compared to Francois. Not even to John, Michael and Carl… Why the heck did I think before that he is above all men when it comes to looks? Gah… And if you look more closely… there are blackheads on his nose! What a turn off! Oh, there are even more lines under his eyes and some pigmentation on his skin. He has become old now.”The scrutinising ways of Marianne made Steven uncomfortable. He looks at Francois, but he seems to be unaware of what his wife is doing or does not care. He cleared his throat. “Uhm, Lady Marianne.”

Sarah’s watchful eyes become sharp as she stares at Marianne. “You know, I had years of study and practice to know when someone is lying. And right now, your face is telling me differently than earlier.” Sarah moves closer to Marianne. She bends down, and with her face close to Marianne, she looks straight into Marianne’s eyes. “So, what are you hiding? What are you guilty of?” said Sarah, with a very intimidating tone.Marianne catches her breath, and on guard of what the woman in front of her is going to do next. ‘Oh My God! I hope she is not going to hit me!’ she thought. She quickly side glances to where Lana is. She sees her talking on the phone as Lana meets her eyes very briefly. ‘I hope she called Francois. I hope it’s him on the other line,’ prayed Marianne.

Sarah gives Marianne a quizzing look because of her reaction. Aware of her carelessness, Marianne says to her “Well, I’ve not met Kenny before so I don’t really know what he’s like, but you said he is not one to just take his own life. It’s also what others say about him. So, I believe you. And thank you for telling me about the study under Dr Keis. I’ll see if I can find some useful information from his old stuff. But… I’m sure this is not the important thing that you wanted to tell me for seeking me here.”Sarah nodded. “Well, after you left that day. I had an uncomfortable feeling like I had missed something. I couldn’t sleep. So, that night I went to check on Kenny's body again. At first, everything was the same as how I'd written it on the report. But when I checked the ligature on his neck, I found a very thin dark

Returning to their table, Marianne gives Francois a hateful accusation look of a 'How could you!?' flaring in her eyes. Anyone who would look at Marianne’s face would be able to tell how angry she is, but Francois did not seem to take any notice of her state. His relaxed manner of how he is enjoying himself made Marianne more annoyed at him. ‘Hateful Bastard!’ she thought as she threw him one more hateful glance. To put her composure back, Marianne tries to think of positive thoughts. ‘Good thing everyone wasn’t so brazen to accept his abrupt invitation. Even Steven just gave him a salute. Hopefully no one will come as I don’t want to prepare an abrupt party... Oh, wait! Does Francois want me to throw a party for Carl?’ The thought made Marianne look alarmed and suddenly feeling guilty that it never occurred to her to throw a party for Carl.&nb

Whatever was on Dr Eli’s face expression is now gone. She is now wearing her usual friendly smiles. She gets up and greets Francois and Marianne. “Hello. I didn’t expect to see you both here," she said, smilingly. Marianne thought that she detected nervousness in her voice. She smiles back at Dr Eli. The question that she wanted to ask earlier (to ask her why she had left her profession), she does not dare to ask anymore. Marianne secretly observes Dr Eli. ‘I’m sure I wasn’t mistaken when she looked at me. There was hatred in her eyes which was directed at me. But why…? I’ve known her before, and she is not to hold grudges. Perhaps she has mistaken me for someone else? Hmm… no, I’m with Francois so she knows who I am. So, why does she hate me?... Ah... this feels worse than when Leonna was giving me those hateful stares with her matching acid tongue. But, at least with Leonna, I know why sh
Purest Hearts Chapter 138 He is Mine Alone!
Marianne tries to sort out her thoughts by accepting her sad fate tonight. Yet, she still cannot let go of the niggling feeling inside her. With a disregard to modesty, she said “I have to say this for the peace of my mind. You know, I thought that this was going to be a ‘date’. A proper date. I did not expect it to be like this. And I was really ecstatic then to the idea that I am going out on a date with you. In fact, I even requested help from the ladies which I kinda regret as they have different ideas. They only caused me more stress, and not to mention my extended endurance for tolerating the constant nagging of Mrs Smith. I do feel sorry for myself.” Then, Marianne thought that her words came out wrong that it had made her look more pathetic than she wanted it to be. So, to justify her words, she said “Well, you know that I have been cooped up inside the castle most of the time, so a da
Purest Hearts Chapter 137 In For The Ride
“Cole is one of those narcissistic people, but he is also intelligent. He knows how to placate himself and bide his time to get what he wants. He would have not felt remorse after killing his best friend. However, the admiration or he might have thought that was more like a Godlike idolisation from Kenny, he doesn’t get it anymore.” Marianne continuously stares at Francois. “I’ve had this thought of what Kenny's situation was, but after you said it… Although, a tiny bit inside me doesn’t want to admit it, still I have to accept the fact that I was manipulated. I was a doctor, Kenny was an exemplary doctor. He should have known. Kenny should have seen the signs.” Marianne covers her face, feeling dejected. Francois pats her back. “You were very young then, and you have lost your parents. It’s understa
