Chapter 84 Learning About His smile
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Marianne has been feeling on edge as the light of the day is fading. This is the first time that she will be spending the night outside of her comfort zone. Her first time sleeping at her in-laws' house. Mary had shown her their room earlier. She was informed that it used to be Francois' room but because he has rarely used it, it was turned into a guest room. It has a double bed which had been making Marianne flustered for the coming of the night. She is used to sharing the bed with him in their massive bed which occupies about four to five people. Which is just perfect for her comfort and thoughts. It is too wide that they barely had any skinship, unless Marianne will move closer to Francois’ side.
She has not thought that there might be a situation for something like this, otherwise she would have objected to sleeping out. Then when his Nana Pauline had said those words, it still rings in her

After speaking with John, Marianne goes back to join the others. The men in the suit have left and are moving towards their cars which they have parked a bit closer to the lake. Marianne wrinkles her nose with disgust, the sight of those cars are like an abomination to her surroundings. ‘It’s time I make some rules here!’ she thought.“Lita, could you tell the guards in the second gate not to allow anyone to park near the lake. They can park outside for all I care,” she instructed her.Lita glances at her and looks at the distances of the castle to the second gate. It is about ten minutes walk away, and maybe seven minutes when waking on the grass but only when it is dry. Also, if Marianne meant parking outside the first gate, then i

She looks straight to the road and curses in her breath whenever they stop at pedestrians.Looking at her madam, Lita feels sympathetic to Lucas as he tries to rush on the road because of Marianne’s urging, but at the same time he must abide by the laws of the road.“Darn! That man! Why is he taking so long to move? He is probably on his phone!” said Marianne with a loud voice, looking at the car in front of them.“He probably is. Madam, why don’t you try calling them again at the hospital.

Marianne looks at the time on the big clock in the dining room, and then she checks the time on her phone. It is the same time, not a minute less. It is half past six in the evening.“Where is he? How come he hasn’t arrived yet?” she mumbles.Not long ago she had instructed Lita to give them dinner when Francois arrived. Her husband has never failed to notify them if he will not be present for the evening meal. Or one of his staff would have called them by now.“Alright, tell them to serve mine first,” she told Lita, who had been waiting with her in the dining room. She looked at her phone again, and decided to call Lana, Francois’ secretary on weekdays. Da

“Is that John’s car?” asked Marianne. She is seated next to the grand old chair that Francois’ used whenever he works on his desk. Marianne looks closely at the screen, she enlarges it and scrutinises its details. “It is John’s car! What is he doing so early in the morning here?” she said, looking at Lita.Lita looks at the screen and to Marianne. Then Marianne said “Oh John is one of Francois’ best friends. You probably know him. Have you heard of Dr John Reeds? He is quite famous. He wrote some books and he often appears on tele.” She sees Lita’s face that says ‘I’ve no idea who that is’ and she laughed.&n

Marianne has seated herself near the fireplace, waiting for John's arrival. She looks outside at the purely white snow that covers the grounds. It reminded her when she was young. When she was still the young boy Kenny Jones. He and Steven would play for a long time outside. They were both athletic that they would like to compete on who would be the first on everything. 'Those were the good times,' she thought.She sees Lita coming in. "Lita, I heard that this is your first time to experience snow. Is that right? Don't you get snow in your country?"Lita made a short laugh. "Yes. Although I live in the highland part where we get frosted grounds occasionally, snow has never occurred there. So, this is quite an experience for me."Marianne smiled at her. "Hav

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
Purest Hearts Chapter 140 Positivity
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

“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
