2024-10-29 19:42:56“Huh… what did you just say?” said Marianne, while her mind is thinking back on why she still hasn’t heard from Francois.
Carl did not answer for a bit, and then said “Judging from your reaction, you have no idea as well. I just heard from my superior, and so I tried calling him but I couldn't get through. Also John and Michael’s phone had been busy for a while. Have you spoken to them lately?”
“Francois is back in the army… Is he really? How come he didn’t say anything to me,” said Marianne, softly.
Carl sighs. “I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have come to the conclusion that you knew of it,” apologised Carl. He fr

Michael held Marianne’s stare, and then he shifted his eyes. ‘She is right. No one can tell what will happen in the future. There’s no point in trying to put her mind out of it. She should learn to be prepared for anything that could happen,’ he thought, remembering Joanna.Watching Michael being silent, Marianne cools down and does not want to discuss it anymore.“Alright, let’s not talk about that. So, tell me, what’s going on?”Michael relaxes himself. Erasing any reflections of his sad thoughts on his face. He heard Marianne say “I thought he would just be doing a favour to the army. I never expect him to be going back to his job. Also, it is unlike him not to say an

Michael did not reply to her, instead he stared at her and said “So tell me, what’s the obsession with Kenny Jones and Steven Cole? I know that you had no interest in him before you lost your memories.”Marianne is in shock and wants to know why Kenny’s parents had ruined Francois. She wants to demand or make Michael explain what he really meant. Yet, the sentences that just come out from Michael makes her unable to say anything.Then she heard Michael say “Well, my words earlier of ‘you don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to’, I forgot to say that I am also applying that to myself. It wouldn’t be fair if that only applies to you.”Marianne looks at Michael, observing him. ‘It doesn’t seem like I&rsq

Marianne asked what had been on her mind ever since Michael had told her that Kenny’s parents had ruined Francois. ‘I already knew that he wouldn’t tell me, but I have to ask anyway. I don’t know if what he just said about grandfather is true, or was he just messing about with me because he thinks that I’m obsessed with Kenny,’ she thought.She hears a few soft knocks on the door, and then a light footsteps come into the room. She did not have to turn her head as she already knows that it is Leonna.“Michael had just left. He said a quick goodbye to us. Mum said that she wants to invite him for a meal sometime. I think she wants to prepare a meal for him to thank him for helping us today. I must say I wouldn’t know what I would have do

“So you think it’s someone that is close to them? Do you know anyone?” asked Leonna.Marianne nodded. “Yes, I think it would be someone who knows them all. I don’t know anyone but I will ask Francois about it. I’m also curious who this person is. She is probably an old acquaintance or old friend to them. I’ll let you know when I find out,” said Marianne.Leonna laughs. “I didn’t think that you would also be this curious. The old you wouldn’t care about anyone.”Marianne frowns. “I don’t think that the past me was that insensitive before. Maybe, that is what I had wanted others to see…” Marianne sees Leonna’s mocking expression on her face,

After having their meal, Michael said “I might have said something unnecessary to Marianne.”John looked at him, but didn’t say anything. So Michael said “I kind of mention that Kenny Jones’ parents had ruined Francois.”“What did she say? How did she react?” asked John.Michael raised a brow, “Well, what do you think?”John nodded. “She had always been acting mysteriously when it’s about Kenny Jones, Steven Cole and Peter Bennett.”&ld

“Hello Marianne.” The sound of the cool voice of Francois made Marianne’s heart leap.“Hey, how are you?” said Marianne, while controlling her breathing. ‘Why do I feel like it has been ages since I’ve heard his voice when it was only yesterday that I was talking to him,’ she thought.Francois’ sharp ears noted her way of expiring the air. “Did I interrupt you during your exercise?”“N-no,” she can only manage to say, for explaining herself would only make her more like a fool. She heard Fran

Jane smiles at Marianne but does not say anything. Florence raised a brow and said “So you put her as ‘aunt’ on your phone but didn’t know that you are related to each other?”“You know that I have no recollection of any of my past, but on my phone I had put her as ‘Aunt’. Although, I changed it to Jane as I was told to do.”Florence made soft chuckles. “Let me guess, it was Jane's idea to do that?”Marianne looks at Jane, and the two smile at each other.“Jane doesn’t like telling people that she is par
Purest Hearts Chapter 107 Francois is Back?
Marianne had locked herself in the room where the relics and the journals of her ancestors are kept. It’s been five days since she had last seen Francois, and four days since she had last spoken to him on the phone. During those days, she had spent her time mostly at the company of her Aunt Florence and Leonna. She had taken some time off with her instructors, but had asked them for some homework so she will still be doing some work. Her therapists are important to her so those are the only ones that she had kept going. She even skipped going to her usual visiting days at the hospital. She told herself that it’s not because Francois had told her to but it’s because she wants to spend some more time with Leonna and Aunt Florence while they are still staying with them. (Florence had mentioned to her before that they would not be staying there for long.)She hears some kn

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
Purest Hearts Chapter 139 The Abrupt Invitation
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
