Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 52

"Alright, you can all crash here. I'll have the rooms cleaned immediately!" When Marvin heard Marlon would also stay for the night, he grinned from ear to ear, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Mr. Charles and Rachael will sleep in the same room, while Marlon will share a room with Alicia. Everyone is happy!" Marvin was so thrilled that he stammered.

"Kieran and I will share a room. We are all yet to get married. A man and a woman shouldn't sleep on the same bed out of wedlock!" Marlon categorically refused.

"Marlon...." Alicia hesitated.

"Aren't you used to sleep in the same room with Alicia?" Marvin said sheepishly. Marlon shot him a cold glance, and Marvin shut up.

Kieran slowly smiled and hugged me tightly, his face next to mine. "I can't bear to be away from Rachael. How can I sleep through the long night without her? Rachael, do you feel the same?"

Kieran gazed at me affectionately, and I immediately shook my head hard.

I had to point out that usually an affectionate gaze from a man could melt a woman's heart and soul, but I only felt horrified when Kieran gave me that.

"Since you want to sleep separately from Alicia, then so be it. Rachael and I are going to rest!" Kieran took my hand and was about to walk upstairs. The next second, Marlon stepped forward and pulled Kieran outside.

In the garden, Marlon shook off Kieran's hand and stared coldly at him, saying word by word, "Kieran, aren't you just trying to play with what I threw away? Let me tell you. I would rather destroy her than let you have her!"

Kieran looked at Marlon and slowly said, "Marlon, do you love Rachael?"

When I rushed out of the house, I heard Kieran's question and stopped. Even though Marlon had hurt me a million times, I still desired to know the answer.

Alicia, who had been following me, stopped beside me, her expression slightly stiff.

Marlon snorted contemptuously, "How would I love a woman like her!"

My heart was broken to pieces. Marlon had said he didn't love me multiple times, but I always fantasized the opposite like a fool. I had been delusional all along. I kept making up lame excuses just to deceive myself. I had thought maybe Marlon liked me a little bit. A tiny bit at least.

However, this time, I could no longer find an excuse to delude myself!

"Since you don't love her, why would you rather destroy her than set her free? She has been secretly in love with and following you for four years. Don't tell me you don't feel guilty at all." Kieran approached Marlon.

Marlon sneered, "Feeling guilty? Why should I? It is true she has loved and chased after me for four years, but I feel baffled!" Marlon smiled happily at Kieran. "Kieran, Rachael used to love me, and she still does. Don't you find yourself ridiculous?"

I had thought my heart was beyond repair, but now it managed to break into even smaller pieces, and the agony I used to feel was nothing compared to what I was experiencing now.

I had been like a fool, hiding my deep affection for him so that Marlon wouldn't know about it.

But it turned out he knew all along but didn't care to tell me. He was like an emperor, looking down at this clown with pride and contentment. My dignity was trampled all over, and my feelings meant nothing.

"Rachael, you are truly sad. Marlon knows you love him. Unfortunately, your deep love is nothing to him!" Alicia laughed, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits.

I looked at her quietly and then chuckled. "Yes, it is quite sad!"

"You...." Alicia froze in surprise and goggled at me.

I looked away from her and slowly walked towards Marlon. Under the moonlight, the air seemed to be still, and the world went quiet. I smiled and approached Kieran step by step. I held Kieran's hand and looked to Marlon. "Mr. Redford, you were wrong. I did have a crush on you, but now I love Kieran. Besides, it was in the past. I live in the moment! I only cherish what Kieran and I have." I turned to Kieran, and we smiled at each other.

The complacent expression on Marlon's face stiffened instantly and gradually turned gloomy. In his pitch-black eyes raged coldness as he stared fixedly at Kieran and me.

Kieran touched my head and said, "It's cold there. Let's go inside!" As he spoke, he hugged me, and I leaned against his embrace with a smile, walking with him.

"You are just acting. Don't assume I can't tell!" Behind him, Marlon said coldly.

I stopped, turned around, and gazed at Marlon calmly. "We don't need you or anyone to believe in us, because we didn't fall in love just to impress some judgmental eyes. Kieran, don't you agree?"

"Of course!" He looked at me dotingly.

I grinned and gently stood on tiptoe to kiss Kieran's lips, my hands in his. The coolness I felt from his lips was like spring breeze. Kieran's expression froze, and his scarlet eyes slightly widened, but in a flash, they went back to normal.

"Rachael, it’s shameless of you!" Marlon stepped forward and pulled me away, staring at me angrily. My shoulders clenched by him, I felt an acute pain, as if he was about to tear me apart. "You don’t have sense of shame?"

I looked up and softly smiled as I swept away his hands. "Mr. Redford, I am in love with Kieran. We are lovers and he will be my fiancé soon. Why is it shameless for me to kiss my boyfriend? Besides, even if I am what you described, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. The point is Kieran likes me!"

"Yes, you don't need to worry about my fiancée, Mr. Redford!" Kieran held my hand and walked into the room.

Marlon's eyes were gloomy as he stared in the direction where Kieran and I went. He clenched his hands and said, "I'd like to see how long your show can last!"

"Marlon...." Alicia wanted to pull Marlon, but he went in the house pretending not to see her. Alicia's expression went stiff, and she followed him after a while gritting her teeth.

"The rooms are ready. I've had them cleaned. Rachael, lead Mr. Charles to your room. It's getting late. You guys should wash up and go to sleep!" As soon as Kieran and I entered, Marvin came up to please him. Marvin exerted himself to hint at me when he said the word "sleep".

I pretended to miss the signal and went upstairs with Kieran. The minute we entered the room, Marlon caught up with us. I pressed the door to keep him away. "Mr. Redford, this isn't your room!"

Marlon pushed open the door with a jerk and barged in, throwing a black nightgown onto the bed. He leisurely sat on the sofa and said, "We are going to be a family soon. Your room is my room. I feel we should get to know each other more!"
