Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 109

"Ever since we had sex, you wanted to be with me and I didn't reject you. Afterwards, you've been pestering me for four whole years, and I didn't say anything either!"

As his voice got closer and closer, I realized that I was indeed fascinated by him. I couldn't help but clench my hands.

"Actually, I always knew you loved me. I just didn't show it. You should consider yourself lucky. I allow you to be around for four years. I was easy on you!"

I suddenly opened and fixed my eyes on Marlon. What he had said wrung my heart. Actually, he had already said like this. Every time he put these words, he was domineering and arrogant. And this time, he spoke with great magnanimity as if he was wronged.

"Rachael, now I offer you a chance to stay by my side. Aren't you happy about this?" Marlon said. We exchanged looks. I could hardly stop myself from being tempted by him, but I had to do so as he was heartless.

I felt extremely bitter. However, what was even more pathetic was that I still expected that he would love me.

Or at least, he had feelings for me and wished to foster a bright future with me. Marlon was so proud that he wouldn't come to Kieran easily.

I stared at him and asked word by word, "Marlon, did you fall in love with me?"

"Rachael, you better not flatter yourself!" Marlon said clearly in a cold tone. I felt miserable at his words.

I said with a smile, "Marlon, leave the chance to Alicia. I believe that she will like your proposal!"

"Alicia is my fiancée...."

I interrupted and gave him a mocking smile, "I know she is your fiancée and you loved her. She's worthy of the best thing in this world! So, you'd better be loyal to her and just get off my back. Two days later, I will be engaged to Kieran!" With that, I shook off Marlon's hand and turned around to leave.

Marlon suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Rachael, it's you who promised to stay by my side forever!"

I turned to look at him and said slowly, "So what? I regret it now!"

Without turning round, I left soon.

I felt extremely bitter. It was sunny outside, yet I found my inner self in darkness.

It hurt!

Marlon, it turned out that it hurt all the time as long as I loved you!

I'd rather not meet and fall in love with you. I wished I could never understand love, so I probably wouldn't be painful any longer.

However, it was too late to be regretful. I touched my belly with my hands. For the sake of the baby, I couldn't give Marlon up to Alicia.

Thinking of this, I wondered if I was too tough and if Marlon would hate me. However, something occurred to me. It seemed that Marlon had changed his attitude to me since I stopped showing affection to him and left him alone. He used to insult and mock me.

I probably could try a different way.

When I lost in thought, Everly called me. She must have come to ask me why I was late for work. I didn't answer the phone, but I hurried to the bus stop and waited for the bus.

It was burning hot in the summer, and I was all sweaty after standing for a while. Suddenly, I felt like I was stared at by someone. I looked around and saw an old lady, who was shabby and unkempt, standing in a corner glaring at me.

I waited at the bus stop with her, who was not far away from me, alone. Being stared at by her, I couldn't help but begin to feel uneasy. But I didn't think further. I looked away from her and continued to wait for the bus.

Not long after, she walked towards me and fell to the ground in front of me.

I didn't know what to do.

I looked at the old lady who had fallen over for no reason and was a little scared. Was she trying to blackmail me? When I was hesitating whether or not I should help her, there came the old lady's voice. She lay one the ground and groaned in exaggerated anguish.

I gritted my teeth. In my hurry, I stepped forward to help her. I was not afraid that she wanted to blackmail me, as I was impoverished. But if she indeed was injured, I would regret not saving her.

"Are you alright?" I helped her up carefully.

"It hurts!" She winced.

"Where?" I asked.

"Everywhere. I want to go to the hospital!"

My heartbeat quickened. She indeed wanted to blackmail me!

"Young girl, do you want to just leave me here? Do you just want to watch me die of pain? What did I do to deserve this!" the old lady said in tears.

"No! I'll take you to the hospital right now. Let's go!" I agreed, having no time to wonder if she was a fraud. Given she was old, I could hardly refuse her.

I took her to the nearest hospital, and she was fine as the examination showed. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief since it didn't cost a lot.

"I'm hungry!" the old lady said after we left the hospital.

Seeing her skinny figure, I couldn't bear to let her down, so I also agreed. Fortunately, she didn't mean to pick on me and finished the meal at a clean restaurant nearby.

I was worried that she would ask for something else. To my surprise, after the meal, the old lady took the initiative to say, "Young lady, I've already wasted a lot of your time. Hurry up and go to work!"

"Ma'am, there you go. It's not much, but please take it!" I gave all my money to her after paying the meal for her.

"Young lady, you are truly a good person. Good things will happen to you!"

I smiled at her. Since the bus I was taking arrived, I bid farewell to her and hurriedly got on the bus. What I didn't notice is that after I left, a Lincoln limousine slowly stopped in front of the old lady. The driver got down and opened the car door respectfully for her, and she got in the car in an elegant manner. She looked totally different.

I rushed to the company. As soon as I arrived, I could clearly feel that it was completely different from in the morning. They no longer dared to have intense discussions. Instead, everyone was careful, as if someone horrible was at the office.

"Why are you still here? Hurry up! Don't you know the Matriarch is here? Do you want to get fired?"

"Is she that scary?"

"Of course, she is extremely picky. She doesn't come to the company frequently, but every time she comes, we are going to suffer a lot!"

Before I went in the elevator, I heard two receptionists whispering to each other. Before I could catch what they were saying, the elevator door closed. I then put it behind me.
