Let's Get Married

Maxx thinks that she is going to cry, which makes him very nervous, “Is anyone troubling you?”

“I don’t know….” Marina deliberately makes it ambiguous, letting him guess, “I just feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes I’m feels very embarrassed since nobody is with me.”

“What about Rex?”

“He is too busy at work and isn’t at home most of the time. He only comes back at night. When he’s back, Lily will also back. So I… I’m like an outsider, it’s very awkward.”

Maxx is not feeling nice either. He had expected that the three of them will have a lot of inconveniences to live with each other. However, at that time, she insisted on going. He could not say anything because he is not qualified to speak.

Hearing what Marina said at this time, an idea pops in his mind, “Marina, if you feel uncomfortable, move back to the North Villa. I will accompany you and you won’t feel lonely.”

This sentence has already surpassed their relationship. Marina feels disgusted with it. However, she does not show it. She merely finds an excuse, “I’d just moved in, and if I go back now, I’m afraid it’s a bit annoying. Let’s wait for some more time. Wait till I’m better. After the New Year, I will think about it again.”

Maxx thinks her words make sense; after all, New Year is approaching. He has to go home too. Leaving her alone at the Villa is not a good idea, how can she pass the days alone.

“Okay. If something happens, you can contact me anytime. I’m always here.” After that, Maxx seems to have something to say, he pauses, the ‘I miss you so much’ phrase can hardly be spoken. In the end, he gives up, “Bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Marina looks at the clouds outside the window thoughtfully. She could still hear Maxx’s considerate voice. A human’s heart is made of flesh. Having Maxx’s admiration makes Marina a little disgusted. However, it has to be said that he is the only man who treats her wholeheartedly. It is impossible if she is not moved.

She clenches the phone in her palm and secretly prays that everything will happen as she wished.

When Rex returns home in the evening, it is almost ten o’clock. There are also tons of social engagements before the New Year. Even though he has declined most of them, there are still many feasts that he must appear.
