Chapter 429 - Revenge 430: Your Husband Is A Big Flirt (1/2)

”Now, now. I know this might sound bad, but if they didn't do what they did to your mother, your mother wouldn't be here. And you two would not be here.” It may sound selfish, but that is what Marcus thinks. He is glad that what happened to Mary, happened. Because if that did not happen, Mary would not have run away, then she would not have met his son, and of course, the twins would not have been born.

Despite the horrible things that happened to Marcus, Marcus is glad that all of those horrible things that happened to Mary, Mary ended up being a part of the Coleman family. And she is now happy with a family that really cares for her.

Aaron stared at his grandfather and said, ”I'm gonna be blunt, and I'm sorry being blunt, but I don't like what you just said, Grandfather. I hate them. Even if I hate it, you... you were right. Mom would not be here if it weren't for them.”

Marcus chuckled and said, ”Oh. You seriously got that character of yours from your father. It's annoying.” Although he is annoyed by Aaron's bluntness and rudeness, he can't help but just put on a smile. He really missed having quality time together with his family.

Ever since what happened with James, they never had the time to have a good quality time together.

In a quiet room, both Mary and Arion are laying in bed. Not saying any words to each other. The conversation that they had with Martha really did a number on their stress.

First, it was only an emergency call from their daughter that Marcus fainted, and when they got home, they got his by the secrets that Martha and Marcus were hiding from them.

”I hate this. I hate being kept in the dark, Arion.” Mary knows that she has no right to say such words because she also hides things from her children, but this time she felt that it's a different matter.

Her husband didn't bother to tell her anything about the Ricci's threats and just disappeared for so many years. And now, her father-in-law and Martha didn't confide her about their plans to lure out the Ricci family.

Every bad that events that have been happening lately, Mary can't help but think that all of it is connected to the Ricci family. She is sick and tired of hearing that family name. Even sometimes, she is disgusted that the blood running through her veins is the same as theirs.

”I'm sorry.” Arion blurted out. He could not think of anything else to say and just apologize for everything that he did to his wife. He was in wrong and he knows that. No matter how many times he apologizes, nothing will ever change and all he could think of is to make it up to her for his absence in her life.

”I'm sorry too. I should not have involved with you in the first place. If I had not, then you wouldn't be getting so many headaches because of them.” For the longest time, the one who has been supporting her against her so-called family was her husband. He has always been there for her, and all she can do is cry that she's afraid of them.

The people who knew about her is scare of her, but once they get to know her more properly, their opinion about her might change. She's strong on the outside, but she's actually weak on the inside. She can't even have the guts to face her nightmares, and she feels bad that her husband is always helping her while she's doing nothing.

Arion sat up, then he looks down at Mary and he said, ”Mary, don't you ever say that. Sure, it's a headache trying to do everything that I can to protect our family, but that does not mean I regret tying knots with you. If you didn't show up in my life, then I wouldn't be the person that I am now, and the wouldn't be here. We wouldn't have two incredible children.”

Whenever Mary talks like this, Arion always gets upset about it. He can't stand it. But what can he do? No matter what, Mary will still be haunted by her childhood trauma. The only he can think of to fix this problem is to remove the culprits of that trauma.

With a slight grin plastered on her face, Mary looks straight into Arion's eyes and said, ”You know, whenever you talk like that, it's making me very happy, and I hate being 'very happy.'”

”Well, what can I say, your husband is a big flirt.” Arion slowly moves his face towards Mary, but before his lips could even touch hers, someone loudly knocked on the door. ”Who is it?!” Arion angrily asked. He is so upset that someone ruined the perfect for him to have his wife.

”It's us, Father.” Aaron's voice was heard from the outside of the room.

”If you have something to talk about with me, we can do it later. I'm having a conversation with your mother.” Arion said.
