Female Novel
Chapter 58 Have You Kept Some Other Things From Me?
Stefan didn't want Martha to leave before she paid her respects to his parents.
Upon hearing his words, Hollie walked up immediately to tug his sleeve.
"Stefan, let Martha go. She doesn't love or care about Mr. and Mrs. Harrison. If you insist on letting her
stay, she'll feel awkward," Hollie explained on Martha's behalf.
However, in an angle that Stefan didn't see, Martha captured the triumphant smile on Hollie's face.
By instinct, Stefan frowned at Martha.
Wearing a faint smile, Martha didn't speak while pressing her lips together.
Seeing that, Hollie added, "Martha, you must be super busy recently. You can leave. Stefan and I can
stay here to pay our respects to Mr. and Mrs. Harrison."
Martha snorted, "I want to go because it's too crowded for three to stand here. If you really want to pay
your respects, you can come here any day instead of today. Your coming here today is too intentional."
"Well, please go on. I won't disturb you." novelbin
With those words, Martha turned away.
Stefan watched her leave with a frown. When he was about to follow her, Hollie pulled his arm.
"Don't go, Stefan. I want to talk to you."
"What do you want to talk about?" Stefan asked icily, scowling at her.
Hollie could tell Martha had gone far from the corner of her eyes.
Staring up at Stefan pitifully, she said, "Stefan, you should remember I was by your side for a long time
after Mr. and Mrs. Harrison passed away, right?"
Stefan's gaze softened as he heard this.
He would never forget her kindness.
That was why he always treated Hollie well. After all, that was the warmth from his childhood, and he
would never forget it.
Only then he noticed Hollie's pale face and red, swollen eyes.
Stefan replied quietly, "I remember it. Without you, I wouldn't moved past it so quickly."
"For this matter's sake, can you forgive my lie earlier?"
Hollie stared at her gingerly, her eyes full of timidity.
Stefan realized she was talking about the truth she had disclosed in the hospital the other day.
Pressing his thin lips together, he didn't answer.
Hollie tugged his arm in grievance and said in an entreating voice, "Stefan, I did it because I loved you
so much."
"Since childhood, I've dreamed of marrying you. You met Martha and me at the same time. Martha was
so outstanding. I was afraid you would ignore me but only loved Martha, so I... I lied to you."
"Can you forgive me for that? I promise I'll never lie to you again."
Hollie looked at him while begging. Her voice trailed off, her face full of guilt.
Stefan watched her in silence.
Lowering her eyes, Hollie added in a sad tone, "I know I cannot be comparable to Martha... If you feel
sorry for her, why don't you chase her?"
Thinking Martha turned away without hesitation, Stefan frowned.
He calmly pulled away from Hollie and reminded her frigidly, "Don't lie again in the future."
Hollie nodded hard and answered with a smile, "Of course. I won't lie to you again."
She kept studying Stefan's expression.
She was relieved to see that the man was not angry with her again.
However, the next second, Stefan asked unfathomably, "Have you kept anything else from me?"
