Chapter 870
How many times had he rejected her before? He couldn't remember clearly anymore!
But this time, he no longer had the heart to reject her!
Some matters were coming to the point where they had to be resolved.
The servant was a bit surprised, but he didn't say anything and immediately went to excitedly inform
the Lady.
In the backyard of the Shelby residence.
The decor here was very simple.
It was even a little shabby.
Anyone who saw this place would not imagine it was the layout a tycoon family should have.
Todd Shelby had always refused to renovate this place.
Because this place held too many memories between him and Chris Shelby's mother.
Every blade of grass, every tree, all carried love! All carried memories!
Whoever dared to randomly touch a single blade of grass or tree here was asking to die!
At this moment in the backyard.
Marie was carefully arranging every dish.
She used to be the young miss of the Jenkins family, never having to worry about food or clothing, and
could be said to have never done any labor.
But after marrying Todd Shelby, she changed.
For her man, she did all sorts of work like washing clothes and cooking.
This would have been unimaginable in the Jenkins family!
The Jenkins family was the leader of the four big tycoon families!
Who would dare to make the esteemed young miss of the Jenkins family do labor?
Who would dare to make the esteemed young miss of the Jenkins family live as a widow!
Todd Shelby dared!
Other than the wedding night when Todd Shelby was drunk and Marie served him for a night,
after that Todd Shelby always slept in the study.
Although outwardly the couple seemed respectful over the years,
Marie knew that Todd Shelby's heart still couldn't forget his former wife!
The Jenkins family had long been extremely dissatisfied with Todd Shelby!novelbin
But Marie always maintained her husband's image in the Jenkins family!
She absolutely would not allow anyone to say a bad thing about Todd Shelby.
Just like now, upon knowing Todd Shelby would be coming over,
Marie was overjoyed. She dressed up meticulously and hummed songs as she prepared.
Like a happy little sparrow.
Ahem!
At this moment, a light cough sounded from the doorway.
Marie turned her head, first startled, then with eyes brimming with tears, immediately beaming with joy!
She hurriedly went over and said, "Todd, you finally came... I made some refreshments you like, hurry
and try them!"
Seeing Marie's expectant look, Todd Shelby suddenly felt a little heartache.
Over all these years, was what he did wrong or right!
Back then, he had already wronged Chris Shelby's mother.
And now, he had also wronged Marie.
Sigh...
Karmic debt!
It was just a pity.
Back then, those people, those terrifying major powers, wouldn't let him off! Wouldn't let the Shelby
family off!
The powerless him back then was the same powerless him now, still so insignificant!
Still lacking the power for revenge!
By now, Marie had pulled Todd Shelby over to sit down.
She smiled and said, "Todd, this osmanthus cake is your favorite, I specially asked the chef to teach
me how to make it. Try it and see! Back then Lian..."
Speaking to here, Marie suddenly realized something and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Her face turned slightly pale, her eyes instantly reddening.
She was too impatient!
Over the years, in order to please Todd Shelby,
she had learned everything about that woman.
In her excitement just now, she had said what she shouldn't have!
It was a pity...
No matter how hard she tried,
she could never replace that woman's position in Todd Shelby's heart.
In fact, Marie had never hoped that she could replace that woman.
She only hoped that Todd Shelby could reserve a tiny spot for her in his heart.
