Chapter 872
"Don't mind me, I just couldn't help crying."
"You asked if I regret marrying you?"
"I'll tell you, I have never once regretted marrying you!"
Marie's tears flowed uncontrollably.
She used her hand to wipe them, but the more she wiped the more that came.
It had been five years already! Yet Todd Shelby was still asking her to give up.
What was he thinking! Treating her like some defective product!
If she could have given up, she would have long ago, why wait until now?
Todd Shelby also felt awful inside. He said guiltily, "Marie, I'm sorry!"
Marie squeezed out a smile with great difficulty, "You don't need to apologize, you did nothing wrong!
The one at fault is me. I knew you didn't like me, yet I stubbornly insisted on marrying you!"
"I..."
Before Todd Shelby could get the words out, Marie pleaded, "Todd, can you eat up all the refreshments
today? I'm begging you!"
"Okay!"
Todd Shelby could only nod.
Disregarding image, he ate ravenously. But the more he ate, the more bitter it became...
He couldn't bear to make Marie sad any longer.
But he had already broken Marie's heart.
Neither of them spoke again.
One crying nonstop.
The other silent.
Seeing Todd Shelby was almost done eating, Marie suddenly asked, "That child has returned right?"
"How did you know?"
Todd Shelby looked up in surprise.
"Heh heh!"
Marie laughed mockingly at herself, "Did you really think that being cooped up in this Shelby residence,
I wouldn't know anything?"
"Not only has that child returned, he came back triumphantly like a dragon returning to the sea, causing
huge waves in Middleton. As expected of your and Lian's child! He truly is a real dragon!"
When Marie spoke of Chris Shelby, she even had a proud expression, as if Chris Shelby was her own
child!
Praise and doting could be seen all over her face!
Her reason for inviting Todd Shelby today was not just to see him, but more importantly to ask how he
planned to resolve Chris Shelby's matter.
"Sigh!"
Todd Shelby lightly sighed, "That's right, he's back! I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I knew
you would find out sooner or later."
As the young miss of the Jenkins family, Marie had her own intelligence channels even after marrying
into the Shelby family.
It was impossible to keep happenings in Middleton hidden from her!
"So how do you plan to deal with it now?"
"Right now, rumors about his relationship with the Shelby family are spreading outside. Are you
prepared to let him return home?"
Speaking to here, Marie bit her lip, "If you really want to let him return home, I have no objections!"
Swish!
Hearing this, Todd Shelby looked up sharply.
His eagle-like eyes stared fixedly at Marie.
In Marie's eyes, he only saw sincerity and purity, without any pretense or fakery!
Todd Shelby was shocked! Truly shocked!
He didn't expect Marie to be so understanding.
As a stepmother, Marie was already in an awkward position to begin with.
Yet now, Marie was willing to let Chris Shelby return home?
This showed how great her mind and great her love was to be able to make this decision!novelbin
Because Marie clearly knew that once Chris Shelby returned home, the future head of the Shelby
family would undoubtedly be Chris Shelby!
She would have no more relation whatsoever!
