Chapter 71: Chapter 71

“Can’t I see Ryan?” I asked her as her expression changed. She looked at me for a while and sighed.

“I don’t know Mari, Mark is just furious after finding that he was hiding you and especially that he had made you his wife.” I bit my lower lip and shook my head because I can’t stay without him.

“I want to see him. I treated him badly for a week because I didn’t know Marianna was me” My heart tightened because of the way I ignored him last week. I even chased him out of the room.

“I can understand Mari but your brother is someone that we shouldn’t mess with. He’s not the same gentle man from years ago.” She gently took my hands and said with a worried face.

“Alright, I don’t want to see Ryan. I just want to see my son.” She shook her head and smiled at me.

“Please just calm down and stay for a while. I’ll try to do something” She said. I nodded at her because I was just helpless.

“Rest now. Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll make anything you like” She smiled and pinched my cheek gently and I smiled at her.

“Anything” She nodded at me and left the room. I sighed and walked around the room and opened the little pink cupboard. Then I saw a photo album and took it out. With so many unknown emotions I slowly opened it….

………………

~ Mark ~

I didn’t want to shout at her as soon as I found her and took her back home. I sighed and went to my office and collapsed on the sofa. I still didn’t know what happened to her in the past and where’s my brother. My blood started to boil again as I remembered Ryan. Bastard.. No wonder why he didn’t let me see his wife that day. Of course he fucking married my sister. I’ll make him pay for what he did.

“Boss… Found everything” I looked at my assistant and nodded at him. He came to me and stood in front of me as he looked at me with a worried look. What the fuck?

“Speak” I was impatient. I couldn’t wait and I wanted to know as soon as possible but I was scared.

“Young lady was the surrogate for Ryan Winston. She had sold herself to Winston family because she wanted to save the little young master’s life. He had lung cancer. Little young master passed away years ago because someone ordered to kill him and Grace has helped them to kill the little young master. Young lady doesn’t know about anything and Ryan Winston had killed the man who gave wrong medicine to little young master” Dead? My brother? And my sister has sold her body to save him. I felt the throbbing pain inside of my chest and I couldn’t bear what I just heard.

I couldn’t even see him grow up. I don’t know about his look. He was a child. I couldn’t even love him and give my everything to him. I felt hot tears were trying to come out of my eyes but I forced myself not to.

“Grace is Ryan’s grandma?” I asked as he nodded at me.

“Boss, Ryan.. he has killed a few men that were related to the little young master’s death. I heard when he found out about his death he went crazy and shot the doctor who took care of the little young master on the spot” My heart turned cold with an unknown feeling. Ryan.. did he even care? All of these happened because of his goddamn family. Fucking bastard.

“Alright, you go and find out about the connections that Grace had with outsiders” I said as I got up from the sofa and went to finish some work. Then my phone rang and I quickly looked at the caller id and saw it’s Gwen.

“Hey babe” I answered the call while rubbing my forehead.

“Daddy, it’s me… I need to tell you a secret.” My heart covered with a warm feeling as I heard my son’s voice. I chuckled as he said he has a secret to tell. This guy really had so many secrets to tell me. I wonder if he again hit someone secretly.

“Hmm. Daddy is listening” I said as I heard him take a deep breath.

“Daddy I hear mommy and aunty talking about something” What? Did he listen to adults talk? This kid.

“Didn’t I teach you that kids shouldn’t listen to when adults are talking?” I asked him with a serious tone and I heard him sigh.

“Daddy, wait. I didn’t and this is really important to you” What this brat is trying to say now? Did he again do something that could make his mommy angry?

“It’s about mommy’s b.. Myles” Before he could finish I heard Gwen’s voice.

“What were you doing baby?” I again heard Gwen’s lovely voice and my heart again filled with love. No matter how many years I spent with this woman. Everyday my love for her just grew up.

“Talking to daddy, you talk to him mommy. I’m going to see aunty” I listened to Myles pout and I smiled. He was really upset because he couldn’t tell his secret to me.

“Hey, you okay?” Soon after I heard Gwen’s voice and I sighed.

“Hmm..” I leaned against the chair and looked at the picture that was hanging on the wall in my office.

“Mark, don’t shout at her again okay? She’s pregnant. We can’t make her sad” She spoke with a worried tone and I didn’t want to agree but I had to because Marianna is pregnant. The hardest thing for me to believe was that she’s pregnant with Ryan’s child. Shit.

“Alright” I said as I remembered that Ryan will definitely come today when he finds Marianna is with me. That’s good I tied up that butler so he won’t be able to call Ryan soon.

“Come home early and what do you want me to make for dinner?” She asked me.

“Anything Marianna likes” I let out a deep breath and said.

“I asked, she said anything.” Marianna doesn’t remember anything and of course she doesn’t remember how much she liked when Gwen made chicken and sweet corn soup.

“You remember she likes chicken and sweet corn soup you make?” I asked and I heard her giggle through the phone.

“Yes, I’ll make it. I’m going. Love you babe” with that she just hung up the call without even letting me say anything.
