Chapter 1088
Comelia said, âYou go see him, Iâll wait hereâ
Marcus knew Cornelia had a bone to pick with Zavier because of Skyler. She didnât want to set foot near Zavier and Marcus didnât push her. âAlright thenâ
A bit later.
Marcus saw Zavier, his hair had turned gray This guy, not even thirty, seemed to have aged overnight. He was lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, not uttering
a word
When Marcus walked in, he didnât react
Marcus sat at his bedside, âZavierâ
Zavier didnât move, didnât respond
Marcus continued, âSkylerâs been burnt to a crisp.â
At the mention of Skylerâs name, two tears rolled down Zavierâs face and then he chuckled, âHere to rub salt in my wounds, are ya?â
Marcus asked. âYou really think Iâd do that?â
Zavier said, âDoes it really matter to me?â
Marcus said, âIâm here to talk about Skylerâ
Every time he heard Skylerâs name, Zavierâs heart ached as if stabbed, but he wouldnât admit it, âDonât bring up that heartless woman in front of me.â
Marcus looked at his gray hair and the tears in his eyes, shaking his head in frustration, âLook at the state youâre in, still playing tough. Donât you get why she had to leave?
Zavier said, âI donât know, do you?â
Marcus said, âYou once told me you liked her, but did you ever tell her? Did you ever show her in your dayâtoâday life?â
Zavier said, âYouâve only been hitched a hot minute, donât pretend to be a love guru.â
Marcus said, âIâm no expert, but I know the first rule of liking someone is to respect them.â
Zavier laughed, then cried, âSheâs been with me since she was a teenager. Sheâs an integral part of my life. So sheâs seen my worst side. I thought she understood me, and I never hid my emotions from her. I wore my heart on my sleeve. The Blue family needed money. I knew they didnât have the chops to run a company, and that my investment might go down the drain. But because they were her family, her support, I still forked over some cash to the Blues. But how did they repay me? How did she treat me? She actually aborted our child, thinking about leaving me. She actually thought about leaving me! I loved her so much, why did she want to leave me? Marc, you tell me! Iâm begging you, tell me why.â
