Chapter 9 You are the First One
Chapter 9 You are the First One
Staring at her fair face, Mark was stunned. Although he had seen a lot of women, he had never kissed any one of them.
His lips were like a taboo in the hell that no one dared to touch. If someone really offended them, that someone must come to no good end.
However, at this moment, he could do nothing but let her kiss him.
To his own surprise, he didn't have the impulse to get angry and push her away.
She left his lips.
She stared at the man with her bright black eyes.
So that was his face.
Although his face was covered with scars and looked scared at first sight, his face was really gorgeous.
He had a pair of deep eyes, a high bridged nose and sexy thin lips....
Jessie could be sure that he used to be a very handsome man! There was no doubt! It's a pity that things turned out to be like this.
A smile played on his lips. Mark looked at her and said, "that's all?" Seeing that Jessie was still in a daze, he continued, "no one dared to take off my mask so far. You are the first one. Jessie, I'm really curious. Aren't you afraid of me when you see me like this?" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Jessie sneered, "afraid? Haven't you heard the saying that 'the most terrible thing in the world is the mind of human beings'? Is there anything more horrible than human beings' mind?" Compared with
those vicious minds, she felt that the ugly appearance was nothing to be afraid of. If people's mind became ugly, what was the use of beautiful appearance?
The sadness flashing across Jessie's eyes fell into the eyes of Mark.
Was she acting?
"Tell me why you didn't show up that day." He wanted to see how she would explain the missing three days.
Jessie paused for a moment, repeating what she had just said to Nelson. Seeing that Mark's face was still normal, she was secretly relieved. Although this sounded a bit ridiculous, but at least, it was much more normal than being kidnapped.
"You are from a rich and powerful family. You didn't have a driver? Your father loved both of you very much, how could he let no driver to escort you? Besides, if you encountered taxi robbery, why did you disappear for two days? Why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you go to the police station when you came back? Why did you stay at home and heal your wounds instead........ Miss Jessie, are you lying to me? Or those hearsays are all wrong?"
Mark's questions poked Jessie's heart. She didn't expect that he would ask so many questions.
It seemed that he was a tough nut to crack.
Seeing that Jessie didn't say anything and didn't argue with him, a sneer appeared on Mark's lips.
"Miss Jessie, have you ever thought of the day when your lie will be disclosed?! I thought you were different from others. It turned out that you are just one of them. In order to marry me, you did whatever you could....... Let me tell you, women like playing cat and mouse games, trying to get men's sympathy by playing the pitiful trick on me, it doesn't work on me at all! I've seen a lot of women like you!"
"How dare you say that about me! I admit that I am lying and I also admit that I am trying my best to stop you from breaking off the engagement. But do you really think that I really want to marry you?" Jessie's eyes, which were originally with guilty, were sharp in an instant. She looked straight into Mark's sharp eyes.
"Yes, I made up a reason to lie to you, but I didn't mean to break my promise on that day. As for the reason why I didn't come, I believe that you won't listen to it. Even if I did say it, that reason wouldn't convince me, let alone you! There is a hearsay that Darren is a good father, but you have no idea about what he really is. If your perception of him is only hearsay, then there is nothing to talk about between us. If you don't want to..."
"Mr. Mark, the Lin family is here. Mr. Nelson asked you and Miss Jessie to go to the main building."
The servant's arrival interrupted Jessie, and she woke up immediately.
What did she say just now? She came here to apologize. But what did she do just now?
Jessie bit her lips bitterly. 'Jessie, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind? You said you wanted to protect your mom and brother!'
After the servant left, Mark turned to Jessie. "Miss. Jessie, you can continue what you haven't said."
"…… I, I have nothing to say." Jessie was so frustrated.
"Nothing else?" Raising his eyebrows, Mark said, "okay. Since you don't want to tell me, I'll tell you. From what you said just now, I can tell that you don't want to marry me at all. You are forced to do it, and you even choose to compromise for some reason. In fact, you are very resistant to this marriage. Miss Jessie, am I right?"
Jessie was stunned. Mark was smart and that was beyond her expectation. She just gave vent to a few words, but unexpectedly, her thoughts were all seen through by him.
"No, I didn't mean that. I..."
"Well, you don't have to explain. I understand."
Before Jessie could say anything, he asked the servant to push him into the elevator.
Jessie sighed, looking depressed. It seemed that their marriage had been ruined completely.
In the main building, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleased.
"Dad." "Mr. Nelson." Mark gently called. Jessie also said hello, and sat down beside Darren.
Nelson looked at Jessie and asked, "Jessie, how about your talking with Mark? He has a bad temper. You should be more tolerant of him."
"……" Jessie took a glance at Mark, while a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
'No matter how bad his temper was, it had nothing to do with her.
Wasn't his words suggesting that he wouldn't marry her?
What was the tolerance about?' Jessie thought!
They chatted without saying a word about the engagement. The three men talked. Although Mark didn't say much, his words hit the nail on the head.
They looked harmonious on the surface, but there was a strong murderous storm behind.
At lunch time, Nelson asked them to have lunch with him, but he was turned down by Darren.
When Darren and Jessie just walked out of the Lan family's house, Darren suddenly said, "take care of yourself and move to the Lan family's house next week."
Uh... Jessie was confused. She asked foolishly, "why would I move there?"
"You are going to marry Mr. Mark. You should move into the Lan family." Darren cast a look of disgust at her and said, "you're lucky this time. Instead of looking into it, the Lan family agreed to let you get married as soon as possible. If you messed up this marriage, I'll teach you a lesson."
Jessie didn't hear what Darren said. She just responded him and fell into deep thought.
'Will Mark marry me?
But he said he had known what's in her mind. How could he still....
What's going on?'
Jessie was confused at all!
