Chapter 79 Remember to Take the Medicine, Mr. Redford
Her voice became tender soon, "Rachael, I know you worry about my health. I'm fine. I can't let Marlon
handle everything for me. He has many things to deal with. He will be tired."
"Alicia, you should have a good rest these days!" Marlon suddenly said to her.
Alicia's eyes widened in surprise. She tried to say something. Marlon said, "I will take charge of this
project!"
"Marlon!" It was unbelievable and Alicia looked at Marlon in surprise.
"I'll have someone send you back!" Marlon called the driver to send Alicia back. His voice was even
colder than before. No one could disobey him.
To be honest, not only Alicia, but I was surprised. I don't know if it was an illusion. I felt that Marlon was
quite easygoing today.
"Well. Marlon, remember to have a rest. If you can't manage all this, do tell me!" Alicia was unwilling to
leave, but she could only smile and said this to Marlon.
Marlon nodded. Alicia was reluctant to part with him said a lot. Finally, she walked up to me and said,
"Rachael, Marlon is very busy. There are many things you can come to discuss with me."
Alicia's eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. I know that if it weren't for Marlon, Alicia would
have slapped me in the face. Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance today.
I smiled, "Alicia, have a good rest. Nothing is more important than you and your baby. You don't have to
worry. Leave this project to me and Marlon." I intentionally stressed the last three words. I clearly saw
Alicia's expression change, but she had to keep up her image since Marlon was here. Thus, she could
only leave with a smile.
Alicia left and closed the door. Only Marlon and I were in the office. Suddenly, it was very quiet.
Kieran said that his ultimate goal was to let Marlon fall in love with me, and it was also my ultimate
goal. Only if he fell in love with me can I give my baby an intact family, and can I let Alicia feel all the
despair I had experienced back then.
However, how to make Marlon fall in love with me!
I had thought about this question for a long time, but I still haven't figured it out. However, there's one
thing for sure. I shouldn't be like before. I used to follow his steps and love him deeply without letting
him know, wishing to get a little reward from him. That old way didn't work.
Now, I wouldn't lower myself to Marlon. If I trample my dignity into the soil, Marlon would despise me From NôvelDrama.Org.
even more, and Alicia would also laugh at me.
I must regard myself as equal to Marlon.
I thought I was smart. No. The fact was that I deceived myself that Marlon didn't know I loved him so
deeply, so I kept concealing my love. I was even more ridiculous and more miserable than a clown.
Therefore, before there is any obvious change in Marlon's attitude towards me, I should treat him like a
friend. I have to stay at an apt distance to him.
Thoughts quickly flew into my brain and I thought it was quite ridiculous. Regardless of all the despair
and pains I had suffered, I still loved Marlon so deeply. Otherwise, I would not love the child in my belly
so much. But now, the pure love I had for him was gone. From now on, I can no longer let myself be
dominated by that. I must rationally consider my relationship with Marlon.
Marlon, Alicia, and I were like three players in a game. If I win, then I could be with Marlon. If I lose this
time, then I would never have a chance to have a turnaround.
Thinking of the fact that love should be won with wisdom and controlled by rationality, rather than
emotions, I felt really sad since love was no longer a pure emotion between two lovers.
However, I had no choice. Even if it was miserable, I was willing to do as long as Marlon could fall in
love with me!
"What tricks do you want to play this time?" After a long silence, Marlon suddenly asked. His voice was
cold, tens of thousands of times colder than the way he had just said to Alicia. His black eyes fixed
straight on me like a sharp knife, looking as if to slice me apart and study me carefully.
Marlon's words pulled me from my complicated thoughts. I held back all my emotions and leaned lazily
on the sofa, smiling gracefully, "Mr. Redford, you're wrong. I'm playing tricks? Why did you say this? I
was just starting from the perspective of a pregnant woman. I said those for the safety of Alicia and her
baby. I just hope that Alicia can have a good rest. I was just suggesting. The person who made the final
decision was you, Mr. Redford! "
Marlon's eyes were still fixed on me. He didn't say anything, but he stared at me with cold eyes.
"Therefore, Mr. Redford, please do not blame this on me. I will be afraid!" I smiled faintly.
The office fell into silence again, but Marlon's gaze still stared at me like a knife and I failed to pretend
that I did not see it.
My heart was beating fast. The longer Marlon looked at me, the more scared I was.
Over the past four years, I had already gotten used to everything about Marlon. I had admired him and
also feared him. Every day and even every minute of those four years, I had been worried that Marlon
would be unhappy. Therefore, even if I tried to calm down and to become equal to him, it was
impossible.
However, no matter how terrified I was, I can't show it on my face. I forced myself to calm down. Taking
out the contract from my bag, I walked to Marlon and handed it to him, "Mr. Redford, since you're so
busy, let's talk about the project. If there's nothing wrong, please sign it. From now on, I'll be fully in
charge of the project!"
Marlon didn't take the contract, and he still stared at me, as if to see into the depths of my soul.
"Mr. Redford, you are so cool!" I forced a smile and handed the contract forward. Marlon took it and
signed without looking at it. Then he kept one copy and returned the other to me. I looked at him in
surprise. I didn't expect him to sign so quickly without even looking at it. If this contract wasn't printed
by myself, I would have suspected that Marlon must have set up a trap for me.
"Mr. Redford, do you have any suggestion for this project?" I took the contract back and put it in my
bag. Then I sat down on the sofa.
Marlon sat opposite me and said indifferently, "Show me when you are done!"
I was stunned. I thought that Marlon would make things difficult for me. I didn't expect that he should
offer no comment.
"Alright, I will definitely do it well!" I smiled and clenched my fists behind. I will definitely take care of the
fruit of your love for Alicia.
Marlon looked at me and didn't say anything.
"Since we have finished our discussion, I'll see myself out." I took my bag and was about to leave.
Although I didn't turn around, I knew that Marlon was still looking at me.
I walked to the door and suddenly turned back. I took out the medicine for stomachache from my bag
and handed to Marlon, "I passed by the pharmacy this morning and bought it. You can ask your
secretary to buy some porridge later. Remember to take this. You didn't eat anything in the morning, so
you must feel uncomfortable with your stomach."
From the moment I entered the office, I noticed that Marlon's face was getting paler and paler. I knew
that Marlon didn't have the habit of having breakfast. Actually, sometimes I found it very strange. It's
really strange that a person who knew that he had stomach problems still insisted on not having
breakfast every day. He just waited for the stomachache every day.
Marlon was a typical case. In the past, when we were together, if I hadn't prepared the porridge in
advance and placed it on the table every day, he wouldn't have had it. At that time, even if everything
was prepared for him, he would just have one or two mouthfuls.
"Remember to take the medicine. I'm leaving!" I turned around and was about to leave when Marlon
grabbed my hand. I looked into his eyes, which were black and bright.
