After a long pause, Zavier finally said slowly, "Despite all the opposition from the Rivera family, taking a huge risk and pressure, I spared no expense and effort to help the Blue family get back on their feet. I took care of all of Skyler Blue's worries, why does she still hate me so much?”
Marcus replied casually, "You're asking me? How should I know?"
Marcus' answer made Zavier feel stuck, "Can't you help me analyze this? Why would she rather die than stay by my side?"
Marcus said, "What you did to her, you know better than anyone."
Zavier's tall figure slightly swayed at these words, yes, no one knew better than him what he did to Skyler.
He stubbed out his cigarette, and then lit another one, "I've known Skyler for ten years, a whole decade. We first met when she was fourteen, she moved in with me when she was eighteen, I always thought she couldn't leave me. Until the day she had an accident, I realized it wasn't her who couldn't leave me, but me who couldn't leave her."
Marcus just listened quietly, as for matters of love and relationships, he who was inexperienced had no good advice to give.
And other than Marcus, Zavier didn't know who else to turn to for answers, "Marc, tell me, what should I do to get her back?"
This question really stumped Marcus.
Ask him how to make money, he could give you hundreds of ways.
But how to win back your wife, that was a problem he was facing himself.
He also lit a cigarette, "Cornelia would rather take out a loan to buy a house, paying most of her salary every month for the mortgage, than accept the house I gave her. Today, despite all my efforts, I still couldn't get her to agree to have dinner with me."
Mentioning Cornelia, Zavier seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "How about you call Cornelia over, I'll ask her to find out what Skyler is thinking?"
Marcus gave him a look, "Don't think about using Cornelia."
Bang, bang, bang--
