Simon was stunned and he actually couldn't answer her.
He was not related to Grace, but technically, he was Grace's brother-in-law then. So, he should still be considered her relative.
Seeing that Simon was hesitant to answer, Marry said with a calm expression, "Are you not answering because you dare not answer, or is it because you feel guilty?"
Simon broke out in cold sweat at her question.
He gasped at her, looking a little embarrassed, he said, "Marry, I..."
He didn't know how to continue.
Marry smiled and slowly approached him.
She quickly arrived by his side. Simon could even smell the perfume that smelled expensive, lingering in the air.
It was a classy scent.
Simon could tell that it was from a luxurious French brand. The scent was light and fragrant.
His body stiffened as he smelled the scent. He felt tense, and he didn't dare look at Marry.
Marry walked around Simon and her eyes was fixed on him. He was different.
Simon had changed.
He was no longer the handsome man she used to know. There was a scar on his face and he lost half of his ear. Although he was trying hard to cover those flaws with his hair, he still couldn't hide the fact that he had aged poorly.
He was no longer looking like his usual goodlooking self.
Marry sighed with sorrow. It was as if she was feeling sorry for him. Simon immediately reacted. "Marry."
Marry smiled. "Simon, what are we actually fighting for? We know we can never win against them, yet we risked everything to fight against them. What's the point? We wasted most of our lives in this and we still failed."
Simon was in a trance. No one knew what he was thinking.
"I'm glad I finally came to realize what I should and shouldn't do. However, that doesn't seem like the case for you. You're still obsessed with your fantasy of ruining their marriage. Even if you can't ruin their marriage, you are still trying to mess with them. You are angry, you are frustrated, you think you deserve better, and you are unwilling to accept the reality. This is why you are still hung up over this despite knowing you can never beat them," Marry said.
Simon felt that Marry had hit the nail on its head.
Marry had completely exposed his thoughts with her words.
He was indeed attempting to mess with their lives even if he couldn't come in between their marriage.
He knew that he could not shake it up.
However, he was still attempting to do so.
It was a hopeless battle.
She was right.
It was indeed hopeless.
He smiled bitterly. "Have you finally accepted your fate?"
"Yes. Why wouldn't I?" Marry asked with a smile, "Should I continue to act desperately then, not knowing my own ability? I don't want to go back to jail again. I've had enough and I've done things that I've never done before in there, and I'm sure that it was the same for you too."
Simon was startled. She was right.
He had endured way too much in jail. He had done so many things in there, and his dignity was on
the floor.
It wasn't just a hard time.
It was a humiliating experience.
Marry sighed as she looked at him. "See, you think the same too. Don't let your obsession ruin your life."
Simon was silent.
Marry gave another wry smile. "If I didn't try to ruin things for Grace, I might already have my own child by now. It's a pity to think of it now as I've already passed the best age to give birth to a child. I don't even know if I can ever be pregnant now."
She missed the best age to be pregnant.
What she said deeply triggered Simon's thoughts.
Her words were like a stick hitting hard right at Simon's heart.
He was frozen in place.
He was like a statue, standing still for a long time.
