Chapter 138

Maisie paused, her eyes looking down.

“Why did you suddenly decide to tell me now?”

Stephen never wanted to talk about her mother, and Maisie always thought that he had forgotten about

her. She would feel sad whenever she saw Willow and Leila.

Stephen saw the dismay in her eyes, and his heart was heavy. “I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t want

to get into it.”

“I always wanted to know, did you really hate my mother that much?”

She had given him a daughter but wasn’t better than Leila?

Stephen gnashed his teeth. “You don’t know what happened between your mother and me, and you think

that I hate her?”

Maisie looked away without saying a word.

“Zee, you probably didn’t know that when your mother married me, she came to me. We didn’t get

married for love at first.”

Not for love?

Maisie was stumped with surprise.

Stephen looked sad. “I was young and ambitious, wanting to build a career in Bassburgh after leaving

Coralia. But I kept getting stonewalled until I met your mother.

“Your mother suddenly said something that shocked me. She said we should get married, and she would

help me build my empire in Bassburgh. All I needed to do was give her a place to settle down.”

Stephen had been under the impression that Marina was joking at that time since they had just met for a

few days. He could tell that the girl sitting in front of him was an elegant and bright

woman-any man would be tempted.

He did need to settle down and build a name for himself in Bassburgh, so he agreed, but under the

condition that they would not interfere with each others’ life after the wedding, just like a contract. She

had said that if he found a woman that he fell in love with, he would be able to ask for a divorce at any

time. 1

They then registered for marriage and didn’t even have a wedding ceremony. It was a simple process

that made them husband and wife only at face value.

Marina was indeed impressive and capable. She built Vaenna Jewelry up within two years, with every

single item designed by her.

And just like that, they spent two years together, day and night. Marina’s outstanding capability matched

her charm. He couldn’t deny that he had developed feelings for her and even wished that

they would become more than just a face-value couple.

Stephen took a deep breath, his heart a little bitter. “Your mother might have never fallen for me. I never

knew why she picked me, and I knew that there was someone else in her heart.”

Maisie’s face gradually turned pale.

It seemed to be the truth, and that was hard for her to swallow.

“She was always cold to me. Even when I tried to cross that line, she wouldn’t agree. I really did think of

being with her. I would do anything just as long as she would accept my love.

“But she kept rejecting me, and I ran out of ideas. I got together with Leila just to make her jealous. I told

your mother, and I hoped that she would give me a firm answer.

“She still stood her ground.” Stephen’s eyes were empty. “Later on, I cut ties with Leila and stayed with

your mother until two years after that when she agreed to have you. It was the happiest time of my life.”

He had been happy because Marina had finally accepted him and would spend her life with him, even

giving him Zee. She had been less frigid, but he knew that he hadn’t fully captured her heart.
