Chapter 990

The more Martin explained, the quieter and hoarser his voice became.

Even so, he sounded determined.

"I'm sorry, Lulu. It wont happen again.’

Lulu looked into his eyes, stunned for a second and at a loss the next.

She should not have known, but...

She simply sat on bed in silence because she had no words.

There was nothing to explain here because it had happened before they were married, and Martin knew it too.

If he took offense, he would have to deal with that himself, and she would respect any choice he made.

She pulled up her blanket, closed her eyes, and snapped, "Sleep!"

She was so weirdly calm that she surprised herself!

"Are you angry?" Martin asked.

"No," she replied—and it was the truth.

After all, she had no right to be angry. It was something about her that made him uncomfortable and therefore her

fault.

What should she say?

Apologize?

That would be unnecessary because that had been clear from the start and she did not have to worry about it now.

Martin knew that too and would therefore take responsibility!

Leaning against her then, he said, "Please give me another chance, Lulu."

Lulu did not push him away-she would not divorce him over this.

But she would not allow a repeat of this!

"Sleep!" she repeated coolly.

Martin understood that she felt somewhat discontented just then and said, "Lulu, humans always make mistakes,

don't they?"

Lulu understood what he was getting at and said, "I'm not upset."

Martin shook his head. "I know you. You must be thinking that you'd divorce me if this happens again."

Lulu said nothing, so he continued, "You seem understanding, but you are selfish too-like right now. You can hit me

or scold me, but you refuse to do so. Instead, you come up with something like planning a divorce, and I don't like

it."

Lulu laughed despite herself. "You don't like it?"

"Yes," Martin replied.

Lulu said nothing again, while he said, "Look. If I had women before I had you, wouldn't your thoughts stray a little

when you see her?!"

Lulu turned toward him then, and he said, "It's human nature. I know it's my fault, but please don't think about a

divorce."

Lulu was silent, but he had a point-she just might take offense in that!

But even if she understood that, she refused to let that happen a second time.

It did not just hurt her physically.

It broke her heart.

"It won't ever happen again-ever," Martin said, burying his face in her hair as he put a hand around her waist. "And

if there's another chance in the next life, I wish I'm the first one who meets you."

Lulu's heart softened then, and she bit her lip. "I know."

"No, you probably don't," Martin said, never feeling this exposed as he bared his heart. "I'm really fond of you."

Even more so after they became married.

He liked being with her so much he felt as if his soul was sucked in.

"Wargh..."

Jean suddenly started crying, and Martin quickly got out of bed to get her.

Lulu watched him then, understanding in that instant why Martin lost control.

There was this splinter stuck in his mind, and that was Jean's identity.

Zachary's appearance and the alcohol left him losing control!

Getting up then, she said, "Give her to me."
