Chapter 71

Marco parents and even the doctor were telling him to rest and not to leave the hospital but Marco ignored them and called his assistant to prepare a car and clothes for him,when the assistant arrived,he saw Marco parents scolding him and the only thing Marco said that finally shut them up was"don't you want your daughter in-law back?"Marco who noticed the assistant got up from the bed and took the clothes,he had already taken a shower so he just went to the bathroom and changed

After wearing the suit he followed his assistant to the car and let him drive to Nian Nian place

Nian Nian had ordered takeout a few minutes ago since the kitchen was empty and she was lazy to go out,when she heard the knock on the door she was surprised by how fast the delivery was but when she opened the door, Marco was standing Infront of her,she was about to close the door but Marco held the door"let's talk"

Nian Nian had never expected this,she hadn't thought he would come find her,they were now sitting beside each other but Nian Nian kept her distance no matter how many time Marco moved close to her,if he moved closer,she'd move away,until she finally reached the end of the long couch but this time,Marco kept the space

"Marco why are you here?" Nian Nian finally asked,she didn't dare look at him but she could feel his eyes on her,it was silent and there was no answer,Nian Nian couldn't help frowning,she turned her head to look at Marco and saw he was staring at her tummy with narrowed eyes, Nian Nian couldn't help putting her hand on her tummy

Marco looked up at her,his eyes full of emotions "I remember in college,the last year when I was drugged by my own roommate who I took in at my place,you who just happened to be passing by helped me back to my place, unaware of what you were getting yourself into"

Nian Nian looks away "that was the first time we met"

"Exactly and even though I forced you,I didn't run away and took responsibility,not because I'm a man but because I fell in love with you and even when we found out you were pregnant..."

Nian Nian eyes was tearing up but she didn't look at Marco,her voice cracked "we promised to not get an abortion and be good parents"

"But I failed,I was busy put in college and let you handle the pregnancy on your own,and there's not a day that goes by,that I didn't wish I was there for you, even after the car accident and miscarriage you didn't blame me,you even accepted to marry me but no matter how much I wanted to be with you... I felt too guilty so I went back to what I did, hanging outside"

Mark moved closer to Nian Nian who was now looking down, crying,he hugs her "I'm a coward and the worst boyfriend you could ever have,you deserve better and I should let you go but I don't want to,I want to get married to you and always have you with me,all my life"

Nian Nian hugs him back,she remembered how after the miscarriage non of them ever talked about it,this was the first time, Cassie,her old parents and her new parents (Cassie parents) knew about it, including Marco parents and she was aware Marco told them not to talk about Infront of her,back then she blamed Marco,but right at this moment she felt like she was suddenly free from those heavy chains of the past
