Chapter 36 If You Keep This Up, It’s Over
Marion had Howard bring her wheelchair downstairs, and she descended step by step, holding onto the handrails.
Her legs were healing well, and the cast could soon be removed, but the doctor advised her to limit movement for a faster recovery.
On the ground floor, Marion settled back into the wheelchair, and Richard pushed her out of the villa. Jameson finally ceased his calls when he saw Marion.
He had been shouting downstairs for nearly ten minutes, and his throat felt dry and hoarse. “Marion... Jameson reached out to hug Marion. Since the wedding, he had not touched her.
In the past, during their two years together, he was not fond of overly sweet expressions of love. The frequency of kisses was minimal, and occasional embraces were merely due to prolonged separation.
Back then, he did not think much of it. Now, with their relationship on the rocks, Jameson realized how precious even a simple hug could be.
However, as he extended his arms, Richard forcefully intercepted him. Marion, still maneuvering her wheelchair, moved back at Richard’s gesture.
“Uncle Richard-”
Jameson glanced at Richard, recoiling at the anger in his eyes. Jameson’s face burned with embarrassment.
Richard addressed him sternly. “Speak and keep your hands to yourself.”
After the warning, Richard cast a harsh look at Jameson and then turned to enter the villa, heading towards the pond to feed the goldfish.
Jameson had not seriously looked at Marion for a long time. Under the dim night lamp, he observed Marion in the wheelchair, feeling the weight of her unspoken words. “Marion, how's your leg? Has it not healed yet?”
Marion had no intention of engaging in romantic discussions with him. “What are you here for?” Her head tilted slightly upward, and her round eyes looked at him with a clear and cold
gaze, her words dripping with indifference.
Jameson felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes grew misty. “Marioni, | know | was wrong. I’ve done many things wrong in the past. | promise | won't have any contact with Sally in the future! Can we.. can we start over?”
Hearing his words, Marion chuckled. “Jameson, you have no shame, don’t you? You want to be with me, but I’m not interested in infidelity.” She snorted. “Don’t forget, I’m married to Lucas.”

Jameson’s face turned pale, but he quickly recovered. “I know you're doing this to provoke me, right? | truly understand my mistakes this time. Marion, after years of being together, | don’t believe you can just let it go like this!”
He could not believe it! Twelve years of childhood sweethearts, and in just one month, Marion would let everything go?
“Whether you believe it or not, forging a marriage certificate is illegal. The fact is, | am married to Lucas,” Marion said. Pausing for a moment, she looked at Jameson, curled her lips coolly, and then declared emphatically, “And the truth is, | don’t want you anymore!”
The words felt like a heavy blow. Jameson was staggered. As he looked at Marion's cold smile, his expression darkened. “I don’t believe it! You can’t deceive me! We've known each other for so many years, and | know how much you like me! Besides, you're still living in the Cartiers‘ house. The act with Lucas seems realistic, but | won't believe it, Marion!”
“| know I’ve embarrassed you. If you want to embarrass me in return, fine! | admit it. But Marion, if you continue like this, it’s over. Listen to me, divorce Lucas, and we can have a new wedding. I'll give you a more grand and beautiful ceremony than before!”
“Please don’t be angry, Marion” Jameson crouched in front of her and reached out to touch her cheek. He was hoping for theThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
