" Are you sure Anna loves you? " ask Marrissa at the handsome figure sitting in front of her. The man smiled.
" Sure. He even named our baby 'Joanna' a combination of Jason and Anna. After all, we've been living together for months, of course that kind of thing is very possible. He slowly loved me "he answered with confidence. A smile spread on his lips.
" Do you love her too ? " Marrissa questioned him while looking into Jason's clingy eyes, hoping for no lies. Jason looked awkward. He looked the other way.
How could you ask me that, Marrissa ? I just love you. Since long.
" If you don't love him. Then, why do you insist on maintaining your marriage with her? " asked Marrissa, her beautiful eyes still staring intently at Jason.
" Don't tell me you're just pitying him or want to play him. If that's the case, I don't hesitate to avenge you "threatened Marrissa. He meant what he said. He will not be able to accept if his only sister is hurt once again.
" Joanna made me change my mind. Anyway, he's my son. I can't let him get away from me. I don't want him to suffer the same fate as me. She's mydaughter. He should be content. And for sure he must be surrounded by people who love him, raised with the abundance of affection from both parents. Something I didn't get from my parents "Jason answered by looking at Marrissa as if to convince the woman that her words were really from the bottom of his heart.
Marrissa nodded. Jason's words have a point, too.
" As for Anna, I will learn to love her" Jason said slowly.
" What if in the end, you can't love her ? " take Marrissa.
Jason breathed deeply.
" I will then release him for the one he loves, and also love him wholeheartedly. But before that, please give me a chance to learn to love her "
Jason seemed to be begging sincerely. Maybe better, I gave it a chance. After all, that way, Anna's and her baby's life will be assured.
Marrissa folded both her hands. Jason's answer made him think to believe it. But on the other hand, he also had to think about the fate of his sister. What if Jason can't love her ? Does Anna have to spend her entire life waiting for her love for Jason to be avenged? No. gabe. That can't happen. Anna is his only sister. He would not watch it fall. Anna's happiness is very important.
" How long will it take you to love Anna? "
" Gosh, Marrissa. It's about feelings. How can I determine when I will fall in love with her? " Jason looked frustrated.
" I know. Like you said, it's about feelings. But it's not just about how you feel, it's also about how Anna, my sister, feels. I can't let him wait his whole life for that. She also deserves to be happy with the man who loves her "Marrissa's voice sounds so emotional.
The two of them were silent for a while, until finally,
" Give me five or six years. If in that time, I still can't love her, I'll divorce her "
Marrissa took a deep breath and exhaled it quietly.
" All right "
" If you agree, then our agreement continues, right ? That means you can't marry any man until our agreement is finalized "
" I think you still remember the points in our agreement, Marrissa" Jason said.
*****
Marrissa fell silent in front of her laptop. He recalled his conversation with Jason a moment ago. Jason reminded him of the other contents of the agreement they had made. To be honest, Marrissa had already paid no attention to the inheritance house, but there was one side in her heart that felt that she wanted to end the agreement. For the sake of someone who disturbs his heart.
Morgan's. Marrissa called out that name in her heart. Very nice guy. Love him and his family. At first, he did not care about the presence of the man. But Morgan's attention and affection made her feel another thump in the chest. Something he once felt for Jonathan. And I don't know since when, he started thinking about the man. Cooking food for her, waiting for her to come home. Everything was an activity he was looking forward to. He wanted to immediately express his feelings for Morgan, because he knew for sure that the man held the same feelings for her.
But with the agreement, he certainly had to resist his will.
I've been happy with Anna's suffering and my mother's. So what's wrong with it now, I have to resist my will for Anna's happiness?
" What are you thinking ? " Morgan patted her shoulders gently, but still made the beautiful woman startled.
" Eh, no, I'm just getting carried away with my writing" replied Marrissa.
" Oyes ? What did you write ? " Morgan pulled the chair next to him and sat him down.
" I'm thinking of making a love novel. But it looks so hard. I haven't been able to describe the main character well "Marrissa stared at her laptop.
" How's your leg? "
" extraordinary. I am truly grateful for this miracle. I can't wait to run" Marrissa said excitedly.
" Hey, wait a minute. Be patient. You have to really recover first. Besides, I haven't bought running shoes. I won't let you run alone. So you have to wait for me to buy it first " Morgan pretended to sulk. Marrissa gave a smile. Even Morgan's small attention like this alone had already made his heart flower.
" How is mom ? "
" It's still as usual. I hope a miracle comes to him too "
" Patience to "
Marrissa nodded. He started to turn on his laptop.
" We don't go to the hospital? " ask Morgan in wonder. Usually after he gets home from work, Marrissa will wait for him to get ready to visit Anna. But right now Marrissa is turning on her laptop.
" Jason will take her home tonight "
" Jason? You certain? "
" Sure. Her husband. It is his duty to take care of his son and his wife "
" but... Are you really sure he'll take good care of her? Jason's ? She didn't even want to come when Anna gave birth "
" Come, Morr. I think we should give him a chance "
" Objection ? Marrissa, what's going on? Is not their marriage coming to an end ? "
" Jason doesn't want to end his marriage "
" What?!? What makes ba******that changed your mind "
" Joanna "
" Joanna? "
" That little baby can change his father's mind in an instant. He did not want to be away from his daughter. She wants her daughter to grow up in a loving and fulfilling environment. What's more, Jason learns that Anna secretly loves him "
" what?? Anna loves Jason? " Morgan looked very surprised. Marrissa nodded.
" So he named their baby Joanna. Combined the names Jason and Anna "
Morgan scratched his head that was not itching. But suddenly he woke up
" Wait, where did you find out about this? Don't tell me that bed*** it came to see you" Morgan said in a panic. He did not like Jason. Bed****it always underestimates it. Moreover, the way he looked at Marrissa who incidentally was his stepmother. Morgan always felt that Jason liked Marrissa.
" Last noon he came here" said Marrissa calmly.
" What are you talking about ? " examine Morgan.
" Not much. He just said that he didn't want to end his marriage and that he would learn to love Anna " answered Marrissa. Couldn't he have told Morgan about their deal?
" That's all ? "
Marrissa nodded.
" I think that's for the best. I'm glad my sister finally got happy "
Even if it means our relationship will hang.
