When Kathleen heard this, she instantly understood that Marianne was not crying because her cell phone had fallen.
So, she said to Charlie, "Oh, Mr. Wade, you still don’t understand women. We are not as tough as boys, so you cannot simply come up with solutions. You have to help us solve the problem directly. I saw someone setting up a stall at the entrance of the mall opposite which is selling some cell phone accessories. Why don’t you hurry up and buy a cell phone case for Miss Marianne according to the model of her cell phone, then?"
As soon as Charlie heard this, he then said without any hesitation, "Okay, you can accompany Miss Marianne first. I'll go and buy it."
Upon saying that, Charlie got up and ran out.
Once Charlie was far away, Kathleen held Marianne's hand and smiled as she asked," Did you just find out about Mr. Wade's marriage? It's okay. I already knew."
Marianne trembled and then looked up at Kathleen as she nodded lightly and said aggrievedly, “He never told me about it before..."
Kathleen asked, "What if he had told you earlier? If he had told you, do you think that you wouldn’t have fallen in love with him, then?"
Although Marianne was still sobbing, she said firmly, "I would have kept my distance from him from the very beginning if he had told me earlier. The thing that I hate the most in my life is third parties in a relationship. So, I would have kept my distance from him even if I truly loved him. I'd never have gotten close to him, then..."
Kathleen then smiled and said, "You’re thinking too much! You’re really innocent and cute, so how could you be a third party in anyone's relationship?"
Marianne asked inexplicably, "He's already married, so wouldn't I be a third party in his relationship if I was very close to him? This has nothing to do with being innocent and cute..."
Having said that, Kathleen then added," Why would I fly all the way here from the United States if I didn’t love him?" 'I have just taken over the Fox family, and I have to get acquainted with many things. I have to meet with different business leaders every day as well as read the financial statements and organize the development plans of different companies. How can I put down so many important things at hand and come to Hong Kong to accompany him to eat at a food street if I do not love him? Isn't it because I want to see him?"
"Huh?!" Marianne could not help but feel admiration for Kathleen. She had never seen such an honest, let alone open-minded girl before.
She could not help but ask "But didn't you already know that he was married?"
After hearing this, Kathleen said seriously,' Whether he is married or not is his business, and whether I love him or not is my business. Besides, if it’s true love, how can I stop my feelings regardless of whether he is married or not?"
