Ernie saw Marley as well. He did not speak and instead, he walked towards the morgue.
Marley walked up the stairs step by step, his footsteps were heavy until he came before her. He lowered his head and looked at her, looking into her eyes very seriously and he asked word by word, “Don’t you have anything to explain?”
“Marley, it’s not what you think!” Sylvie explained anxiously.
“What am I thinking?” Marley asked in return.
“I have nothing to explain, Marley!” Sylvie lowered her eyes, attempting to hide the glimmer in her eyes.
Marley’s eyes were no longer saddened. His pupils darkened, his usual gentleness and softness have disappeared, leaving only a huge storm that was brewing quickly.
Suddenly, he pushed her against the wall. The force was so huge that it made her back aching. She frowned, knowing that his sudden anger was due to the hug between her and Ernie just now. She had nothing to explain about.
Marley’s hands clenched onto her shoulders tightly as his eyes darkened, and his entire body leaned forwards.
Sylvie was in shock, feeling a little flustered as she stuttered, not knowing what to say.
Marley did not wait for her to finish as his lips blocked her mouth with a penetrating heat anxiously, as if he had wanted to melt her down.
She stunned and lost all response, as her mind began to befuddle.
After a moment of frenzied kissing to release his anger inside, he began to become gentle. He left her lips slightly, teasing the corner of her lip with the tip of his tongue. She felt as if she had been struck by electricity, her body shuddering slightly. She looked at his face, looking at the dilemma in his eyes. Her heart was in a frenzy as well, but at the same time, it was filled with a pang of unmentionable guilt. It was originally a pure hug and nothing else, but it was yet ambiguous, she had to consider Marley’s feelings! But simultaneously she also felt that she had done no wrong.
Marley finally let go of her lips and pulled her into his arms, his grip so tight that she could not breathe. He said by her ear, “This is the last time, I don’t want there to be a next time.”
She stunned and nodded.
Marley let go of her body and held onto her hand, as if he did not want to continue that topic, “Where’s mum?”

She shook her head and
Since this is in the past, I think if we both minded about it out marriage wouldn’t have made it to the end, just like how I minded between you and Ernie. Sylvie, you’re not wholehearted towards me.
