Chapter 1586

Ellinor quirked a brow as a smirk played on her lips. “What are you so pleased about?”

Marcus met her gaze. “I’m pleased to accept your indifference.”

Ellinor squinted slightly. “I’m indifferent because I remember who you used to be, the experiences we had together, and the emotions we shared. Why are you so pleased to accept me? Don’t you remember me at all? Are you so easily taken in by a woman you’ve just met?”

Marcus didn’t shy away from her probing gaze; his eyes were steady and sly. “Can I say my reasons are similar to yours?”

Ellinor was puzzled. “Similar how?”

Marcus tilted his chin up slightly. “I find you irresistibly attractive. So much so, that I can’t refuse you.”
