"Erina? What about her?" Marina didn't know what happened while she was unconscious.
Brent sent Erina back to the Carlton residence. She was still in low spirits.
As soon as they arrived home, she locked herself up in her room.
"I'm sure Liv has told you about Connor's true identity, that she is his mother. In the past, I made a
foolish yet grave mistake.
"Kurt entrusted you to me, so I listened to you every time and was lenient to you. And I hurt her in the
end. I don't want to upset her anymore."
Marina's countenance turned cold. "What do you mean?"
"You gave Erina her name. At that time, I thought I would marry you to give her a perfect childhood.
"Now, we have nothing to do with each other. I've explained everything that happened in the past as
well. You can give her a new surname, Carlton or Fordham."
Her heart throbbed at his words.
In a trembling voice, she asked, "What about me? Do you not love me? Not even once?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"We have known each other since we were young. It's been over 20 years. But have I said that I love
you?" Ethan questioned back.
No.
Even if she did everything in her power to make him stay for the night that year, he simply sat on the
couch the whole night.
Marina coaxed him into marrying her by using Kurt's last words.
He could give her anything she wished, but he never touched her.
He didn't say a word of love to her before either.
"But I love you deeply, Ethan Miller! Why can't you give me a chance and love me?"
"Marina Carlton, I've tolerated your antics more than enough. Changing Erina's name or surname is
your decision.
"I'll ask Brent to come over to help you with the procedures tomorrow."
He rose from his seat.
Marina reached out to pull the hem of his shirt, but he turned sideways, avoiding her hand.
"Take care."
"It's just a name. Does it matter that much? Must I change it?"
"Erina is at the age to understand how the world works. If we don't clear things up, her
misunderstanding will deepen.
"Plus, my family will be bothered by this, too."
"So, you came to cut ties with me? Completely?" Oh, how desperate she was to hear a negative
answer from him.
However, his cold voice said otherwise.
"Yes. From today onward, your life or death has nothing to do with me anymore. Take care."
He did not even glance at her.
Marina intended to chase him, but Fabian, who appeared from the corner, grabbed her wrist.
"Where are you going? How could you do this to me? Is Ethan the only man you see?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Let go of me! Fabian, I can walk now. You can no longer control me. Even if there were no Ethan,
you'd never be the one for me!"
She flung his hand away and headed outside.
Even if she could catch up with Ethan, she didn't want to face that repulsive man ever again.
Strange enough, Fabian merely watched her instead of following her.
Her legs had yet to get used to the machinery connection.
Marina should be resting in bed in the meantime, but everything in her was screaming to leave Fabian,
even if that meant pulling the wounds.
Yet, the moment she reached the gates, her legs couldn't move as if cast by magic. She couldn't take
another step forward!
Sweat covered her forehead. "W-What's happening?"
Before she knew it, he was standing behind her with his arms crossed triumphantly.
"Marina, don't you think that machines listen to orders better than humans?"
