"..." Marcus Parker didn't know what to say anymore. Meeting Ellie Wilton, he knew that his heart, for the rest of his life, would be devoted to her, and no one else.
"Anna, I have wronged you." So many words, all boiled down to this single sentence in the end.
Ellie Wilton shook her head.
Just then, a servant came up to report that the young masters and ladies had arrived, saying they had come to visit the lady of the house.
"Tell them to go back." Marcus Parker didn't even think before he sent the servant to relay the message.
"Don't." Ellie Wilton stopped him, remembering that it had been arranged for both families to have dinner together that evening, "Let them in. For dinner, let's still go out. We should get together, and right now the most important thing is Ryan's wedding."
She had almost selfishly ruined Ryan's wedding. If she really took revenge on Hannah Browman, if she hurt her and Marcus's child, she thought that surely Ryan and Celia Wade would be hurt as well.
