Chapter 221 Discovering New Things
<Chapter> Chapter 221 Discovering New Things</Chapter>
Mark revisited past fond memories to evoke Arya's feelings towards Mark, and it was quite effective.
Arya recalled the time she was in love with Mark and softened her heart.
After all, Mark was the only man in Arya's life and Maggie's father.
Arya waited for Mark for over twenty years and never truly let go of him.
As they talked about the past, Arya fell silent, and Mark continued, using Arya's previous feelings for him to reignite her emotions.
"Arya, I still remember our first date when we went to climb The Enchanted Mountain. You sprained your ankle, and I carried you up. We stayed at The Enchanted Mountain for two days; we watched the sea of clouds and the sunrise together. Then I proposed to you. You happily agreed to marry me."
As Mark spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. He wiped them away and sighed, "Time flies by so fast. We've both aged, Arya. Back then, I really wanted to marry you. If it weren't for my family pressuring me with their lives, I wouldn't have married Ashley."
Mark, from over twenty years ago, had no say in his own marriage.
At that time, Mark truly loved Arya and wanted to spend his life with her. However, his family disagreed, even cutting off his credit cards, leaving him without a source of income. Mark, accustomed to a life of luxury, couldn't adapt to poverty.
Arya remembered being driven out by the Jackson family back then, the most humiliating moment of her life.
Feeling uneasy, Arya questioned, "Back then, when your family forced me to have an abortion, where were you, Mark? It's been over twenty years now. If you truly cared, you wouldn't have waited until now to find me."
"I thought you had married someone else, Arya. I didn't know you had been waiting for me all this time. To go against my family, I firmly refused to marry Ashley. I was locked up for three whole months. Later, my mom said you had gotten married, and I believed it. Disheartened, I ended up marrying Ashley."
"What about that breakup letter?" Arya felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing Mark's words.
"I never wrote any breakup letter." Mark took the opportunity to hold Arya's hand, his emotions sincere. "That was my mother forging my handwriting. Arya, I have never forgotten you from beginning to end. It's all fate playing tricks on us."
Recalling the past, tears streamed down Arya's face. No woman of any age could resist a man's sweet words.
This time, Mark came prepared.
Mark took out a share transfer agreement from his bag and handed it to Arya, saying, "Arya, these are shares of my company. Maggie is my daughter, so naturally, she has a share too. I've divided the shares into three parts. Maggie, being the eldest, gets the most. I've prepared a house for Maggie in London. Once you've recovered, I'll take you and Maggie to live in London together."
This time, Mark was truly sincere.
Seeing the share transfer and property deed and witnessing Mark's care for his daughter, how could Arya not be moved?
Throughout, Mark never mentioned asking Maggie for a bone marrow donation, instead using Arya's feelings to achieve that goal.
Trembling, Arya touched the share transfer and property deed, trying to remain rational. "Mark, are you trying to exchange these for Maggie's bone marrow?"
"Arya, you've misunderstood. I never intended that." Mark explained, "Previously, I had to ask Maggie to save Melissa out of desperation. Now that Melissa's condition is under control, I've arranged for other suitable donors. These are all my heartfelt intentions. Please accept them."
Upon hearing this, Arya still felt uneasy, unsure whether to trust Mark.
Knowing that Arya hadn't completely forgiven him, Mark changed the subject with a smile. "Arya, I saw Maggie's husband the other day. By the way, what does Maggie's husband do, and what's his name?"
