章 424: The Offer In The Bathroom

Marcel looked as if he was caught between the devil and the dark blue sea. He didn't want Arianna to cry anymore and attempted to comfort her, however, he couldn't hug her with his bloodied body - which was the reason for her crying in the first place. Hence, he only cupped her cheeks and brushed away every single tear that trailed down her eyes.

He had never loved tears, they frightened him seeing that was all he was reminded of each time he thought about his mother. As a kid, Marcel lost count of the number of times he saw his mother crying in secret and that traumatized him knowing there was nothing he could do to change that.

In one word, tears frightened him and now that Arianna wouldn't stop crying, he was left anxious and in confusion. He had promised never to make his woman cry like his father did and yet he failed miserably. Arianna was crying and it was all his fault.
