It Was You

Chapter 2 Thoughtless Before

"Okay, I promise that I'll marry Martin to be the substitute for my sister.'' She looked at Roger with glossy eyes, experiencing a hard time to have a normal breathing.

"Really?" A bright smile made its way on his lips. He didn't expect that this stupid woman would agree. He thought she would be stubborn to refuse him. The stupid woman said she loved him, so he came to persuade her to give up. Never had he expected that it would be so easy.

On the massive bed, cold sweat covered her body. The thin layer of cloth wrapped around her, outlining a perfect line. Her skin was so fragile that even a single blow could break it.

He sighed while narrowing his eyes to have a better look at her. To be honest, if it weren't for her integrity, any man would have been attracted by her beautiful face. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

But...

"I know you like my sister, but I just can't give up. Since I can't win your heart, then let me do this for you. Roger, have you ever been in love with me..." Looking upon him, she filled her eyes with affection. "For a minute?"

Upon hearing this, it astonished Roger with a warmhearted look in his eyes.

The woman in front of him was the one who he had sworn to marry as his wife. When he was abandoned by his family, she never gave up on him. It was her who had always been guarding him. She was there on his lowest point of life.

After a long while, Roger bent over, stroked her long hair with his slender fingers and smiled. "Cassandra, I liked you. I'm sorry if I have let you down."

While she pinned her eyes at him, every scene of her earlier life flashed in her mind like a phantom, but it vanished quickly.

If she hadn't experienced the life and death, she would never see through the ruthlessness behind this man's deep love.

"That's enough. Darling, please let my parents come in to see me. I won't make trouble anymore. I'm willing to marry Martin." She chuckled.

Because of that, he froze. He stared at her in disbelief. "Cassandra, do you really want to do it?"

"I'm willing to do anything for you, no matter how hard it is." She smiled.

It stunned him again. "You have suffered a lot. Although it was said that Martin looked ugly and didn't get too much favor from his family, he is still a member of the Lu family. Even if he doesn't have the qualities to inherit the family's fortune, he can help you live a comfortable life."

Upon hearing this, she gave a bitter laugh. It was because of this rumor that Susan refused to marry Martin. But no one knew that he was good-looking and would become the head of the Lu family.

Susan, her elder sister, tried her best to seduce Martin after she met him at their wedding. She even wanted to sleep with him.

"It depends. Go and tell my parents to come in," Cassandra shook her head and said.

Roger said no more and called Cassandra's parents.

As soon as they heard that she had agreed to marry Martin for her sister, Evan and Lynn cheered up and rushed to her room.

A sense of guilt swept over Evan's heart when he saw that she was handcuffed on the bedpost. He coughed and demanded, "Take off the handcuffs!"

The butler behind him took them off from her wrist immediately.

After rubbing her skin, she got out of bed and bent her knees in front of them.

Both of them were taken aback by her action. As a softhearted woman, sympathy rushed in Lynn's heart. Tears immediately streamed down her cheeks as she grabbed her hand. "Cassandra, what are you doing? It's our fault. I'm so sorry."

She just knelt there without any emotions in her eyes.

Thanks for bringing her to this world and raising her.

Thanks for the love and care.

Thanks for this new life.

"Father, mother, I'd like to say goodbye to you tonight. From now on, I'm going to be a member of the other family. I can't stay with you anymore. I just hope that you'll be safe and happy," Cassandra said calmly, looking up at them.

Holding the wrist of Cassandra in a tight manner, Lynn looked at her with sympathy written in her eyes. She was clear that she couldn't change the overall situation.

Evan Yan heaved a long sigh. "Cassandra, you know that we have been engaged to the Lu Family. We are not strong enough to offend them. Also, Roger loves your sister. I'm sorry. But the Yan family will be your support, understand?"

"I understand. It was my fault that I didn't behave well and brought trouble to our family. I'm the person who should be blamed for everything." Cassandra nodded.

A look of astonishment crossed Evan Yan's face. At first, he thought that she would not agree to marry Martin.

'What did Roger say to make her agree?' he thought.

But at this time, there was no time for Evan to think about it. He was surprised about the great change of her attitude.

For Yan Clan, the Lu Clan was as powerful as a giant. Even if their daughter married the son who wasn't favored, as long as he had any connection with the family, they would gain benefit.

With a big smile on his face, Evan held Cassandra up from the ground. "Cassandra, it's great that you can think in this way even though I have blamed you in the past."

It was my fault back then." Cassandra beamed.

Evan kept complimenting her and then left with a satisfied smile.
