Chapter 773
Marcel had taken over Grandeur Capital, and his life had be a whirlwind. His time with Ze was
bing increasingly limited.
“No need.”
After returning from the Salter Manor, Marcel, who was already feeling uneasy, briefly felt a sense of
calm upon seeing Ze. He took her hand and inquired, “Have you eaten well tonight?”
Ze was a bit taken aback.
In all these years, Marcel had always been distant and rarely showed any concern for her. However,
recently, his attention and care towards her had been unwavering, and it was hard for her not to be
moved.
“I ate.” Ze squatted down slightly. “Madam is still upset. Don’t be angry. It will get better in a few
days.”
Marcel was growing fonder of Ze. Her presence made him feel at ease.
“In a few days, I’ll apany you to the Anderson family.”
They had children now, and it was time to consider their marriage.
Ze seemed to remember something embarrassing. She hesitated for a moment before nodding,
“Alright.”
After a disappointing visit to the Salter Manor, Leda took a break and knocked on Ze’s door. “Prepare
something for me to eat.”
Fresh out of the shower, Ze still had a lingering dampness on her skin. “Madam, the kitchen has
prepared food, and it’s still warm.”
“I don’t care. Weren’t you quite good at cooking before?” Leda was not fond of Ze, who had given
birth to what she considered a useless daughter.
Why couldn’t she be more like Brittany, who had given birth to a son in her first pregnancy?
Brittany’s son was handsome, no wonder she could charm Grace into forgiving her mistakes.
Ze knew Leda was doing it on purpose, “Understood.”
She changed into a fresh set of clothes and went downstairs into the kitchen.
Leda watched her go, rolling her eyes dismissively.
Ze was a good cook. In less than an hour, she had prepared ate-night snack ording to Leda’s
preferences.
She served it to Leda. “Madam, it’s ready.”
Leda walked over to the table, pulling out a chair to sit down. She nced at Ze, “How’s the
pregnancy nning going?”
Ze pursed her lips, “I haven’t decided yet.”
With a fierce movement, Leda dropped her chopsticks, “Ze, if you can get pregnant, do it quickly. The
Salter family’s estate can’t end with you. Marcel is good to you. You should learn to be grateful!”
Ze bit her lip. She really didn’t want to get pregnant..
“Marcel has been faithful to you all these years, and that’s already good enough. If you don’t get
pregnant soon, I’ll have to find someone else for him.”
Ze frowned, “Madam, do you intend to let Marcel have multiple wives?”
“You aren’t married, so what’s wrong with him seeing other people? It’s not against thew!”
Leda felt she did nothing wrong, “Besides, it’s your fault for not cherishing the opportunity. Why me
me?”
“Mother. Marcel’s voice cut through the room, icy and stern.
“Marcel.” Leda looked at him, unapologetic and self-righteous, “I’m doing this for your own good. You
need to have a child for the Salter family.”
Ze watched as Marcel made no move to defend her. She felt a pang of disappointment and retreated
upstairs.

“See? She’s bing more and more audacious, even showing such disrespect towards me.”
“Mother, I don’t want to hear such things in the future.”
Marcel rubbed his temples, “I n to marry her. I don’t care about having a child.”
He wasn’t sure what he felt for Ze, but he knew she had to stay by his side.
She wanted marriage, and he would give it to her.
Leda was stunned, still wanting to speak, but Marcel had already left.
Ze returned to her room and took another shower. When she came out, Marcel was waiting for her.
“Don’t take what my mother said to heart.”
He had been indifferent towards romantic rtionships since he was young.
Ze was an exception. At least, he was willing to keep her by his side.
Ze looked at Marcel’s near-perfect profile and felt a moment of doubt.
“I understand.” She knew Marcel didn’t love her, and that their rtionship was based on her initiative.
She dreaded thinking about what Marcel would do
if she stopped taking the initiative.
It probably wouldn’t affect him much.
