The Goddess Sculpture Is Actually My Husband’s Secret Mistress! - Chapter 135: Chapter 135

She started breathing heavily, her ribs heaving up and down. Her eyes began filling up with tears as she continued to stare at him. Marcus looked down in guilt, still holding my arm for support.
"Marky?" Her voice, almost a whisper.
"Meghan i-i'm-" Marcus stuttered trying to form a sentence.
"It's really you?"
Marcus nodded his head.
"I can't believe this" She covered her mouth with her hand and almost fell to the back. Instantly Jake wrapped an arm around her, holding her steadily.
"Y-you have umm... grown up. I couldn't recognise you. Sorry" Marcus struggled to speak, still looking down.
"I couldn't either. I never thought you would be the Marcus Anderson. My Mother would be so proud of who you are now. So am I"
At the mention of her mother Marcus's grip on my arm tightened. I kept my hand over his, reassuring him.
"Don't you hate me?" He asked, his voice quivering.
"Why would I hate you?"
"You mother died because of me. I ripped your family apart-"
"My mother's only wish was for you to lead a good life without any suffering. And it became true. She will be happier than ever. I don't hate you Marcus. I'm happy for you" Blair smiled, a tear falling down her eyes. "And umm... Rebecca-is she-" she stuttered anxiously.
"You want to meet her?" Marcus asked with a sad smile.
"She's still with you?"
He nodded. "Yes she's working in my company now"
"Does she know?"
"I told her a few months ago. She would be very happy to met you"
Blair looked at Jake and he nodded his head, encouraging her. "Let's meet her"
We were at a cafe by the lake waiting for Rebecca to arrive.
While we were waiting Marcus told me that after he came to his father his mother's parents took Rebecca in. Even though she was not their real granddaughter they felt guilty for what their daughter did. Since they already had a strained relationship with Kaitlyn they were happy to take care of Rebecca as family.
The door opened and Rebecca walked in. Blair, who was sitting before me, tensed anxiously. Jake wrapped an arm around her, whispering soothing words to her.
Rebecca smiled at me and walked over to our table but came to a halt seeing Blair. Their gaze lingered on each other for a moment.
"Rebecca" Blair called out, her voice shaky.
"Hi" Rebecca waved her hand. After an awkward staring contest Blair patted the seat next to her and Rebecca sat down.
"Hi" Again they stared at each other without a word "Okay this is getting awkward" Blair said and both of them began chuckling.
"Are you in for a hug?" Rebecca opened her arms and Blair nodded her head, embracing her sister in a warm hug.
I glanced at Marcus and saw him looking at them with a smile on his lips.
"You're beautiful. Just like mother" Blair touched her cheek and Rebecca looked down shyly.
"She looks like me?"
Blair nodded. "Dark hair, green eyes. You both are beautiful"
"What about you?"
"I'm much more like our father's mother" She pointed at her hair. "Strawberry hair" Rebecca giggled to that.
I leaned back on my seat and whispered to Marcus. "Do you like strawberry ice cream because of Blair's hair colour?"
Marcus choked on his coffee and looked at me as if I was crazy. "Are you dumb? This is a colour. That's a taste"
I scowled. "Fine fine I'm dumb" I huffed and looked away in annoyance.
Marcus stared at me and bit his lip trying to stop his laughter.
"Laugh and you are dead"
"Okay babe"
"Yuck. Don't call me that"
"Babe" He teased me again and kissed me on the cheek.
But he pulled away as Lucas started biting his watch. Marcus leaned down and looked at Lucas. "Baby eats everything" He lightly tapped Lucas's nose and Lucas's lips twitched into a small smile.
Lucas had been happy since I told him I would take him to the zoo today. These were rare moments where he smiles and I would do anything to keep it on his lips.
"Okay you go home. I have something to do" Marcus kept his coffee on the table and started getting up.
"I'm sorry what?" I asked in shock.
"I'll hail a taxi for you"
"Aren't you going to take Lucas to the zoo?" I whisper yelled at him.
Marcus grabbed my arm and pulled me up. He touched Lucas's cheek. "Baby I can't take you to the zoo today"
Lucas's lips formed into a pout and he looked at me with sad eyes.
"Marcus don't make me repeat myself. If you don't take him you are dead" I said through gritted teeth. "You know he likes when both of us go. What's so important than making Lucas happy?"
"I have something very important to buy"
I scoffed at that. "You bloody idiot-" But ignoring me he dragged me out and waved his hand to a taxi.
"Marcus you are sleeping on the couch today. No not just today. Forever. You will finally feel the wrath of me"
As the taxi arrived Marcus opened the door and pushed me in "You go now. Bye Babe and Baby"
