Chapter 989
That was the first time Lulu had been so upset with or around him.
As Martin stayed silent, she sat up and stared at him. "What was the point? Why did you do that to me?! Who did
you think I was?! I'm your wife!"
At the time, she felt no tenderness from him at all—he was as rough as he was savage.
He was never like that, since he would always care about how she felt no matter how passionate they got before.
He never made her uncomfortable, and that was why she could let loose around him.
But this time, she just could not understand.
So many questions crossed her mind-did he stop cherishing her just because he had her now?
She was convinced that he was not like that.
But she could not come up with any other reason...

Suddenly remembering Zachary then, she wondered if he had said something that left Martin agitated.
No, that had to be it! Martin would not treat her like this otherwise!
And yet, Martin knew about her past...
It left her even confused and agitated because she could not come up with a reason!
As such, she asked curtly, "If there's something you're upset with me about, just tell me instead of hurting me."
Martin apologized. "I'm sorry."
"I don't need apologies!" Lulu snapped, glaring at him.
However, he was quiet since he was not the type who argued with women.
Pursing her lips to calm herself, she said, "I'm being serious. Just tell me if you're upset with me directly. I don't
need the silent treatment or a fight."
Martin lowered his gaze for a moment.
"It's not you... It's me," he said, looking up. "I was being petty, and shouldn't have drunk so much or let my thoughts
wander."
Lulu frowned. 'What are you talking about?"
"I..." Martin had trouble talking.
He did not like himself like this.
After all, he always knew about Lulu's past and accepted it without qualms, nor did he think anything about it.
Lulu asked him very clearly too if he did mind it.
He told her himself he did not, and he would-even now.
However, that issue kept bugging his mind after he got drunk, and what happened later was just history.
He did not know how to explain that to Lulu and could only say, "I won't ever do it again. Can you trust me?"
Lulu stared at him for a long while, but she just did not know.
She trusted him a lot before, but she became unsure after what happened!

Martin gave her some space right then.
Even so, they pretended to sleep since neither of them could.
Lulu was even breathing a little loudly, waiting for Martin to explain himself.
Eventually, she gave in and asked, "Did Zachary say something that hurt? Was that why you did it?"
Martin closed his eyes. "Just don't ask, Lulu. It's all my fault..."
Lulu turned around then, and looked him in the eye. "So you don't plan to get along?"
Martin frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"There’s an issue between us now. Do you think we'd get along if we don't resolve it?" Lulu asked sharply.
So this was a fight-must be an unavoidable tradition for spouses.
Martin appeared taken aback, but he eventually said, "Even as I looked at you while I was drunk, I just couldn't stop
thinking about you being with Zachary. I was jealous and angry, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling upset that
someone had you... I know I came later and have no right to blame you for your past. Even so, my heart just
hurts..."
