Chapter 1620
As soon as he heard her name, Levi's anger spiked. "Julien, you have gone against me ever since you were a child. You said that on purpose to irk me, didn't you?"
Julien chortled and replied, "Well, I will not mention her name in front of you in the future. Will that be all right for you?"
Levi retorted, "You better keep your words."
That scoundrel! Julien knew perfectly well that Monique was driving Levi nuts.
Julien then added, "Alright, just wait for a moment. Those pretty ladies are coming to accompany you very soon!"
Not long after, a striking woman appeared in Levi's ward.
She was extremely gorgeous. At first glance, she took his breath away.
Once he set eyes on her, he chided himself for thinking that his girlfriends were pretty previously.
They were nothing compared to the gorgeous lady standing in front of him at present. Her beauty was out of this world.
Levi's heart skipped a beat upon seeing her, and he flushed. His eyes were bright and excited.
It was the first time he felt nervous in front of a woman. "Hello, please have a seat! What's your name?"
Marilyn smiled and replied, "Hi, I'm Marilyn! I've bought you some flowers. Do you like them?"
Levi nodded. "I like them very much. Thanks! You can place them on the cabinet."
Marilyn put down the flowers and sat on the chair beside his bed. "Young Master Brown, nice to meet you!"
Levi reached out to shake her hand, but he felt that his hand was filthy compared to her pristine hand, and wiped it quickly on the quilt. "Nice to meet you too, Marilyn. We haven't met, have we?" Marilyn smiled and replied, "Young Master Brown, don't pull my leg. We have seen each other more than once. How could this be the first time?"
"We have seen each other before? That's impossible!" Without hesitation, Levi denied it. "Your beauty is remarkable. If I've seen you before, I would have remembered you." Marilyn pouted her lips petulantly, which made her look more adorable. "It seems that I am not good-looking enough. Otherwise, you would have remembered me."
"It's impossible. I'm sure I haven't met you before. Otherwise, there's no way I don't recognize you at all."
"Well, we haven't seen each other before. It was a test just now." Marilyn ran a finger through her hair. This was an extremely ordinary action, but Levi couldn't help but look at her in awe. In his mind, he thought of how Monique's hair was short. It was even shorter than his. If Monique had long silky hair, coupled with her adorable little face, she would look quite pretty... Inadvertently, the image of Monique appeared in his mind. She was stubborn, but she was still very cute...
No!
Levi shook his head in dismay, wanting to dismiss the thought but to no avail. He failed again. "It's over! I'm really done for. Such a gorgeous lady is sitting in front of me and I still think of that tomboy." After hearing what he said, Marilyn said softly, "Love is unconditional. You might not fall in love with someone beautiful, yet, you might be head over heels for someone who isn't as attractive. Many factors are contributing to this such as the person's personality. Besides, you might feel uncomfortable when you are in front of someone beautiful. What's the point of that?"
Levi couldn't rebuke her words, so Marilyn continued, "When you are with the person you like, you will feel very comfortable and be at ease. Even if she isn't attractive, does that even matter? You enjoy being with her."
Levi scratched his hair irritably. "I don't like her."
Marilyn smiled and said, "Well, we all know that you don't like her. However, her face started to creep into your mind and you are no longer interested in other women."
Levi scowled. "When did that scoundrel become so talkative? Did Julien reveal everything to you? Who on earth are you?"
Marilyn chuckled and replied, "Mr. Kyle did not tell me anything. I deduced it from your reactions."
Levi was indignant. "Was it really so obvious?"
Marilyn nodded. "It's too obvious."
After a long silence, Levi admitted, "But I don't want to like her."
Marilyn responded, "Well, I can understand. You have always thought that you like someone beautiful and you had no plans of getting married in the future. However, you fell for a girl out of the blue. It is somewhat difficult to accept. However, it is only one of the factors. There is a more important reason."
Levi asked, "What's the reason?" He still did not believe that this woman could see right through him, although they had just met.
She continued, "The most important reason is probably your parents. You've witnessed your mother controlling your dad ever since you were a kid. No matter what your mother did, your dad would just go along with it. You are afraid that the same thing would happen to you if you married Monique. You dare not admit your feelings towards her."
Levi stared up at her in amazement. She had analyzed the situation correctly. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought. "Can you read minds?" he asked tentatively.
Marilyn smiled, "It's not mind reading. I've been very interested in psychology ever since I was a child. Hence, it is my current profession."
Levi was sure that he had never met her, but she knew everything about him. This made his hair stand on end. "Just spill the beans. Tell me who you actually are!"
She laughed and replied, "Who am I? Does it matter?"
Levi said firmly, "Of course, it's important."
"Well, I'm Marilyn Ken..."
"You're a Ken?" Levi thought for a moment. He didn't expect the Kens to have such a beautiful daughter. "Really? Are you lying?"
"I'm lying? What for? What could I get from you?" Marilyn got up, a smile flitted across her features. "Young Master Brown, just admit that you like her. Don't let your parents affect you. Your father seems to be bullied by your mother, but who knows? Those may be the happiest moments of his life. He loves your mother. Hence, he is willing to tolerate her temper and spoil her."
