out to him. 

Chapter 330 

Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me here, be good!” Peter gave Jessica a reassuring look before quickly leaving the 

room. 

Jessica wanted to say something, but before she could, Peter had already left. 

The ward fell silent. 

Instinctively. Jessica tried to get up and follow him. 

However, her body was still weak, and she couldn’t manage to stand. 

Moreover, Marina had specifically called only Peter to come out with her. 

If Jessica were to follow, it might make Marina even angrier. 

Feeling anxious, Jessica remained seated on the edge of the bed, her mind filled with worry. 

Outside the ward, Marina had a cold expression as she stared at Peter in front of her. 

“You’ve really outdone yourself. I entrusted my friend to you, hoping that you would take good care of her. But instead, you ended up sleeping with her?” Marina was genuinely angry this time. 

She had a cold and angry expression. 

Peter nervously touched his nose. 

“Well… you never told me before that we couldn’t be in a relationship…” 

Although Peter said that, his voice was much lower. 

“Do I need to warn you about this kind of thing? I may turn a blind eye to what you do outside, but you should know that Jessica is my friend. How could you set your sights on her?” 

Marina clenched her hands into tight fists by her side. 

If they weren’t in the hospital right now, Marina would have really wanted to beat Peter. 

“Jessica is an adult, so she knows things about relationships… and I’m not forcing her. You don’t have to be so angry.” Peter cautiously looked at Marina. 

“I didn’t forbid her from dating. What angers me is that she chose you as her boyfriend! If it were anyone else, I would have blessed her!” Marina enunciated each word. 

“What can you say things like that? I’m your cousin. Are you more willing to believe others than me?” Peter felt insulted. 

“Do you think I should believe you? Have you ever considered your lifestyle? How many of your past girlfriends have lasted more than six months by your side?” Marina spoke firmly. 

Peter opened his mouth, wanting to argue. 

However, Marina knew very well about his past. 

Even if she didn’t know, she could find it out with her abilities easily. 

Peter suddenly felt that having such a formidable cousin wasn’t necessarily a good thing. 

It felt like he could not hide anything in front of Marina like he was naked. 

That’s all in the past. I am serious about Jessica.” Peter took a deep breath, knowing that he had to show sincerity if he wanted to get through this with Marina. 

“Serious? You were also serious about your previous girlfriends,” Marina snorted. 

“It’s different this time, Peter instinctively denied. 

‘Different? How is it different?” Marina fixed her gaze on him. 

Peter had just blurted that out without thinking. 

But now, he didn’t know where to start if he had to explain. 

Indeed, what made it different? 

His reputation in the industry was actually quite good. 

Sure, he was known as a playboy, but he never cheated on his girlfriends, and he was generous with them. 

He just wasn’t the type to commit for too long. 

His relationships never lasted more than six months. 

Peter always claims to be serious about relationships. 

However, everyone’s reaction was the same as Marina’s. 

His actions and behavior appear to be unconvincing. 

As Peter remained silent, Marina’s voice grew heavy. 

“I don’t care about your messy relationships in the past, but Jessica is different from your previous girlfriends,” Marina said. 

“She’s not the kind of girl who can be played around. She values deep emotions and loyalty. When she commits, she means it for a lifetime. 

“From this incident, she knew the kidnapper took her to manipulate me. 

“Even if someone threatened or harmed her, she would never make a sound. 

“She would even risk everything to escape, not because she’s exceptionally capable, but because she doesn’t want to burden me, Marina continued. 

“To be honest, I haven’t done much for her in the past. I simply spoke up for her when she was being mistreated. 

“And then she opened up her heart to me. So, have you ever thought about marrying her?” 

As Marina posed this question, Peter immediately looked up at her. 

His expression mixed with panic and nervousness. 

Marina instantly laughed out loud. 

“You’ve never thought of marrying her, right?” Marina’s eyes were filled with coldness. 

“I… Peter did not know how to explain. 

“I remember you telling me before that you would never give up an entire forest for the sake of one tree,” Marina said. sternly. 

“Jessica is completely different from your previous girlfriends. She’s not sexy, and she doesn’t possess that level of 

sophistication. 

In fact, she’s a bit old–fashioned. Right now, you may feel that she stands out among the girls you’ve known, which gives you a sense of novelty. 

“But how long can this novelty of yours last? 

“One month? Six months? What are your plans for your relationship with her once this novelty wears off?” 

Marina bombarded Peter with one question after another, but he couldn’t provide a single answer. 

He could only stare blankly at Marina. 

Unable to contain her frustration anymore, Marina angrily thrust her elbow into his abdomen. 

Peter’s face immediately contorted with pain. 

He clutched his abdomen with both hands, hunching over slightly. 

This punch is for Jessica. If you have no intention of marrying her, then you better make it clear to her immediately.” Marina said sternly. 

“Don’t let her get trapped in false hope, or I won’t spare you!” 

After saying that, Marina turned around and walked away. 

Peter was left standing alone in the place. After a while, he slowly straightened his posture. 

The truth was, he had never considered a future with Jessica. 

He had always been a hedonist. 

He believed that as long as he enjoyed his current life, it was enough for him. 

For example, at the moment, he and Jessica got along harmoniously. 

Whether it was in their daily lives or intimately, they were highly compatible. 

This was a feeling that none of his previous girlfriends could give him. 

Therefore, he was willing to maintain this kind of relationship indefinitely. 

However, Marina’s words served as a reminder to him. 

Jessica was different from his previous girlfriends. 

With those women, once he lost interest, he could easily break up with them without any burden or guilt. 

But what if this person was Jessica? 

What was he going to do?
