NovelBookChapter 1063:
Yet, as she indulged in her secret amusement, a sharp pinch at her waist snapped her back to the present,
eliciting a sharp gasp of pain that sliced through the warm stillness...
Connor's displeasure was unmistakable as he observed Marissa’s amused demeanor. Irritated, he gave her a
quick pinch to bring her back to reality.
“Why did you pinch me?” Marissa demanded, her voice tinged with anger.
“To bring you back to the moment,” Connor replied sharply, his eyes tinted red with frustration. “Were you even
listening to me? Please don’t ignore what I'm saying.”
Marissa’s expression softened under his serious and pained gaze. In a hushed tone, she admitted, “I never
intended to marry Everett.”
Her words brought a brief smile to Connor's face. Yet before he could respond, Marissa added, “But the Brock
family saved my father. He promised them my hand in marriage in return. My father’s honor is important to him;
| must uphold it.”
Connor's fleeting smile vanished. He responded, his tone laced with discontent, “Even if the Brock family helped
your father immensely, there are many other ways he could repay that debt without compromising your
marriage.”
“But the Brock family has made their terms clear—they only want this marriage. My father has given his word,
and it’s difficult for him to retract it now,” Marissa explained.

his sleeve to persuade the Brock family to relent. After all, no one was going to take away his wife, the mother of
his kids.

Marissa lifted her gaze, her eyes burning with a mix of frustration and defiance as they met his unyielding stare.
“This is a matter between the Nash and Brock families,” she said, her voice sharp and steady despite the turmoil
inside her. “You don’t need to get involved. If you dare make a move against the Brock family, my father won't
just sit idly by.”
Connor's jaw tightened, his voice low but brimming with frustration. “And what do you expectto do? Stand
by and watch you and Everett get closer? Watch as you marry into the Brock family just to fulfill your father’s
promise? Is that what you want?” His tone darkened as he added, “Because if you go through with it, | swear Ill
destroy the Brock family entirely.”
Marissa let out a soft, weary sigh, her tone dipping into exasperation. “Connor, can you let go ofnow?” she
asked, her voice quieter this time.
His arms were wrapped around her so tightly she could hardly breathe, the warmth of his embrace stirring an
unbidden mix of emotions. She shifted uncomfortably, a faint flush rising to her cheeks. Their closeness felt
suffocating, especially with the fear that someone might walk in and catch them like this.
But Connor's grip didn’t waver. His response was resolute, his tone unwavering. “No.”
