Let's Get Married novel Chapter 183

Marina doesn’t change her expression; instead, she says to Maxx in an intimate manner, as if they were old friends, “Thank you for your care over the past several days. May I’ll have to bother you in the future, and I have nothing to pay you back. So, I want to express my gratitude to you with his kiss. It is a kind of social etiquette in America.”

She describes her action as a normal etiquette. It seems that it is really nothing except the expression of her gratitude toward him.

Maxx’s face turns red, feeling ashamed of his overthinking just now and failing to calm himself down.

He has affection for Marina. When he first saw this fragile woman in the airport, he has an impulse to protect her. Then, as they got along well with each other, he unconsciously put more attention on her. And her kiss almost makes his heart jump out of the throat.

Maxx doesn’t dare to look at her. He just carries the luggage and walks out of the villa in a hurry.

The car is unobstructed all the way. Since Rex has informed the safeguards of the villa community, the car also pulls into the front yard of the villa without being stopped.

A middle-aged lady stands at the door of the villa. When seeing the lady, Marina is a little bit surprised. She never hears from Rex there is the other person in the house, but…

“Ma…Miss Marina, we are here.” Maxx subconsciously wants to all Marina’s name, but he soon realizes that it is not appropriate to do that in this place, so he immediately corrects himself.

Marina appreciates people who know what they should do, like Maxx. She opens the door of the car. Unexpectedly, it suddenly drizzles.

Fanny immediately holds an umbrella over Marina, asking, “Are you Miss Marina?”

Marina studies Fanny at a glance and becomes sure that she never knows her before. She doesn’t introduce herself; instead, she asks Fanny, “Who are you?”

Fanny is stunned at the moment, but she immediately explains, “I am Fanny, a housekeeper of Mr. Rex.”

“A servant…” Marina nods and murmurs.

Her careless words embarrass Fanny. A servant? It is impolite to call someone a servant, and few people would do this, they would call people like Fanny a housekeeper.

Although she complains in heart, Fanny doesn’t dare to show any expression on her face. Anyway, she works in Rex’s house. And Marina is a guest, she is just a housekeeper.

Fanny leads Marina to the house. When hearing that there is some sounds, Lily and Rex walk downstairs from the second floor. They are all in dark-blue pajamas. At the first sight of their pajamas, one may think that they are wearing lovers’ pajamas.

Although she has prepared herself for the scene, she fails to control herself and feels afflictive when seeing this in person.

Since they live together, something must happen. When thinking that Rex is so intimate to the other woman, and even do something that he has never done with her with that woman, she feels heartbroken, as if millions of ants are crawling across her heart.

Marina closes her eyes and tries to calm herself down. She must control her mood and not let it disclose.

“Mr. Rex, here are all the luggage of Miss Marina.” Maxx carries all the luggage into the house without looking at Marina.

Rex nods and says, “Thank you. Now you can come back home to have a rest.”

Maxx, who holds the key of the car in hand, tightens his hand and takes a step forward, asking, “Mr. Rex, when shall I come again.”

“I will inform you later.”

“Okay.” Maxx turns around and leave. He glances at Marina, as if he does it unintentionally. But he then quickly shifts his sight and leaves the villa.

Soon, the sound of the engine can be heard from the courtyard. Knowing that Maxx has left, Marina breathes a sigh of relief secretly.
