Marlon suddenly turned to me. His gaze was cold, filling with threat and warning, "Rachael, you are doing all these because you want to stay with me, right? I am giving you the chance now, do not waste it!"
I was stunned and angry. But he was right, I was trying my best to stay by his side.
But what he was wrong about was that this was not what I want for now. I needed a complete family, a father of my child so that my children could grow up happily.
"Thank you, Mr. Redford!" I smiled with a mocking expression. I did not attempt to argue with Marlon. Instead, I turned around and start tidying up the room. When I was back, Marlon's eyes were closed, and he was breathing evenly. I did not know if he was asleep, but I did not care.
I went to bed, got close to Marlon, took a picture, and sent it to Alicia. After that, I switched off my phone.
‘My dear sister, wish you have a good night and nice dream!’
I smiled happily. But before I could laugh out, I was suddenly pulled into Marlon's embrace. I froze all over. In the night, I was not able to see Marlon's expression, but I could smell his unique scent, the scent that I was so familiar with.
I itched to embrace him harder!
And the little dear in my heart started jumping.
How long had it been? When was the last time that I was hugged by Marlon like this? No, I forgot, it never happened.
Tears almost flowed out of my eyes. Every time I was hurt, I thought that I would be different. I thought that I would treat Marlon differently, but it was always the same. I was still deeply infatuated with him and love him!
I did not resist and chose to nestle in Marlon's embrace. I, at this moment, would not allow him to marry Alicia. And I was more curious about how he could marry that disgusting Alicia.
‘Marlon, the show is about to start!’
It was a dreamless night. I slept soundly. When I woke up, Marlon had already left. I could not help myself but smell his scent left on the quilt.
The alarm rang and woke me up from the sleep. I hurriedly packed up and went to the company. On the bus, I turned on my phone and found that everything about me had disappeared as trending topics. There were no photos left, and the statement of Mr. Night was gone too.
It was Kieran!
I instinctively thought of Kieran. I had a feeling that no one would help me eliminate everything except him. Of course, I would never be narcissistic enough to think that Kieran was doing this for me. Of course, it was because of his noble image. But even so, I felt warm.
I had to say, although Kieran was a terrifying man as a backer, he was very powerful.
Suddenly, my eyes stopped. My phone was bombarded with the news that Kieran and I were getting engaged. It was all over the news.
The news said that Kieran was getting engaged to a mysterious woman in two days.
The picture that was published was of me holding hands with Kieran, and my face was blurred. Without thinking, I knew Kieran had instructed Armand to take this picture, because no one else would have the courage to secretly take Kieran’s picture.
Naturally, the news was published under Kieran's command. Otherwise, no one would risk their lives to do this!
But why did he do this? My engagement with him was just a contract and an act. What should I do now after it was announced to everyone? The only thing I should be grateful for now was my face couldn’t be seen clearly.
"What, Mr. Charles is getting engaged, how could it happen?"
"Mr. Charles, the arrogant man, is getting engaged! How is this possible?"
