Kieran hugged me and approached Marlon with a smile. "Mr. Redford, is there a problem with your hearing? I said Rachael was my girlfriend!" As he spoke, he revealed a triumphant grin towards Marlon.
Marlon grabbed Kieran's collar with a jerk, his eyes burning with anger. He waved his hand and was about to punch Kieran.
"Marlon, what are you doing!" Alicia barged in covering her mouth in shock, her eyes wide open. Regaining her senses, she ran over and grabbed Marlon's hand.
"Look, Mr. Redford, your fiancé is here!" Kieran said with a leisurely smile. In his arms, I was frightened by the tension just now. I didn't move and decided to be a bystander.
Marlon didn't say anything but stared at Kieran.
"Marlon, are you alright? What happened? Don't scare me! Speak!" Alicia was scared. She checked Marlon for injuries and started weeping.
"Mr. Redford, your fiancé is crying from fright. Shouldn't you explain what happened just now? Also, that contract!" Kieran took me to sit on the sofa.
I cheered up and felt something inexplicable. I looked at Marlon and waited for him to explain the situation. And what he had been up to.
Although Alicia knew Marlon and I shared a past, I was curious about her expression when she found out about the truth.
Alicia noticed the contract on the table. Marlon grabbed it and tossed it into the trash can without giving it a look. "Alicia doesn't need to know about such a meaningless matter!"
Bang!
It was as if something had hit my heart, and for a moment, I was unable to recover from the blow.
"Yes, Marlon!" Alicia did not pursue the matter. She only obediently nodded and smiled. Marlon raised his hand to touch Alicia's head but shot a sharp glance at me, as if it had been dipped with poison.
I didn't want to look at Marlon, but my stubbornness froze my eyes. Suddenly, a warm and broad hand covered them. I turned my head in surprise and saw through the gap that Kieran smiled at me confidently.
A warm current flowed through me. I quickly closed my eyes. Rachael, you had been tricked once. Don't fall for it again. Kieran must have an agenda.
"Rachael, you are not allowed to think about any other man besides me!" Kieran whispered in my ear. I felt like I had been hit fiercely by electricity.
"Enough of that. You can find your way out!" Marlon said coldly as he stared at us.
Kieran helped me up and patted my clothes. Then he patted his own clothes, turned around, and said joyfully, "Right, my engagement with Rachael is the same day as yours!"
"It looks like I have to tell her parents the good news tonight!" Kieran seemed to be muttering to himself.
"Is that so?" Marlon sneered.
"Of course!" Kieran smiled.
Kieran's and Marlon's eyes met. I looked at them but was irritated, because I didn't know what Kieran meant by that.
Kieran and I left Marlon Group. I stepped forward to block Kieran's path and asked, "Mr. Charles, what exactly do you want?"
Kieran looked at me and smiled, "I'm in love with you. I want to marry you!"
This time, I laughed. "This is impossible!" Any man in the world might fall in love with me, but not Kieran, who was like a demon of some kind.
