Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 1981

...

Shelton crossed his legs and teased Desmond. "She's already gone. Why are you still watching?"

The people next to him also laughed and echoed, "Don't worry. This floor has only exclusive VIP rooms. The bathroom is a few steps away on the right side of the door. She won't get lost!"

Then, there was a burst of laughter.

Someone said with a smile, "Hey? Desmond was forced to marry, right?"

Shelton looked at Desmond and teased. "I can testify for this. His father had been diagnosed with intermediate-stage cancer. The doctor said that there were only two years left for him. So, his grandpa threatened Desmond to get married. He had no choice but to agree."

"At that time, he planned to get married first and divorce when his grandfather passed away. Desmond, am I right?"

Desmond smiled.

He shook the red wine glass in his hand and nodded. "Yes."

It was his plan at the beginning.

Shelton was his closest friend, so he didn't hide his thoughts from him.

However, as the forced marriage began, his feelings toward Mia had quietly started to change...

The corners of Desmond's mouth twitched slightly. Just before he spoke up again, he noticed the weird looks on Shelton and the people beside him. They looked at someone behind him in embarrassment.

Desmond sat at the outer side of the group, his back facing the door.

He stiffened at the thought of something.

He turned around and saw Mia at the door, her face pale.

Mia just came back from the bathroom. When she pushed the door open and came in, she heard all the conversation between Shelton and him.

His words hit her in the head.

She knew that they got married before knowing each other well.

She also knew that Desmond married her because of the elders' arrangements. However, she didn't realize that Desmond had the idea of divorcing her in two years when his family no longer needed it.

Once a couple becomes a husband and wife, they should never be suspicious of their love.

Mia believed in it, but it turned out that they treated their marriage in totally different ways.

Mia's usually bright and pure eyes darkened. All of a sudden, sadness and frustration surged inside her heart.

The second before she lost control, she turned around and escaped.

Shelton slapped his mouth hard for saying something so mean.

...

He was extremely annoyed. "Damn. She must have misunderstood us!"

Everyone present knew very well that although Desmond was forced to get married, he loved his wife. They had seen them together after his marriage. Desmond would always talk about his wife in a sweet tone and show off their love every time they gathered.

Desmond's attitude toward the marriage changed so much that Shelton intended to tease him on purpose. Yet, he did not expect to jeopardize their relationship!

"I'm sorry, bro!" His face was full of guilt.

As Mia's pale face emerged in his mind, Desmond clenched his hands and nearly crushed the red wine glass in his hand.

His heart ached so much.

The next second, he remembered Dan's question: do you want to know why she married you?

Dan also said that Mr. Chadwick taught Mia well, so she was grateful and sympathetic.

Desmond understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

Mia married him not only because of the sick Mr. Borbon but also because she was compassionate and grateful.

Otherwise, she might not marry him.

She could be free.

He put down his wine cup and clenched his fist as if he was forcing himself to make a decision.

He twitched the corner of his mouth but did not smile. "It's okay. I should thank you instead."

When Shelton heard his words, he was stunned and confused. He urged him anxiously, "Go to chase her and explain everything to her!"
