THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 28

CHAPTER 28

The following morning, Daniella was surprised to see Lilian waiting for her. She smiled at her sister but at the same time, she felt guiltier for doing what she promised she wouldn't do...especially with her ex-husband. "Hi, Lil," she greeted Lilian.

"Good morning, Ella. Did Marcus spend the night here?" She questioned immediately upon seeing her, and when Ella's cheeks flushed, she knew! "However, the airtaxi scheduled for us by Alexander's acquaintance will arrive in thirty minutes. "Are you accompanying us or not?"

Daniella was taken aback when Lilian casually inquired about Marcus, as if he were often present. "Of course I'm returning home, but Lil, I gave Marcus another opportunity." She informed Lilian about her true relationship with Marcus.

"I'm sure you're giving him more than a chance," Lilian replied with a grin toward Daniella. She had always known that Daniella retained some affections for Marcus, despite her best efforts to suppress them. It was evident in her eyes whenever she spoke his name.

"Is it self-evident?" Daniella abruptly became aware of her looks. What if Alexander was also aware of what occurred last night between her and Marcus? "What has become of Alexander?" She enquired.

"Oh, he's outside waiting. He said, "Where is your ex-husband, Marcus?" Lilian made a joke about Marcus to Daniella, and both women giggled.

Daniela and Lilian both came to a halt in their laughter as Marcus emerged from the restroom with only a towel concealing his asset. Lilian locked her gaze on Daniella, her eyes widening as she noticed Ella's hair was also damp. "Wait, you were just getting out of the shower, correct?" She inquired in such hushed tones that Marcus would be unable to hear them.

Daniella nodded and pleaded with Lilian to keep her tongue shut. "There will be insufficient time if you take a shower." She told Lilian that they needed to hurry up and gather their belongings. "Marcus will assist me in packing our belongings; simply proceed to the front desk to check out." She directed her to proceed.

They boarded the airtaxi and were already in Oslob an hour later. Peter was already waiting to pick them up at the tourist drop-off spot.
