Chapter 831 You Can Trust Mark
In the solemn quiet of the Vasconcelos Mansion’s living room, the conversation between uncle and nephew pressed on with some gravity that neither could escape.“Nephew,” Sandro began, his tone surprisingly gentle, “first of all, let me tell you that I’m glad you’ve decided to bring this matter up.”Christopher blinked, caught off guard. “Glad? What do you mean?”Sandro leaned forward, folding his hands. “We never truly received an explanation for why you returned to the university while that unpleasant situation was still unfolding.”Christopher did not hesitate. “No need for polite words, uncle. You can say it plainly. It was during my clumsy attempt to accuse Mark of cutting the brakes on my car.”“You acted wrongly, Chris,” Sandro said, cautious now, measuring each syllable. “We always assumed you ran back to the university in disgrace, too humiliated after being exposed.”Christopher leaned in, his eyes sharp. “Do you really want to know what happened, uncle? I didn’t flee, terrif
Chapter 832 Picking Up Names for the Baby
Mark was stretched out against the headboard of the master bed, clad only in his boxers, his voice calm yet commanding as he finished a call to the staff who managed the deserted island where he and Briana had spent their honeymoon.“Yes, that’s right,” he said, his tone softened by a trace of satisfaction. “Wait for the date, and then you will attend to this couple of friends of ours in the best way possible. I trust you. Until then.”He ended the call just as Briana emerged from the bathroom, her hair still damp, the freshness of toothpaste on her breath. She had caught enough of his words to understand the meaning.“Oh, darling, you’re here already,” Mark murmured, stretching with a lazy yawn.“Is everything under control?” she asked, slipping beside him and arranging the pillows to cradle her back.“Exactly,” he replied, settling comfortably against the headboard. “Now we can finally nap.”She shifted, seeking a position for her growing belly. “It’s getting harder each time to sim
Chapter 833 The Great Luncheon
The great luncheon at the Vasconcelos Mansion, held in honor of Christopher, was drawing to its end as dessert was served. Around the long polished table, conversation lingered with the weight of family histories and unspoken rivalries.From his seat, Christopher allowed his eyes to wander toward Patricio and Katrina, who now comported themselves openly as a couple. He shook his head in disbelief. Not long ago, it had been James who occupied that role at the family table.“Is there a problem with your chocolate truffle tart, my grandson?” Althea asked with her usual sharp attentiveness.Christopher straightened at once, masking his thoughts with a practiced smile. “Not at all, Grandma. It’s delicious. I only hope it doesn’t ruin the abs I’ve worked so hard for.”Gilson chuckled, slapping his knee. “Not at all, son! You’re just like I was at your age.”“Looooong, long years ago,” Nadir remarked dryly.That was enough to ignite Claudia’s temper. “What is your problem, you shameless harl
Chapter 834 We’ll Have a Visitor
Ferro House, afternoon.Mark cut through the still waters of the pool with strong, steady strokes, every movement a quiet assertion of his dominion over the house that bore his name.Julian had stepped out earlier, leaving him free to enjoy the silence.On a nearby chaise, Briana lounged gracefully, her gaze fixed on her husband with a smile that blended satisfaction with admiration.Each movement of his broad shoulders, each calculated breath, seemed to please her deeply.Not long before, Mark had stood in the master suite, his brow furrowed as he rummaged through his closet.He had searched for swimming trunks or Speedos in vain, the unmistakable handiwork of Lady Ferro: Briana’s playful mischief once again leaving him with no choice but to indulge her whim.And so, he had swan in the water as he was, as she wished, naked under the sunlight.It seemed Briana had inherited that bold streak from her mother.The sound of Briana’s phone chiming interrupted the quiet rhythm of water agai
Chapter 835 Paradise Club
Regis had managed to reach Rubem just in time, urging him to investigate Julian’s whereabouts.Wearing his usual gray suit, Rubem approached the Paradise Club with deliberate caution, scanning the surroundings like a man on a covert mission. He unlocked his phone and studied the glowing screen.On one of Julian’s social media profiles, there was a recent post: a picture of him with a male friend and a rather attractive woman, the location of the club proudly tagged beneath it.Rubem smirked. “Seems our friend decided to mark his location, just in case he doesn’t manage to get out of that woman’s bed again.”But when he finally drew close enough to see the place for himself, his jaw nearly dropped.The Paradise Club, despite its grandiose name, was far from formal. It was open-air, casual, alive with chatter and laughter.The afternoon sun beat down mercilessly, and the heat had persuaded many guests to wander in wearing little more than swimsuits. Men in shorts, women in bikinis, the
Chapter 836 Disappointed with Her Big Bro
Christopher stood rigid, his expression one of disbelief as he confronted Patricio in the living room of Vasconcelos Mansion by the afternoon.“I can’t believe this,” he exclaimed, his voice sharp. “You made a bet with Briana and Mark about who would have the best nursery?”Patricio shifted uncomfortably. “Why are you overreacting like that?”“Because apparently Katrina didn’t tell you what happened the last time something like this took place,” Christopher shot back.“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.”“You NEED to know,” Christopher insisted. “Mark and Briana won that little competition, and Katrina never had a happy marriage with James after that. Not once.”The remark landed like a punch. Patricio hesitated, frowning. “Hey, I’m not going to let something like that ruin what I have with your sister.”“Then you already know what to do,” Christopher replied firmly. “You need to stop indulging her obsession with competing against Briana.”“You talk as if you’ve been through this
Chapter 837 Not Suitable for Grown People
Back to the poolside of the Paradise Club, Julian lounged between Adalberto and Melinda. The three reclined in beach chairs, watching the restless crowd drift in and out of the water.A few seats away, unnoticed by them, Rubem sat sprawled in his own chair, his eyes sweeping the scene like a silent observer of chaos.“That girl’s a knockout,” he murmured to himself, lips curling into a sly grin. “I wonder if she’s the one who’ll wreck Julian by next week, or if that honor goes to the other guy.”Julian, oblivious to Rubem’s remark, was doing his best to calm his nerves before his meeting with Nadir.He tried to distract himself by studying the people around him.The majority were young, his age or slightly older, chatting, laughing, and slipping away in pairs toward the shaded pavilions that lined the inner area of the club.Every few minutes, a woman would approach one of the lounging men, whisper something, and the two would vanish behind the columns.Julian’s brow furrowed. The Par
Chapter 838 One Less Enemy, Again
Regis entered the living room carrying a silver tray, arranging the afternoon tea with his customary elegance. On the polished wooden coffee table, he placed a porcelain teapot and a plate of cornstarch biscuits. Mark and Briana leaned forward together, serving themselves with unhurried grace, she pouring the fragrant anise tea, he reaching for a biscuit.“Julian has already left for his meeting, Lord Ferro,” Regis informed them, folding his hands neatly behind his back.Mark smiled, a touch of humor lighting his severe features. “Do we have enough food to last at least a week, Regis?”The butler’s eyes gleamed faintly. “I doubt we’ll miss him for that long, sir. If you’ll excuse me.”With a stately bow, Regis withdrew, leaving a faint air of mystery behind him.Briana frowned, amused and curious. “What did he mean by that? You think Julian will even make it out of that fiery woman’s bed before sunrise?”“Or perhaps she’ll turn out to be the modest, well-behaved type,” Mark mused.“Ev
Chapter 839 Desperate Decision
Julian sat motionless beneath the blinding afternoon sun, his eyes fixed on the inflatable tunnel wobbling at the far end of the Paradise Club’s pool area. It had clearly been designed for children, bright, soft, and harmless.Yet now it was being conquered by grown men in their twenties and thirties, all of them far too large for it, thrashing and wriggling through as though the tunnel were some test of masculinity. The thing shuddered and quaked, inflated walls bulging and trembling as the muffled groans and cries of the trapped echoed from within.He felt the sting of regret twisting in his chest. Waiting for Nadir here, of all places, suddenly seemed like a terrible mistake.Beside him, Adalberto spoke with the unbothered arrogance of a man who had never experienced shame.“The woman I’ll spend the night with,” he boasted, reclining comfortably, “has serious money. Not the first time, of course. That’s why I’m confident I’ll soon have my own loft.”“Good for you,” Julian murmured
Chapter 840 Of Course, I Care About My Baby!
Patricio opened the apartment door with a grunt, his arms weighed down by Katrina’s luggage. She followed close behind, carrying lighter bags but with the same air of irritation. Gilson came in last, still trying to balance the remaining suitcases.“Your father shouldn’t be carrying that much weight, darling,” Patricio said dryly, unable to hide his irony.Gilson, oblivious to the jab, puffed out his chest. “Don’t you worry about me! I’m as strong as a bull!”“Patricio, don’t start,” Katrina snapped, tossing her handbags onto the nearest sofa with an exasperated sigh. She looked ready to cry from frustration.“What’s gotten into you now?” he asked, already suspecting the answer.“You’re really asking?” she shot back. “I wanted you both on my side, but—”Gilson set the remaining suitcases on the floor. “Both? Who’s the other person?”“Chris!” Katrina exclaimed, her eyes widening. “He refuses to help me beat Briana!”Patricio glanced at Gilson, silently asking whether his daughter had l
