Chapter 785 We’ll Have Our Love Night After All
At the Régio Hotel that night, Mark was deeply upset after hearing Celia’s decision. She told him she would accept being fired, if that meant avoiding more problems for him.But Mark could not accept such a sacrifice, and his voice came sharp in response.“Celia, don’t be ridiculous,” he said, frowning. “Who’s speculating that we’re having an affair?”On the other end, in Jake’s apartment, Celia sat on the sofa with tears glistening in her eyes, her voice breaking with desperation.“It’s not that we are having an affair,” she whispered. “People are gossiping that one day we will...”“That’s a lie!” Mark cut in, fierce and determined. “All of this is just your fears talking.”“You think I don’t have reasons to be afraid, Mark?” she shot back.“No,” he said firmly. “You’re my ex-wife, and you sacrificed yourself for Brie without even knowing it. You deserve to be rewarded, not punished.”Her lips curved into a trembling smile, fragile but comforted by his words. She felt protected again
Chapter 784 You Owe Nothing to Celia
At Ferro House, Nadir and Briana were having an excellent dinner. They could hear Julian’s splashes in the pool. Regis was nervously closing the window curtains so the two ladies wouldn’t see the cook swimming without a swimsuit. “Is the dinner to your liking, ladies?” Regis asked, disguising his nervousness. “It’s delicious, Regis,” Nadir looked around. “Where’s the cook so we can thank him?” “He’s swimming in the pool, Mom. It’s his second hobby,” Briana giggled. “We’ll talk to him later.” “Much later, ladies!” Regis cleared his throat nervously, fearing the ladies might get scared if they went to the pool now. After a bow, he left. Nadir found the closed curtains strange but decided to bring up another subject. “Daughter, now that we’re alone, what’s this nonsense about feeling ‘indebted’ to Celia?” Briana took a deep breath, sipped some grape juice, and continued, “I don’t even know how to explain it, Mom. You know Celia was also a victim of the spiked coffee, ‘courtesy’ o
Chapter 783 Hanging up the Phone on Lord Ferro’s Face!
At Karl and Luana’s apartment, the couple’s night was interrupted when Karl had to talk to an upset Mark. “Mark, your wife should stay home if she wasn’t feeling well enough to work,” Karl asserted. “As for Celia’s dismissal—” “Can’t you stop whimpering about it, huh?” Mark interrupted him. “It was a legitimate and necessary request!” Karl insisted. “Celia Soares is neither reliable as an employee nor as a friend. We have grounds to fire her, but for some strange reason, you decided to protect her.” Mark hardened his gaze. “There’s nothing strange about wanting to protect her. Cut it out, my friend.” “Yes, there is,” Karl smiled maliciously. “I remember she’s your ex-wife. Mark, do you still have feelings for Celia?” Mark clenched his phone tighter, outraged by such a question appearing. “Are you crazy? I love Briana. She’s my wife, and we’re going to have a baby!” “Great! Keep repeating that in front of the mirror every night so you don’t forget,” Karl joked. “I will never f
Chapter 782 New Royal Couple?
After the initial greetings, Clayton and Franciane were having fun at a table far from the Italian bar. Mark and Vargas occasionally looked at the couple, suspicious of their intentions. “Are we possibly looking at Aurelia’s next royal couple?” Vargas asked softly, taking a bite of arancini. “That’s what it looks like.” Mark smiled mischievously. “The guy didn’t waste any time, huh? He knows the Parliament would pressure him to find a wife to be our queen. Instead of risking being assigned an ugly, overweight wife, he already found a beauty that pleases him.” “Very well, let’s see what the future holds for us.” Vargas finished his drink. “Shall we go back to the hotel?” Mark grabbed his phone. “Lord Ferro, allow me to handle the payment for what we ate,” Vargas said, getting up, sensing that Mark wanted to make a call. Mark handed his wallet to Vargas, who went to the bar. Mark scrolled through his contacts until he found the letter K. On the other end of the call, Karl and Lu
Chapter 781 I Don’t Need to Pretend Anymore
Mark and Vargas were enjoying the appetizers they had ordered, savoring the food.The bar had grown busier as the evening progressed. More customers filled the interior, while more people passed by outside.“This seems to be a popular tourist spot,” Vargas observed.“Definitely. Aurelia has its own charm,” Mark commented, watching a group of friends taking a selfie.Suddenly, something caught their attention.The famous Clayton was walking down the street with a young woman, maybe a friend or a date.Anyone who didn’t know him would’ve assumed they were just another tourist couple.However, Vargas’s trained eye noticed someone in plain clothes not far behind them, clearly acting as security.“What do you think of this place, Clayton?” the woman asked.“Sounds interesting. Let’s stay here... although it’s pretty crowded...” Clayton’s eyes landed on Mark’s table.Mark nodded subtly, holding his Negroni.“Well, that’s interesting...” Clayton smiled.“What is it?” the girl tried to see wh
Chapter 780 Tourist Street
Mark and Vargas were strolling through the streets of Aurelia’s capital, enjoying the nighttime cityscape.They turned onto a street that seemed dominated by snack bars and pubs. Some establishments had tables out on the sidewalk, where customers were eating and drinking without a care for the people walking by.It was a pedestrian-only street, so there were no cars driving through and polluting the food with exhaust fumes.“This is a fun street, Lord Ferro,” Vargas commented.“I think we can skip the fancy hotel dinner and settle for some interesting street food. What do you think, Regis?” Mark suggested.“It’s your call, Lord Ferro,” Vargas replied, pointing to the left.Mark noticed, from a distance, one of the men in gray apparently drinking something, but with his hand always ready to draw his revolver if Mark was in danger.“I hope your gray-suit guy doesn’t get drunk enough to shoot himself in the foot,” Mark joked.“I’m sure that drink’s non-alcoholic, Lord Ferro,” Vargas quic
