Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 680

"Marion," Debra said suddenly, "the first time we met was at that auction, wasn't it?"

Marion nodded. "Yes, it was."

"Back then, you were deliberately bidding against me, just to get my attention, weren't you?"

"Yes."

Marion chuckled, and Debra frowned playfully. "You're sneaky. Who taught you to catch a girl's attention that way?"

With a quiet laugh, Marion admitted, "It was the only idea I could come up with at the time."

Debra's voice dropped. "What if I hadn't shown up that night? Or what if I'd shown up looking a mess?"

That auction was a pivotal moment. If she had tried to mimic Shelia's style in her last life and ended up a laughingstock, Marion might never have noticed her. He might have even thought she was ridiculous.

Marion's gaze intensified. "It wouldn't have mattered. Whether you were dressed to impress or in a mess, as long as you showed up, I'd have known you were the one I wanted."

"Sweet talker," Debra muttered.

After all, in her previous life, their paths hadn't crossed at all.

Before she could dwell on it further, Marion cupped her face in his hands, his deep eyes brimming with emotion.

His voice dropped to a hushed whisper. "Debra, I will never lie to you."

Debra smiled softly, her eyes meeting his. "I know. Even if the whole world lied to me, I believe you wouldn't."

But just as she was about to call Chace, Marion interrupted her.

"Did you forget something important?"

"Huh?"

Marion smirked and pulled something from his pocket. It was her missing ring.

Debra immediately reached out to grab it, but Marion pulled his hand back, holding the ring just out of her reach. "You care more about losing your phone than losing this ring? Looks like I'm not as important as I thought."

Debra pouted, stomping her foot lightly. "I knew you had it. Stop teasing me and put it back on."

Marion finally gave in. He gently took her hand and slipped the ring back onto her finger, his tone serious. "Don't lose it again."
