Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 270

Only by firmly embracing this woman did he truly feel her presence, as if this was the only way to ensure she wouldn't be taken away by anyone else.

Seeing that her protests had no effect,Renee gave in.

She remained seated on his lap, taking a sip of milk tea from the cup she had opened and then donned disposable gloves to begin eating the fried chicken.

Why did she have the feeling that he had become so assertive without her even noticing? "Marcelo..."

“What is it?" he replied without looking up from the documents, his profile still displaying its usual angular and somewhat aloof demeanor.

“Do you like to…you know…have…make physical contact with me because you’re in love with me?”Renee had this question in mind but hesitated to voice it.

She had noticed a change in his attitude, a growing closeness and indulgence between them. However, he had never explicitly expressed his feelings for her, even though she had made attempts to draw those words

In the end,Renee decided not to push further.

She feared that asking directly might lead to a disappointing response.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Marcelo unexpectedly inquired.

“I'm planning to go to the shopping mall tomorrow morning to pick out an outfit for Nana, and I don't have any other plans for tomorrow," she said.”What do you have in mind?"

“Tomorrow is Paul’s birthday,"Marcelo revealed, producing an invitation from his drawer. It was an invitation to Paul’s seventy-fifth birthday celebration.

Renee hadn't expected Marcelo to be willing to attend Paul’s birthday party, given their complicated history.

It would be considered quite charitable if he simply refrained from bringing a knife to the event. She pondered for a moment and then asked, "Will your mother be there?" It was the only possibility that came to her mind.

If Jessica attended, Marcelo might consider going.

"You are incredibly astute," He remarked with a kiss to her face, praising her intelligence.

Paul’s birthday party was set to be a lavish affair, with invitations extended to the elite from various circles.

Marcelo’s absence would tarnish Paul’s reputation.

Concerned about his pride,Paul wouldn't let that happen. Hence, he used the leverage of Jessica to persuade Marcelo to attend.

“Alright,"Renee agreed. She was eager to see Jessica and thought it might be an opportunity. "In that case, I'll select a couple more outfits for your mother tomorrow morning."
