Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 293

For the first time, Marvin didn't find the youngsters, who were about the same age as his cousins, annoying.

The atmosphere turned awkward as the students mischievously jeered at them.

Helpless to the situation, Sarah grabbed Marvin by the wrist and took them out of there. Marvin's gaze fell on her delicate fingers wrapped around his wrist.

With one deft movement, he flicked his hand, slipping it from her hold, and intertwined their fingers together.

Caught her!

Sarah didn't even notice. She was too focused on escaping their raucous audience.

“Sarah, I haven't eaten yet," Marvin said, playing the pity card yet again.

“Then go home and eat. Didn't Vance hire a five-star chef for you? He lives right next door to your place, doesn't he?" Sarah didn't fall for his act.

“Sarah…," Marvin began, his tone turning serious, his expression a little pensive. "Are you angry at me for kissing you? Is that why you're so hostile to me now?"

“I'm not..." Sarah drifted off, her brows furrowing as she looked for the right words to say. Whenever Marvin acted like this, she felt like a bully who was unnecessarily hurting the feelings of someone experiencing cognitive difficulties.

“If you're not angry at me, that means that you don't hate me, right? Then why can't you accept me?"

“That's not how relationships work, Marvin." Sarah sighed.

Suddenly, with a swift movement of his arm, Marvin drew Sarah close and embraced her firmly. His hold resembled that of a mighty dragon fiercely protecting its treasure, filled with intense anticipation and possessiveness.

He nestled his face against her neck and coaxed her. "Sarah, you're not dating anyone right now. How about giving me a chance?"

Sarah found herself involuntarily tightening her fists.

She had suffered betrayal from Quincy, leading to the ruin of her family.

Once bitten, twice shy.

She lacked the courage for a second attempt.

Sarah confessed that she didn't dislike Marvin at all. In fact, she started to feel a warm connection to him as they spent more time together.

He would replace her whiskey with milk and juice, because drinking was bad for her health.

He showed no mercy to his enemies and was tough on his subordinates, but he had always treated her with kindness.

It was as if he would always be there to watch over her.

However, the man before her was the powerful Marvin.

He was too dangerous.

Sarah’s instincts whispered that it might be wise to limit her interactions with this man. Spending a month with Marvin was enough for her.

She remained silent, wearing a stern expression, determined not to give in.

“Then I'll pursue you." Marvin added, "Even if you don't allow me to do so, I will still pursue you."

Sarah snorted in anger.

“Whatever. I'll head back to the dorm, and you can leave on your own. Make sure you don't disrupt the school's rules once more."

“I won't leave." Marvin refused without hesitation.

What was the point of him going back alone?

“Aren't you going to pursue me? Have you forgotten the basic principle of pursuing a girl?" Sarah asked, her face devoid of emotion.

“What basic principle?" Marvin had never chased after someone before, so he was completely clueless about it.

“You should listen to me." After saying that, Sarah turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait." Marvin grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing? Don't follow me. I'll get mad." Sarah’s face twisted with a brewing storm of anger as she frowned.

“I will leave after we have dinner together," Marvin ventured.

He couldn't allow Sarah to leave at this moment.

If she headed back at this point, there was a good chance she'd cross paths with Marcelo.
