Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Needed that divorce

Vivian staggered back two steps before she was able to stop herself. Eyes wide, she stared at Marcelo in disbelief, her mind a confused mess.

“L. L.”

After a long time, she finally managed a weak, unconvincing smile. “I know…The other day, I heard Luke call her Mrs. King.”

Uttering these words was exceptionally challenging for her

Vivian couldn’t accept the fact that another woman had already become Marcelo’s wife, a position she had longed for and fantasized about for years!

She clasped her hands in front of her. When she looked at him again, she was calm, the true picture of composure.

However, one look at her white, tightly clenched fingers made it clear she was anything but.

“Marcelo, you…When did you get together with her? Why didn’t I hear anything of it?Renee Hudson has been famous since she was a child. Why didn’t you have feelings for her…”

“I don’t need to explain anything about my marriage to you Renee and I are married and I intend to be with her for the rest of my life.“Marcelo was a little more patient with Vivian than he was with others, but he could only answer one question patiently.

“Marcelo, is it because of Renee that you kind of pushed me away.She doesn’t want you to hang out with me, does she?“Vivian chose her words carefully.

“It’s not because of her.It’s because of me.I only want to hang out with my wife.“Marcelo suddenly recalled Renee’s attitude, so he added, “Remember to take a coat along the next time you go out.I will not lend out my coat again.”

He didn’t add anything to the abrupt sentence, but anyone with a functioning brain could discern what he truly

meant.

Upon hearing this, Vivian’s complexion grew visibly pale. She hung her head with a sense of guilt and quietly replied, “I understand…We have known each other since childhood, and throughout the years, you have always been there to take care of me. I’m sorry I didn’t anticipate that Renee would…mind it so much.”

She almost said that Renee was so narrow–minded and annoying.

Seeing that Vivian had nothing else to say, Marcelo nodded at her and moved towards Renee’s direction.

While sitting on the sofa,Renee started feeling a little sleepy. She couldn’t help but squint and let out a gentle yawn, like a content cat basking in the warmth of the sun.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a wheelchair in front of her.

“Are you sleepy? It’s just seven o’clock.” Marcelo frowned slightly, thinking that she was no ing well.

“Humph. Are you saying you don’t have any clue why I would be so sleepy?”

Since they were in public, Renee had no choice but to restrain her unhappiness.

Marcelo looked down and chuckled.

Vivian, trailing a few steps behind, overheard Renee’s words. From her angle, she could see a red hickey next to the collar of her black turtleneck sweater.

They were all adults, so anyone who saw it would be able to figure out how Renee got that mark.

It was winter now, so no mosquito could have bitten her.

+25 BONUS.

“Welcome back, Miss Lambert.“Renee looked over Marcelo s shoulder to address the woman behind him.

“Thank you, “Vivian replied, though she found the greeting to be anything but welcoming. If anything, it felt like a provocation. “It looks like you are not in good spirits, Miss Hudson. Please feel free to retire early and get some rest.”

Renee was an eyesore to Vivian, and she wanted to get rid of the woman as soon as possible.

But Renee ignored her and sneered at Marcelo. “I am not in good spirits, indeed.”

Marcelo was unfazed by her obvious sarcasm. They were both seated, so he easily reached out and stroke Renee’s hair.

“You can go to bed early if you don’t feel well.I won’t keep you up tonight.”

Not only was his gesture intimate, his voice was filled with affection, too. Not that he noticed. Needless to say, the sight stung Vivian. She felt like an outsider standing there, so she quickly mumbled an excuse and left in a hurry. The tips of her ears were tinged red with embarrassment as she fled.

A smile slowly formed on Renee’s lips as she watched Vivian go.

Moments later, Vivian was holed up in a cubicle inside the bathroom. She sat on the toilet, her hand pressed against her mouth to stifle her sobs, even as tears streamed down her face.

None of it made sense to her.

Why did Marcelo get married?

Why would he do that shortly after she went abroad to pursue her studies?

Worst of all, he seemed really love Renee.

Heck!

He was devoted to her.

Vivian had thought that no other woman would be able to catch his eye!

Now, Renee didn’t only catch his eye but she caught every part of him.

“Vivian, are you there?” a voice called out from the outside the cubicle. “Is something wrong?”

Vivian stood up and gingerly opened the door. When she saw that it was just Alma Watts, she rushed forward and hugged her friend.

“Hey,” Alma said nervously. “Why are you crying?”

“Alma,Marcelo and Renee…He…He is with her now…” The words spilled out of Vivian tween her choked sobs.

She couldn’t bring herself to use the word “married.”

If she did, it was as good as admitting that she was a third party who was out to ruin their relationship.

In a way, Vivian was glad that Marcelo and Renee had refrained from announcing their marriage to the public.

Alma breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. “It’s not big ded. You’w bees you for swored pears, so Marcelo must have felt lonely. He is a man with needs, it’s understandable for has to sex physod condive feas other women. And whom better to get it from than an attragive woman with no feuilly backroad Dwitwy about it, I’m sure that Marcelo has no feelings for Renee,”

“Really? You’re not just saying that, are you?“Vivian gripped Alma’s hand as if it were a ideline

Alma nodded. She really didn’t believe that Marcelo loved Renee,

“Why would I lie to you? Things are different now. Renee is no longer the prominent figure the once was one can Marcelo possibly fall for her? She’s just his plaything, nothing more.”

“But…They are still together…”

“They’ll break up sooner or later. Come on, even a good number of married couples get divorced every year.”

Vivian blinked as the realization dawned on her. That was right, married couples could still get droed She was finally convinced by Alma claims.

So now, she just needed that divorce to happen.

*********

Meanwhile, Renee was looking around the hall. “Didn’t Damian come today?” she asked Marcelo.

His face instantly darkened. “Why are you asking about another man?”

Renee was already dozing off and failed to notice the shift in his mood.

She explained, “Didn’t he come to the Venus Bar with Jason that night? I had intended to hang out with him some more. He’s fun.”

She had enjoyed playing dice with Damian. Unfortunately, both Damian and Jason were busy today and couldn’t

come.

“I’m fun, too, “Marcelo declared as he squeezed Renee’s delicate hand between his. His voice deepened when he added,

“We can go home right now, and you can do anything you want with me.Tie me up, I won’t mind.”

Renee immediately pulled her hand out of his grip and covered his mouth, her eyes wide with alarm. “What do you think you’re saying? Can’t you read the room?”

Did he have a penchant for talking dirty in public?

Marcelo shrugged nonchalantly. “What does it matter? We are all adults here.”

Renee blinked at him, speechless and indignant. He had a point, though.
