Chapter 170 Defense method

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, s 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 hits 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.

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.”

As far as Renee could recall, Jessica was a woman who valued etiquette and fashion, always dressed impeccably.

But Marcelo unexpectedly interrupted, saying, “Renee, you’ve got it all wrong.”

“What?“Renee’s eyes widened in surprise at Marcelo’s revelation

Marcelo gently brushed his fingertips against her face, a faint smile playing on his lips as he explained, “She is

mother too.

It was a simple statement, but it carried significant meaning. It was a sign of his acknowledgment and acceptance of her

The following day, the moment Renee sat up in bed, she was greeted by Marcelo’s voice.

“You’re up so early. It seems like you lied to me about being tired last night,” he teased.

When Renee saw Marcelo sitting in the armchair beside the bed, grossed in reading documents, she found herself momentarily speechless..

“How come you’re not at work?”
