Chapter 200 To change her mind
Renee intended to resist, but the kiss overwhelmed her with its intensity.
Marcelo’s expertise made it feel as though he was drawing every breath from her lungs, sapping her will to
resist.
The embrace was powerful, enduring, and stirred a tum lt of emotions within her.
Renee endeavored to push back, yet the man before her was the secret holder of her unvoiced affection, the love she had concealed deep within her heart.
By the time the kiss ended, her legs trembled with weakness, leaving her to scorn her body’s betrayal.
Breathless, Renee finally mustered the strength to confront him, hissing, “Marcelo, this is a school!”
“Should we find another location, then?” He responded, nonchalantly, his thumb brushing away the trace of their kiss from the corner of her mouth, unaffected by the setting.
He had observed several couples engaging in passionate exchanges just outside for the past two nights.
The seclusion offered by the nearby bushes made them less visible to onlookers.
Seizing the moment to distance herself, Renee’s eyes burned with indignation.
Taking a deep breath to compose herself, she declared, “If you’re more interested in mocking me than discussing our divorce, then there’s nothing left for us to talk about, Marcelo!”
With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Marcelo behind.
Marvin had already left, and Sarah waited for Renee nearby.
As Renee approached, Sarah gestured subtly towards the convenience store, revealing that Renee had inadvertently chosen a spot right between the checkout counter and a large tree for their confrontation.

The cashier, witnessing Renee’s approach, clamped a hand over her mouth to stifle a scream,
shocked.
Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Renee covered her face. Then, accompanied by Sarah, she ventured into the convenience store to purchase sandwiches.
As Renee paid, the cashier couldn’t contain her excitement. “Don’t worry, I didn’t see a thing! I won’t tell a soul! The man who brought you milk tea last night was the one who kissed you just now. Your boyfriend is so handsome!”
Renee was left speechless by the cashier’s contradictory assurance.
Didn’t she say she saw nothing?
Sarah wanted to prepare for her role as an auctioneer at the upcoming prestigious painting auction, so she borrowed a meeting room at the school to practice.
Renee, sticking to her routine, headed to the library to study.

Chapter 200 To change her mind
“Renee.” Howard greeted her in a hushed tone and took a seat diagonally opposite her.

Conversations weren’t suitable in the library, so Renee sent a W******p message to Howard. “Thank you for the coffee. You don’t have to bring it to me next time. It’s such a hassle.”
Howard replied, “It’s no hassle. You don’t need to be so formal with me.”
After responding to the message, Howard set his phone aside and focused on his book.
Renee refrained from discussing the matter further, not wanting to interrupt his reading.
While contemplating the coffee in front of her, she couldn’t help but sense that Howard was treating her differently.
Before she could fully process this, a slight commotion arose around her.
A man in a white shirt and a khaki windbreaker entered. Even without the suit, he exuded an air of someone
about to make financial headlines.
Marcelo approached a seat opposite Renée and asked the woman sitting there, “Could you please switch seats with me?”
His voice was deep and magnetic. The woman’s face turned crimson upon hearing him, and she promptly grabbed her book, standing to vacate her seat for him.
Marcelo sat down, nonchalantly.
The woman then realized something and thought to herself, “Switch seats? But where should I go? This handsome guy doesn’t have a seat, does he?”
Shocked, Renee furrowed her brows and stared at Marcelo.
What was he doing here?
He was disturbing the library’s organization!
However, Marcelo behaved as if he were an ordinary student, opening a book and pretending to read it attentively.
The students around him eventually settled down and resumed their studies.
Occasionally, a few people would sneak glances at Marcelo.
While Marcelo appeared engrossed in his book, Renee couldn’t shake the feeling that he was paying undue attention to her.
Feeling uncomfortable, she shifted in her seat and looked for another vacant spot, intending to move away from him.
But at that moment, Marcelo suddenly raised his head, xing a calm yet piercing gaze on her.
Renee had a strong premonition that if she changed her seat, he would follow her.
What was he playing at?
Increasingly frustrated, Renee found it challenging to concentrate on her work.

After two hours, she couldn’t bear it any longer and walked out of the library.
Almost simultaneously, Marcelo and Howard also stood up and left.
Most of the other students in the library watched as the three of them left.
The expressions on their faces were one of confusion and intrigue.
“What’s going on between them?”
“Is that handsome guy familiar with Howard? Or is it Renee he’s familiar with?”

“Why do I feel like the aura around those three feels like one of danger? Should we follow them and have a look at what they’re doing? They’re not going outside to fight, are they?”
“Who would have the heart to hit someone with a face like Renee’s?”
Even though the students were very curious about the issue, considering that it was someone else’s private matter and Marcelo looked like someone that should not to be trifled with, none of them followed the trio to see what they were up to.
Meanwhile, Marcelo, after taking a few steps outside the library, glanced sideways at Howard who was right beside him.
His eyes looked cold and unfriendly.
“Mr. King, don’t worry. I’m not following you. I’m just looking for Renee,” Howard explained when he saw the hostility in Marcelo’s eyes.
He still couldn’t quite believe that the man walking freely right beside him was the same Marcelo King of the King family who had been confined to a wheelchair for several years.
“Looking for my wife right in my face…do you think that’s an appropriate thing to do?” Marcelo asked with
a sneer.
“Your wife is…” Howard couldn’t complete the sentence He was too taken aback by surprise and disbelief that he almost felt he was dreaming.
