Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 To fall in love

“Don’t you want to take a shower?“Marcelo asked after they had both calmed down.

His demeanor was unusually patient and calm, a contrast to his usual temperament. He idly played with Renee’s hair, which was naturally sleek and undyed, unlike the heavily styled hair of other socialite women.

Renee blinked, acknowledging her need for a shower, but felt too exhausted to move. She just wanted to sleep.

Marcelo could only see the back of her head, but he seemed to be able to see through her mind. He got out of bed and walked around to her side.

He glanced down at the woman who was sulking and asked. “Would you like to take a shower?” His appearance was impeccable, less aloof than usual, but still carrying an air of abstinence.

Renee, after a brief glance, extended her arms towards him her throat aching and unwilling to speak.

The idea of a shower without having to walk was appealing

Though she initiated the embrace, she pretended to be reluctant.

Marcelo noticed her reaction but kept his amusement hidden. “You seem hesitant.”

Renee, surprised by his comment, stared wide–eyed.

She had already reached out her hands. How could she be unwilling to do that?!

She was starting to lose her temper. Before she could react further, Marcelo picked her up.

“You’re really delicate,” he whispered.

She glared at him, her eyes full of reproach.

Delicate?

In her mind, it was Marcelo’s intense lovemaking that made her feel fragile, not her own constitution.

He seemed to only know how to utter unpleasant remarks.

Upon entering the bathroom, Renee immediately turned away and pushed him out.

Awakening to a newfound sense of independence, she was too shy to let him bathe her.

Her main concern was a lack of trust.

She did not want to engage in any more intimate activities, especially in the bathroom.

After her shower, Renee noticed the bed sheets had been changed.

The color remained the same, but all previous traces were gone.

Marcelo had taken a shower in the adjacent bathroom and was now on the balcony, smoking in his bathrobe.

She lay in bed, feeling exhausted but unable to sleep.

Marcelo didn’t return to his room until the scent of smoke had faded. Noticing Renee playing on her phone, he inquired, “Are you not feeling sleepy?”

Startled, Renee looked at him warily.

Marcelo, observing her reaction, couldn’t help but laugh, finding her demeanor quite endearing.

“I’ll be asleep soon,” She replied, her voice hoarser than before.

He frowned.

Casually glancing around, he noticed the words “find a lawyer” on Renee’s phone screen.

“You’re looking for a lawyer?” he asked.

Renee nodded in confirmation.

“Call Luke tomorrow. He’ll assist you in finding a lawyer, “Marcelo suggested, taking the phone from her hands and placing it on the bedside table. His tone was commanding as he asked, “Do you plan to sleep, or not?”

If she didn’t sleep, he would do something more with her.

Even if she always wanted it but she really felt too sore to have more tonight so It was better than playing on the phone in the middle of the night.

She quickly covered herself with the quilt, leaving only her vigilant eyes exposed.

Marcelo covered her eyes with his hand, hiding the intensity in his own gaze from her.

She probably wasn’t aware that when she gazed at him with earnestness, her eyes sparkled with innocence, often arousing intense desires in him.

“I’m going to confront Alyssa. Are you sure you want to help me?” Renee asked in her raspy voice. Earlier, she had managed to remove the trending topic and traced back the origin of the news.

Alyssa hadn’t concealed her involvement, making the investigation straightforward.

“What’s the deal with Alyssa?” Marcelo responded.

Why wouldn’t he help Renee?

To her, their relationship as husband and wife, and her status as his woman, should have been enough reason for him to support her against Alyssa.

“She paid someone to spread rumors about me and Mr. Moore today. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to suppress the trending topic. She owes me that,” Renee explained, assuming Marcelo was questioning her motives for targeting Alyssa.

Marcelo was almost amused by her words.

“Come on, that’s not much money,” he remarked, smiling.

Renee was quite vindictive.
