Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 118

Ch. 118 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Velma would do something crazy if she saw that Malcolm was with Marilyn.

Malcolm looked at his hand that was clenched by Marilyn and smiled happily.

"Malcolm, I will take you to bask in the sun. It is very warm today. Look at you. You are depressed all day. You will be in a good mood when you get warmth from the sun."

Malcolm suddenly recalled that little girl who pulled him to the roof.

Even if he didn't want that, she still pulled him to the roof.

When they reached the alley, Marilyn stopped. She saw Velma leave angrily.

Only then did she realize that she had unconsciously grabbed Malcolm's hand.

She blushed and immediately let go of Malcolm's hand. She explained with a red face, "Mr. Lowe, I was too anxious just now. Sorry for that."

Malcolm looked at her blushing little face and smiled meaningfully. "Lynn, are you into me? Otherwise, why would you subconsciously hold my hand?"

Dominic was stunned.

Sure enough, Malcolm wanted to snatch his mother from him.

Marilyn was speechless.

She felt a little flustered. She thought that Malcolm must be mad!

"Interesting..." She couldn't help but laugh. "Malcolm, have you always been so confident? Are all the women around you interested in you? But I'm afraid you're wrong. I'm not."

Malcolm looked at her angry little face and put on a beautiful gentle smile. He lowered his head slightly and his lips were next to her ear. His pleasant and low voice was full of temptation. "Lynn, are you sure?"

Marilyn glared at him.

"You arrogant man! Dominic, let's go!"

But just as she moved, Malcolm suddenly stretched out his long arm and pressed it against the wall, blocking her way. His deep eyes stared at her deeply.

Marilyn quickly took a step back and looked at Malcolm cautiously.

Dominic frowned unhappily, "Malcolm, are you trying to bully my mother?" His tender tone carried a strong threat.

Malcolm's expression changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand. He lowered his head and smiled at Dominic, "Dominic, no. I just think that your mother and I are very compatible."

"Compatible..." Marilyn looked him up and down, her eyes full of disdain.

"Malcolm, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and leave. I'm hungry." Marilyn said unhappily and pulled Dominic out of the alley.

Malcolm smiled and followed her. He looked at the hand that she just held. He could still feel a faint warmth from her hand.

Looking at the slender and tall girl in front of him, he smiled. His girl had really grown up into a beautiful lady, as beautiful and adorable as the one he had imagined.

Unfortunately, they had missed out on eighteen years.

How good would it be if they hadn't?

Velma had already driven away when the three walked out of the alley.

They came to the barbecue stall. Denise was there to offer some help. When she saw Marilyn, she smiled happily.

"Lynn, what are you doing here?" she asked with a smile. Her slapped face was still suffused with a faint red, and it was obviously swollen.

Marilyn narrowed her eyes. Velma was really ruthless!

"I wanted to eat your barbecue. This is Dominic, my eldest son." Marilyn pulled Dominic to take a step forward.

"Dominic, come here and say hello!"

"Hello, Miss Warren!" Dominic greeted politely.

"Hello, Dominic!" Denise looked at Dominic's handsome face with envy.

"Dominic, you are so good-looking!" In a flash, she was looking forward to giving birth to her baby.

She regretted it so much when having that stupid idea at that time. Fortunately, her baby was fine, or she would never forgive herself.

"Thank you, Miss Warren!" Dominic smiled faintly. He would be polite and gentle in the face of his mother's friends.

Denise took a closer look at him and suddenly felt that he was a little familiar. She looked at Marilyn and asked, "Marilyn, why do I feel that Dominic is a little familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere before." Denise looked at Dominic thoughtfully.

Marilyn smiled. "Denise, my second son is called Arturo Chapman, a child star. He is now in Goldmere."

"Oh, that's it! I often see him on TV, on bus stop billboards, and even on big screens in malls. He is a handsome boy. In the past six months, he has earned a lot of admiration. He won the first in the piano competition some time ago. The song he performed was rather moving." Denise said in surprise, but her gaze was still on Dominic's handsome little face.

Although no one paid attention to Malcolm, he was very happy to hear others praise his son like this.

Marilyn smiled proudly and said, "Arturo has liked the piano since he was a child. He also likes acting. So now he has become a child star."

Denise nodded her head enviously. "He is really a great boy!"

Marilyn smiled proudly when the topic was about her son. "Arturo is filming these days. So he would only come to Fielddell later."

"That's great. When my baby is born, it will have kids to play with."

Denise smiled happily. She really liked the strong Marilyn, who was also the savior of her son and her. She would never forget Marilyn's kindness for the rest of her life.

"Good! In this way, it has companions when it grows up." Marilyn said with a smile. She looked at Denise's red and swollen face, feeling sorry for Denise. She felt that Denise was also a tough girl. After all, she was still smiling after that humiliation.

"Yes! Sit down. I'll ask my mother to prepare her special for you." As Denise said this, she also nodded to Malcolm and greeted him.

Dominic said with a smile, "Miss Warren, please get me a bowl of rice noodles. I heard that rice noodles in Fielddell are particularly delicious. I want to have a try."

He had always known that the rice noodles in Fielddell were famous. So he wanted to try it this time.

"Okay! Dominic, the rice noodles in our stall are also famous. I'll prepare it in a while." As Denise spoke, she let them sit in a better environment and walked into the kitchen.

Malcolm looked at her slender back and frowned slightly. She was actually pregnant with Jacob's child.

But why would Jacob abandon her?

Jacob was a good guy, so he shouldn't have been so ruthless.

When Marilyn looked away, she saw Malcolm's thoughtful expression.

She thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lowe, can you not tell the Remington family about what you saw today?

"Denise committed suicide a few days ago because of this. Now you can see the Remington family coming for her again. I am afraid that she will commit suicide again if they stimulate her."
