Chapter 148

Ch. 148 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

"Lynn, how could you say so? I am yours now. You have to bring me wherever you go." After Malcolm finished speaking, he pointed at his lips.

The wound on his lips and the slight pain it caused proved that he was not dreaming.

Thinking of this, Malcolm couldn't help but smile happily.

"You..." Marilyn was startled by his words.

"Malcolm, have you gone mad? Why do you keep saying silly things? You said you were mine. Do you mean that all your wealth is also mine?" She did not believe that he was so generous.

"Sure, Lynn. If you like it, I'll ask the lawyer to transfer all my property to you. In the future, you will be in charge of the finances of our family." Malcolm said happily.

If Lynn was willing to hold the purse strings, they would only get richer!

Marilyn instantly felt that she was shooting herself in the foot.

"Forget it. You'd better leave that opportunity to others." After Marilyn finished speaking, she looked out of the window. A cool breeze blew, and her beautiful hair fluttered. The sunshine hit her face, making her even more fresh and refined.

Malcolm glanced at her and smiled gently.

He would lure her with tenderness and gentleness, like boiling a frog in warm water.

He didn't want anything else but her.

The two of them didn't say another word on the way back to the company.

Sergio had asked Billie to leave.

When Sergio looked up, he saw the wound on Malcolm's lips.

He could not help but ask, "Malcolm, what's wrong with your mouth?"

When Malcolm heard the question, he glanced at Marilyn, who was beside him and said with a charming voice, "I'm fine. I was bitten by a little cat."

When Marilyn heard this, she instantly lowered her head and turned to leave.

Bastard!

This shameless bastard!

Sergio glanced at Malcolm and asked seriously, "Malcolm, do you think you are going too fast? What if she has a husband?"

Malcolm smiled.

Looking at the sudden change in Sergio's expression, Malcolm instantly felt that he had just made a good decision.

"Sergio, you don't have to worry about this." Malcolm stepped into his office.

The only "husband" Marilyn had was him. He had found out what had happened seven years ago. He knew that Carolyn was Marilyn, and she was the woman who had been with him seven years ago.

Also, Arturo and Dominic were his kids!

He couldn't be happier!

"Thank God for giving me such a miracle."

Malcolm suddenly looked back at Sergio, who was still looking at Malcolm, and said, "Sergio, find someone trustworthy to be Ms. Chapman's assistant."

"Alright!" Sergio nodded.

Then, Sergio turned around and frowned slightly with a heavy heart.

A saying suddenly echoed in his mind, "You'll find out how difficult it is when you try to let it go."

"Malcolm and Marilyn..."

When it was time for lunch, Marilyn directly went to the eleventh floor to find Jeannie and Arturo and then took them to eat.

There were many good restaurants near the company, selling the specialties of Fielddell, and many food bloggers would come over to taste them.

Marilyn heard this from colleagues when she ate in the canteen.

"Jeannie, Arturo, today's shooting ends at five too?" Marilyn asked.

"Yes! We've taken a few looks today. The makeup artists and photographers like Arturo very much. Arturo did a very good job." Jeannie looked at Arturo happily. This little fellow had always been great.

"Arturo, are you tired?" Marilyn held Arturo's little hand.

Arturo shook his head. "Mom, I'm not tired."

He couldn't tell Marilyn that he was tired. In fact, it was indeed quite tiring because he had to change clothes frequently. It was even more tiring during the shooting.

However, no matter how tired he was, he had to work hard, because his mother was also working hard.

He knew that no matter how tired Marilyn was, she would not say it in front of him and Dominic.

Jeannie smiled and said, "Lynn, this kid loves you so much. Even if he is tired, he won't say so in front of you."

Arturo smiled. Jeannie knew him very well.

The three of them walked into the restaurant and they talked.

After getting into the restaurant, Jeannie said, "Lynn, have a seat and take the order first. I need to use the bathroom."

"Alright! We'll sit over there." Marilyn pointed to a seat by the window.

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment!" Jeannie left with a smile.

Marilyn walked over with Arturo, but what made Marilyn curious was that even though it was dinner time, there was no one in the restaurant. Could it be...

Just as Marilyn was thinking about this, she heard Malcolm's voice from behind her.

"Lynn, Arturo!"

Marilyn stopped. Damn it, why was Malcolm here?

She saw Malcolm in his office when she left!

Did she have an illusion?

She curled up her toes in embarrassment.

She did not want to see Malcolm today!

But why would she meet him here?!

Marilyn took a deep breath to ease her emotions. She turned around and put on a smile. "Mr. Lowe, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here for business? If so, we won't disturb you. We'll sit over there."

After Marilyn finished speaking, she pulled Arturo, who was about to greet Malcolm, to the other side.

Malcolm was somewhat annoyed by Marilyn's reaction.

She was trying to avoid him!

Good! Very good!

"Lynn, you will never be able to escape from me!" Malcolm said to himself.

He got up and walked over. If she didn't want to come over, he could go over. Anyway, he was extremely thick-skinned.

"Hello, Malcolm!" Arturo looked at Malcolm who followed them and greeted him.

"Hello, Arturo." Malcolm sat down by Arturo's side.

His gaze was gleaming as he looked seductively at Marilyn. Looking at her rosy red lips, he suddenly remembered the kiss and smiled a bigger smile.

Marilyn bit her lips hard, containing the anger in her heart.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Lowe, you are here for business. We don't want to disturb you."

Malcolm looked at her big eyes and slowly shook his head, "Lynn, I'm not here for business. I'm here to eat. Coincidentally, I met you guys. Let's eat together!" After saying that, Malcolm called the waiter to take an order.
