Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 226

Ch. 226 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Marilyn thought for a moment and asked, "Malcolm, didn't you look for her back then?" She seemed to have forgotten to ask the question last night.

Malcolm smiled bitterly and quickly glanced at her. "I did. The Remington family and the Lowe family spent a lot of money and manpower to find Carolyn. I have never given up looking for her!"

Fortunately, she returned to his side safe and sound!

Embarrassed, Marilyn suddenly felt that the air in the car was very still. And she seemed to be sitting in an icehouse.

Marilyn did not dare to look at Malcolm. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at her pale hands. She tightly gripped the wrinkles on her pants.

A dead silence instantly came from the car.

Malcolm felt a little strange and quickly turned to look at Marilyn.

Marilyn happened to look up at him at this time. She gathered her courage and asked, "Malcolm, you love her so much, but you didn't take her out. Instead, you take me out. Aren't you afraid that she will be angry when she finds out?"

Malcolm and she had once lived in loneliness and had experienced the most terrifying coldness in this world.

Seven years ago, even though she lived under the sunshine and looked at this awesome world, she still felt a lingering chill.

When looking back on what he had been through, they found they shared similar experiences!

Malcolm smiled bitterly. "Lynn, I didn't expect your memory to be so bad. Didn't I tell you that she has forgotten me?"

Marilyn suddenly panicked. Pretending to be calm, she asked, "Malcolm, even if she forgets you, will you still look for her?

"What if she forgot the way home? Will you tell her the way home?"

With that, she quietly looked at the side of his face. Then she slightly pursed her lips, revealing a bit of stubbornness, waiting for Malcolm's answer.

At that moment, every second she was waiting for was torture for her.

Malcolm nodded. "Lynn, I will. When the time is right and it is safe, I will take her home.

"Lynn, as you know, the Remington family adopted Velma. This woman always messes around. Just hold on. When I think it is safe, I will take her home. Carolyn and I have been engaged since we were young."

"Engaged?" Marilyn emphasized the word.

"Yes! I have an engagement with her. When she was a child, she always said she wanted to marry me. She's my angel. How can I refuse her?" Malcolm's tone was filled with a strong sense of happiness.

"So, you have been waiting for her all these years? No matter how she changed, you will insist on waiting for her to be your bride?" Marilyn asked again. Her eyes were teary and gradually blurred her vision.

"Yes!" Malcolm nodded without hesitation.

Out of nowhere, Marilyn felt so sweet to hear this.

Marilyn suddenly thought of Debbie's sharp and mean words.

She suddenly lowered her head, stunned.

After a long while, she shook her head slightly. She thought, 'No way. I couldn't be the Carolyn that Malcolm mentioned. Impossible!'

Marilyn thought to herself in pain.

Malcolm parked the car in the parking lot of the scenic area.

He glanced at Marilyn, who had her head lowered, and said in a gentle tone, "Lynn, here it is."

"Oh!" Marilyn raised her head and looked around. The car had already stopped in the parking lot, and she was unaware of it.

She was about to get out of the car when Malcolm suddenly leaned toward her and helped her unbuckle her seat belt.

She instantly smelled a cool and pleasant scent.

Seeing his heart-warming action, Marilyn smiled at him and joked, "Malcolm, you are so sweet. It's just a seat belt, and you even do it personally."

Malcolm hadn't completely sat up, and he was very close to her. He smiled gently and said, "Lynn, I have always been a responsible man. It's just that you haven't seen it. This makes me very sad. However, in this world, I'm only sweet to you."

Marilyn smiled gently.

Malcolm looked at her smile, her beautiful eyes, and her lustrous red lips that gave away silent sexuality.

Malcolm couldn't help but lean forward.

Marilyn didn't see this coming. The smile on her face froze slightly, and when Malcolm's head was about to rub against her forehead, she quickly pushed him away.

Malcolm came back to his senses and looked at her smiling face. Then he blinked at her. There was still an uncontrollable impulse in his eyes as if he was still immersed in the temptation just now.

Marilyn looked at the mixed emotions in his eyes and said in a cold tone, "Malcolm, this is not what we have talked about. This is too much."

Malcolm suddenly came back to his senses and sat up. Malcolm slightly curved his lips. He was already infatuated with her so much.

However, this feeling made him feel especially comfortable, excited, and expectant. He even wanted to make out with her just like what happened seven years ago.

However, he had to take it slow and couldn't be anxious.

Malcolm must not be anxious, otherwise, he would scare Marilyn away again.

He looked at her and smiled evilly. "Lynn, although you're right, I can't help it when I see you. What do you think I should do?"

When Marilyn heard this, she suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. "Malcolm, how do I know what you should do? Let's get out of the car. We've wasted a lot of time today!"

Marilyn said as she opened the car door and got out.

When Malcolm saw this, he smiled helplessly.

He was too impatient!

He also quickly opened the car door and got out.

Seeing that Marilyn had already been in front of him, he curled up his thin lips and revealed a charming smile on his face.

"Lynn, let's go!" He closed the car door and locked it. He subconsciously went to hold her hand and walked towards the scenic area.

The moment Marilyn was held by him, she only raised her head and glanced at him indifferently, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

The two of them walked forward. This was a good day, and the bright sunlight gave people a comfy feeling. When the breeze blew from the sea, it carried a damp smell.

There were a lot of people coming here to hang out, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Marilyn was infected by the surrounding atmosphere. All the unhappiness and conjectures were suppressed at the bottom of her heart.

As for the Guillvonne Group...

It went haywire. Yvonne arrived at the Guillvonne Group at the fastest speed.

When the employees of the Guillvonne Group saw her, they all looked at her in confusion, and some of them whispered.

Now, the matter of Yvonne had spread like wildfire on all platforms on the Internet.
