Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 278

Ch. 278 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Marilyn watched as he involuntarily held her hand. She wanted to struggle, but he held it even tighter.

Malcolm did not seem to care about Marilyn's struggle.

For Marilyn, he had overbearing possessiveness and love.

After being separated for more than ten years, he felt like they had been separated for a lifetime.

Malcolm was already thirty years old, and Marilyn had returned. He suddenly felt that time passed very quickly.

After so many years of waiting, Marilyn returned in the blink of an eye, and their children had all gone to primary school.

He couldn't help but sigh that life was not that long.

All he had left was to cherish the time.

So, he had never let go of every minute he spent with Marilyn.

The two of them entered the elevator. Marilyn relaxed her hand. She teased, "Malcolm, how dare you treat me so brazenly? Can you sleep at night?"

Malcolm smiled evilly. "I will sleep very well."

After seeing her once, he would sleep more soundly at night.

Step by step, he would bring his wife to find her way home.

In the future, he would overcome all obstacles and let her stay by his side happily.

Marilyn shook her head helplessly. If it were someone else, she would feel angry.

She looked at Malcolm with a serious expression. "Malcolm, I'm very confused by what you've done."

Malcolm knew what she meant.

He looked at her quietly with his dark eyes. "Marilyn, there is nothing to be puzzled about."

After saying that, there was nothing else.

Marilyn felt that chatting with him was very difficult.

Sergio was the same.

The difference was that Sergio was a straightforward man who would say whatever he wanted, and he was not afraid of offending anyone.

As for Malcolm, he was evil and even more difficult to deal with. She would fall into the trap if she was not careful.

She asked faintly, "Malcolm, aren't you going to find a reason for your outrageous behavior? At least explain our two-day relationship?"

At this time, she had the thought of probing.

Malcolm glanced at her and his gaze was indifferent.

Marilyn also looked at him, seeing that his expression was calm as if he had not heard her words.

Marilyn wanted to say something, but the elevator rang.

Malcolm raised his thin lips and said in a low and magnetic voice, "We've arrived."

Without looking at her, he led her out of the elevator.

Marilyn was attracted to the luxurious scene in front of her.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Fielddell Restaurant was a place that they couldn't reach.

This was the most expensive place in Fielddell, and only VIPs could enter.

Even though a meal cost tens of thousands of dollars, their business was still good.

The guests who entered here all enjoyed high-level services.

Every corner of the restaurant was carefully arranged, with light gold colors and bright crystal lights. It was shimmering and romantic.

"Malcolm, this place is more luxurious than people said." Marilyn looked curiously at the noble decoration.

For a woman, what was reflected was a dream-like color, and everything was so beautiful.

Malcolm smiled and asked, "Lynn, if you like it, we can come here often in the future."

Marilyn almost choked on his words.

Malcolm just said it with ease.

She teased, "Malcolm, don't squander even though you are rich. To me, just experiencing it once is enough."

Malcolm was about to speak when he suddenly saw the lobby manager in a black suit. Elliott Griffith walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Lowe, welcome."

Malcolm responded indifferently, "Is everything ready?"

Oscar glanced at Marilyn, who was held by Malcolm. He was slightly surprised. This was the first time that Malcolm had brought a woman here.

A light of surprise flashed through his eyes as he smiled. "Mr. Lowe, everything is ready."

As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture and led the two of them toward the window.

Marilyn knew that this building was very high. Just now, she looked at the floor of the elevator. They were on the 66th floor.

It ranked first among the ten most luxury restaurants in Fielddell.

It was also the most famous luxury restaurant. The exquisitely carved dishes inherited the unique perception of delicious food, which made people enjoy the splendor of delicious food.

The two of them entered the private room by the window. Oscar smiled and left.

Marilyn sat down next to the window. Sitting here, she could see the entire Fielddell and the night scene. In the lights of thousands of houses, cars were shuttling back and forth like a galaxy.

"Wow." Marilyn looked at the beautiful night scenery outside the window in surprise.

Malcolm looked at her and smiled happily. His gaze became even gentler.

"Lynn, do you like it?" He said gently.

Marilyn slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at him with a smile. "Malcolm, everyone should like such beautiful scenery, but I especially like it. From here, I can see an entire Fielddell. It's really beautiful."

Marilyn smiled beautifully and continued to look out of the window at the night scene.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting her soft hair. Her hair was very soft, carrying a faint scent of shampoo.

Malcolm smiled.

He thought, "Lynn, from now on, I will never abandon you. Please stay by my side forever."

He wanted to give the most tender love. No matter how the world changed, in his heart, she would always be the most important one.

At this moment, two waiters pushed the dining cart in.

One of them laughed, "Hello, Mr. Lowe. The dishes are ready."

Malcolm nodded indifferently.

Marilyn turned around and looked at the dining car.

When plates of exquisite giant shrimps were placed on the table, Marilyn's clear eyes instantly lit up.

Malcolm kept looking at her face. Seeing that she was surprised and happy, he felt much better.

Malcolm asked the waiter to leave. He didn't want to be served.

Only Malcolm and Marilyn were left. Marilyn smiled and said, "Malcolm, this is a shrimp feast. There are a total of a dozen flavors, including spicy, steamed, and garlic. They are all my favorites. I've tried so many shrimp, the ones here are too beautiful."

This was especially the case for the frozen shrimp. It was emitting white mist and the fragrance was enticing. It made her feel so hungry.

Malcolm looked at her excited face and said, "Lynn, it's all yours. However, before you eat it, drink some soup first. The iced shrimp is the flavor of clear wine and lemonade. You will like it very much. Moreover, the shrimps chosen here are all pollution-free and full of meat."
