A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 800 I Am Now A Pregnant Woman

Sylvie Mccarthy stopped for a while, shook her head, and smiled. "I got it! Roger that!"

After the meal, he tidied up everything, looked for a pair of slippers for her, considerately he took an entire bag of snacks and drinks.

"Let’s go, we’re heading back to the office!" said Marley Hughes while holding her hand, he later opened the car door and helped her into the car.

After waiting for him to enter the car, she tilted her head to look at him and asked, "You still need me to accompany you to work, does that mean that I still need to work too? My leave is not over yet!"

"If you’re bored, you can read the documents with me, I will teach you some other stuff, right inside my office!" Said Marley as he held the steering wheel with both of his hands and accelerated.

The car safely left the garage and drove towards other villas just around the corner.

At the office, Marley entered the building while holding her wrist.

Before then everyone was confused about Sylvie’s resignation, but when they saw the president enter the office holding hands with his wife, immediately they understood everything. Everything said in the newspaper was not true!

In the lobby.

Right on the couch of the reception room on the lower floor, sat an idle man, greeting them from a distance, "Good morning, my cousin and sister-in-law!" said Ernie Hughes.

Ernie was casually dressed while crossing his long legs. He had a pair of bright eyes, even though he wasn’t looking at anyone, he still seemed to be giving eye contact to everyone. With a lazy look, slack attitude, and a slight sense of prestige, he was waiting for them!

Sylvie was confused for a while, her hands were stiff.

Marley sensed that she was feeling uneasy, deep down he still knew that Ernie was somehow affecting her, he then gently grabbed her hand and greeted Ernie calmly, "Good morning!"

Marley walked with Sylvie into the elevator, Ernie also followed in.

The elevator rose quite fast, Ernie gave her a dazzling smile that seemed to mean something and said, "Sister-in-law, you seemed to look better and better, did something good happen to you? Why don’t you share it with me so I can be happy too? "

"You should just carry on with your work," Sylvie calmly replied.

She was still afraid after being forcefully kissed by him last time, ‘What did he still want?’ she thought.

Without any consideration, Ernie said, "Dear cousin, we seemed to have not had a meal together before, do you want to have lunch together this afternoon? The treat is on me, I don’t know whether the both of you are willing to join or not?"

"No need, we are quite busy," said Marley coldly without waiting for her to reply.

Ernie laughed cunningly, obviously not willing to give in, and said, "Is that so? Shall I just order delivery instead? You can have it in the office, you still need to eat no matter how busy you are, don't you?"

Marley grabbed her by her waist and said coldly, "We are heading back home this morning, we don’t have time for lunch!"

"Seems like the both of you are not willing to come, huh!" said Ernie.

"Let’s just have lunch with him," she suddenly said.

Marley looked at her in shock.

Sylvie kindly looked at him and said, "Lunch is on Ernie anyways, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t go? "

Marley admitted that he was being selfish, he didn’t want to have lunch with a person like his cousin, especially when his wife was along with him, no man would want to be on the same table as the man who spies on his wife!

Ernie was a little disappointed when she said so, there was loneliness in his eyes "Are you scared, Marley?" he said.

"Quit the aggressive method, those are useless against me" Marley calmly replied. "Since Sylvie is okay with it, so am I!" he said.

He recalled when he had met Jemima Wallace yesterday, Marley was calm as well, probably, he might be able to find out the truth in no time if he continued to remain quiet, he was not someone who could be trampled on easily.

"So that’s it, JR Hotel at noon!" said Ernie. Marley took a look at her once more as if he was asking her whether she was sure about this.

Despite this, she only cuddled in his arms without looking at him.

Marley gently took her by her waist, allowing her to lean against him, they were close to each other, he then lowered his head to look at her and asked softly, "Is it okay to be at JR Hotel?"

"Yeah!" she nodded in approval, just like an obedient wife.

The two exchanged looks in admiration, Ernie felt lonely after seeing them and self-deprecated.

"If you two want to be mushy with each other, please don’t do it in front of me!"

"No one asked you to follow us upstairs!" Marley mumbled, blaming him for interrupting the couple’s privacy.

"The lift is a public space!" said Ernie in a playful manner as he moved his attention towards her.

She saw him when she raised her head, in his eyes, there was an only coldness, but there was always this smile that’s hanging on his face, at one moment she was so confused about why she felt so troubled when he looked at her, it felt like an accuse or she was wronged, looking at her like a woman who had betrayed him, she knew there was nothing between her and him, they were only cousins, friends to be precise. She then thought of his domineering kiss, ‘What is your motive, Ernie Hughes?’ She thought.

Soon, the elevator reached the bottom floor, Ernie left while saying, "See you later!"

He then left the elevator after saying so. Sylvie didn’t know why she felt a sense of loneliness at his back when she saw him leave!

Marley shut the elevator door and soon it rose to the floor where the president’s office was, he then held her into the president’s office, Cox and Hill surprisingly greeted Sylvie but she was led into the president’s office by Marley, only then he asked her, "Why did you agree to his lunch invitation? Do you know what he is up to? You silly girl!"

Sylvie startled and said, "Which is why I need to find out what he is up to!"

"Honey, we don’t need to bother anything about him, just stay away from him in the future!" Marley had no choice but to be more aware of Ernie after a few incidents.

Seeing him being so afraid, she joked, "He is such an unpredictable person, sometimes I find him to be dangerous yet sometimes I feel like he won’t do anything out of the line, it’s contradictable!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Do not think about him!" Marley announced overbearingly.

Looking at his upturned face, she found herself to be attracted by him, even more, every day, just like his charm was growing stronger each day.

"Are you jealous of him?" said Sylvie as she smiled.

Indeed, his face slightly reddened after she said so.

She kept on asking, "Would the president be jealous as well?"

"Yes I am jealous, I’m insanely jealous, do not pay attention to him, you are mine!" said Marley in arrogance, he then gently held her in his arms as if he had frightened her and said, "You can only be mine!"

"I’m keeping an eye on him because of you, I’m afraid that he would do something bad to you! However he did help me a lot, to be honest, I’m grateful to him! But I know that I am your wife now, I am aware of my doings, please believe in me! I have my principles!"

Probably because he heard her assurance, he smiled slightly, his eyes brightened and his clean smile could be found in her eyes. She returned him with a gentle smile.

The warmth of sunshine came through the window, warming the room.

Within the quiet president's office there stood him and her, staring at each other with a gentle smile, as if the only thing left on this earth was each other’s gaze, gentle yet full of sincerity.

"Alright I’ll help you rearrange these documents," she said.

"Be careful, don’t make yourself exhausted!" Marley calmly said as he held her waist and moved his head down to kiss her lips, charmingly he said to her, "Sylvie Mccarthy, you belong to me, Marley

Hughes, Ernie Hughes can never get you no matter what he thinks, you can only be mine! Keep in mind that we already have a baby, be careful!"

"I got it, got to work! Who said that we need to be mindful in public?" She remembered that he used to be strict and demanding, it was frightening!

"It only took a few months for you to change completely, huh," she said.

Marley gently smiled, yes, everything changed, even himself, he could only set her free after hearing her chatter about him. She then quickly helped him tidy up the documents on the table, staying away from the area surrounded by his breath.

Marley pursed his lips and then had a faint smile, it seemed that he was right bringing her to work!

He would be worried if he left her at home, she would definitely be thinking about unnecessary things.

He then took a seat on the executive chair, she opened the documents for him as usual, took her by her hand, and pulled her towards the sofa.

"What is it?"

"Take a rest! Sit here, read for a while, I’ll accompany you once I’m done!" He seemed to be giving irresistible orders.

She stopped struggling, in the meantime, the doubts within her started to expand. Afterward, he handed a stack of books to her.

"What is this?"

"You’ll get it after you see it!" He smiled.

"I’ll give you the whole day to read and memorize it! Would that be too tiring for you?"Marley sounded like he was negotiating with her.

"Why should I read this? " she asked back.

He smiled, walked towards her, and stared into her meticulous face. Just when he at her smooth breasts, he gasped, ‘Too bad, have to be on abstinence because she is pregnant!’ He thought to himself.

"I need you to fully understand Hughes Group so that you can sort out plans for me in the future! "said Marley in a deep voice.

"But I’m pregnant now! I need rest" She was looking forward to being lazy for a while.

He pinched her lower jaw and said, "I know, but if you don’t find something to do, I’m worried that you would find it hard, you’ll get bored soon, going through documents isn’t physically exhausting, besides it's good for the baby as well! You can think of it as prenatal education, isn’t it good if the child is good at making money once he’s born? "

"Marley Hughes, you’re a lunatic!" she found it funny. ‘What parents would teach their child in such a way?’

"I am! I’m willing to go insane for you!" Marley smiled as he shook his head, "Look! I’ll go settle some files!"

Meanwhile, the sound of door-knocking pierced the air, immediately he calmed down his emotions, from the outside he seemed cold, "Enter!" he said in a deep voice. The door was being pushed open and Cox entered, she was solemn at first but she still blinked and smiled when she saw Sylvie. Sylvie also smiled back at her.

She was holding the materials in her hand. "President, the materials required for the meeting as you ordered yesterday, everything is ready for the 9 o’clock meeting, the representative of LY group will be arriving at 10 o’clock to discuss the money problem!"

"Okay! Just leave it there," said Marley as he sits down back to his chair without expressing any emotions, "Prepare for meeting, gathering all departments!"

"Yes sir!"
