His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

After being played by the Marquez brothers for three days, Lilyana Fitzgerald arrived at the Marquez family with bruises all over her body.

“Sir Marquez, Madam Marquez, I have made my decision. My chosen partner for marriage is Mr. Graham Marquez.”

Kiara Marquez was very surprised and exclaimed, “Lilyana, did you make a mistake? Graham is the uncle of those three boys!”

Lilyana had no idea either, but she had no other choice.

She clenched her dress hem, forced a faint smile, and gathered the courage to explain, “Madam Marquez, the alliance between Fitzgerald and Marquez families does not necessarily have to be chosen among the three siblings, Branden, Braxton, and Deven, right?”

“They don’t like me, and I don’t want to force them anymore, Madam Marquez. Please, please help

me ask Mr. Graham if he is willing to marry

me!”

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with pleading.

Kiara noticed her expression and let out a deep sigh.

After exchanging a glance with Lennon Marquez, she slowly said, “Graham is currently on a business trip abroad. I call and ask him. Don’t worry, my dear.”

Lilyana felt anxious and uneasy.

As she heard the sound of the phone dialing, she felt heart racing.

“Mother?”

After the call was connected, Graham’s distant and calm voice came through.

After Kiara briefly explained the situation, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

In the few seconds of waiting, Lilyana suffered in her heart, her mind went blank, and she could hardly hear what was being said on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, Kiara smiled gently and nodded.

“Graham agreed. So, let’s quickly set a wedding date for our two families and get married soon.”

Lilyana’s heart shook greatly, and after a moment, a smile appeared on her face as she nodded
