Mr. Villain's Lovely Wife

Chapter 79

“You were responsible for the upgrades,” Izzy said. She looked at the view of Macau from the deck as she felt Liam approaching from behind. She thought the flight upgrades were simply a part of her perks as a VVIP member. Then the hotel was simply her being lucky. It turns out, it was him.

This means that she wasn’t hallucinating about him too! He might just be on the plane with her! She simply didn’t notice him!

When she didn’t hear an answer, she took a deep breath and focused on the view before them.

The view from the deck was breathtaking. Below them, the city of Macau sparkled like jewels under the evening sky. Neon signs and golden lights from the casinos reflected off the water,ving the horizon an almost otherworldly glow.

Farther out, the iconic Macau Tower stood tall, its spire reaching into the sky like a silent sentinel. The faint hum of life below was muted by the crisp chill in the air, sharp enough to bring color to Izzy’s cheeks.

Izzy glanced at him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Izzy turned back to the view, her hands gripping the railing as she processed his words. He must be talking about Calen and his family.
