Chapter 72 Acting childish

“I just want to get to know you.” The young man observed Renee’s ringless fingers and remarked, “Since you aren’t married, I see no reason why I don’t have a chance with you.”

“Will you fuck off or not?” Marcelo’s gaze turned cold. He tightened his hold around Renee’s waist.

It was a display of possessiveness.

“Hey! How can you speak like that? Do you know who I am?

“Mister, you’re trying to woo me in front of my husband. And you expect him to be polite?” Renee was left speechless.

The man was stunned. “You… you! You’re married?”

Deciding she had enough of the delusional conversation, Renee grabbed Marcelo’s hand and left.

Marcelo felt an urge to confront the man but hearing “my husband” eased his displeasure. It wasn’t until Renee pulled him away that he regained composure.

“Mrs. King, quite popular, I see.” His voice remained cold as Renee led the way.

If anyone should have been wearing a mask, it was her.

Spotting the crowded milk tea shop, Renee hastened her steps upon seeing the long queue outside. After a couple of steps, she found herself unable to move further.

Marcelo, nearly six feet and two inches tall, stood immobile with Renee’s hand in his, his expression unreadable.

The bright sun cast a warm glow on him, softening the contours of his face.

She watched him for a moment and somehow felt that Marcelo was having a temper tantrum.

But how could a man in his early thirties behave so childishly?

She chided herself for overthinking.

“Mr. King, your wife’s quite the attraction. Isn’t that a testament to your good taste?” Attempting to soothe him, Renee coaxed, “You should be happy. The woman others want is already yours.”

“Others shouldn’t want you!They should keep their eyes to themselves!”

Despite wearing a tough expression, Marcelo had to admit he was pleased by her words, especially the word ‘yours

‘.

This internet–famous milk tea shop, just opened in this spot, drew a long line within a day. Numerous young people lingered outside, waiting for their orders.

As Renee expected, she calmly joined the end of the queue.
