Chapter 105 Never felt this frustrated

“You’re the only one who makes me beg, Renee.“Marcelo breathed

At last, Renee lifted her head, fixing him with an intense stare.

She inquired, “What were you doing in London?”

Marcelo furrowed his brows, questioning, “Why do you want to know?”

He had informed her that it was work–related.

If it weren’t for urgent matters, he wouldn’t have arranged a private plane to London.

She regarded him with a self–mocking smile.

When he left, he claimed it was for work. However, the headlines featured rumors of him with another woman, and it was that woman who answered his phone.

He never brought up the phone call she made. Was it because he chose not to mention it at all, or did he believe it was inconsequential and didn’t warrant discussion?

Suddenly,Renee didn’t want to dwell on the topic. She took a deep breath and said to him, “Let go of me. I have something for

you.”

She then returned to the master bedroom and retrieved a dark gray cashmere scarf from the cloakroom.

“I have the gift I mentioned earlier for you,” Renee said as she handed the scarf to Marcelo. “It’s large enough to be used as a light blanket for your legs,” she added, puzzled by his decision to feign a leg ailment since she didn’t understand the reason behind it.

His expression softened considerably upon receiving the cashmere scarf.

“Did you design this?” He accepted the scarf, intending to inspect it.

“No,“Renee admitted. “I apologize,Marcelo. Today was my fault. I overstepped. It won’t happen again. I believe I need some time to cool down. I should return to my room and get some sleep.

She turned away and started to leave.

Before she could take two steps forward,he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back. “What’s this supposed to be?” he demanded, holding the scarf up to her face. “A divorce gift?Do you want to leave me,Renee?”

When she stubbornly refused to look at him, he let go of her wrist and took her chin between his fingers, forcing her to meet his eyes.

“I am your husband, Renee. You come in here, hand me a scarf, then declare that you want to sleep in a separate room? What is it that you’re trying to say, exactly?What did I do wrong? Why are you so upset?”

Renee winced from the pressure of his grasp.

“I just don’t want to be in the same room as you, that’s all.” She felt the need to put some distance between them somehow.
