Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 108 Weak little woman

Damian, who had been looked after by his older buddies since childhood, had never felt such intense pressure from Marcelo, the most reserved among them. For a moment,his mind went blank.

“My gut tells me there’s something wrong.“After thinking for a while, Damian added, “It felt odd when you asked me to go with you to see Renee on my mom’s birthday.”

Marcelo let out a soft chuckle, picking up his glass to drink.

Damian took a sip too. “And that day you left, I noticed Renee wasn’t wearing the hairpin I gave her.”

Marcelo’s gaze lifted to Damian.

After drinking, Marcelo’s eyes became deep and bright, as if he could see through people’s hearts. “Did you start doubting Renee because of something I did?” Damian nervously licked his lips.

Licking one’s lips is often a sign of anxiety.

“You’re missing a detail.“Marcelo’s, tapping his fingers on the table, said, “You had a meal with Renee last night.”

Marcelo’s statement aligned with Damian’s suspicions.

Damian sighed. “Marcelo, last night… It was just a casual hangout with her. You know, a friendly gathering. I don’t have any romantic feelings for her, especially since she’s your wife. My mom already told me that.”

Marcelo sneered inwardly. To make time for a casual meeting with Damian, Renee had turned down going to the party with him. Staring at Damian, who sat across from him with his head down, Marcelo asked, “Does it bother you that we’re married?”

“Not at all.” Damian picked up another glass of wine and gulped it down. He was stopped by Marcelo when he picked up another glass of wine.

Marcelo handed him a bottle of stronger wine, saying, “This one hits faster.”

Damian took the bottle and downed a few mouthfuls of wine.

As the alcohol took effect, Damian’s gaze at Marcelo changed.

“Marcelo, you might not know but back then,half the guys in our class had a thing for Renee, but I…” Damian pointed at himself and said with a hint of pride, “I was in the other half. But…”

He hesitated, then added less confidently, “There were still plenty who secretly admired Renee in that half.”

Marcelo was aware that he should not be concerned about that.

It was common for attractive, smart girls to be popular in their high school days.

He also knew of Renee’s reputation as a top socialite.

However, hearing these things from Damian made Marcelo feel somehow frustrated.

“A bunch of upperclassmen and underclassmen chased after Renee too.“Damian’s voice dropped to a hush, as though sharing a secret, saying, “Guess what, in our group, the Shawn family’s younger son and the Lee families‘ sons secretly fancy Renee.”

Marcelo inquired, “You are saying both Lee families‘ sons like Renee?”

Two Nolan families from the city had made it into the top ranks of the wealthy elite.

Damian nodded. “Yeah, both sons.”
