“Welcome to my house!” Renee said with a playful lift of her chin. “If Mr. King doesn’t mind, you’re welcome to stay at my place for the night.”

Marcelo couldn’t suppress a chuckle.

He was well aware of his wife’s financial independence and wealth, but he hadn’t anticipated her owning such a splendid property in such a prime location.

His laughter, a rare and open expression on his usually reserved face, caught Renee off guard. Her heart momentarily raced before she quickly shifted her focus.

She busied herself with arranging the bouquet of red roses in a vase.

Outside, fireworks began to light up the night sky.

The New Year’s fireworks painted the sky in vivid hues, casting a festive glow over the room.

Renee beckoned Marcelo to the balcony, overlooking the bustling crowd in the square below, all admiring the fireworks.

She knew the scene below was a blend of chaos and excitement, a stark contrast to Marcelo preference for solitude.

Lost in the spectacle of the fireworks, Renee was unaware that Marcelo’s gaze was fixed on her.

Her profile, bathed in the fireworks‘ glow, seemed ethereally beautiful. Marcelo, no stranger to admiration for his own looks, saw an unparalleled beauty in Renee.

This woman, seemingly docile, was full of surprises, capable of stirring his heart in unexpected ways.

The events he had found mundane earlier now seemed different, all because of her presence.

Marcelo’s expression suddenly grew serious. “Did you spend New Year’s with Andrew before?”

Renee turned to him, puzzled. “Why would I do that? I’d rather use that time to prepare for my exams.”

Her past engagement to Andrew hadn’t included shared New Year celebrations.

Andrew had his social circle, and she had her studies. She had never wanted to spend her time on him.

Marcelo found some measure of satisfaction in Renee’s response.

Suddenly, Renee leaned forward, her elbow propped up, her chin resting on her hand. Her eyes sparkled slyly as she gazed at Marcelo, reminiscent of a playful fox.

“Marcelo, do you get jealous when Andrew is mentioned?” she asked, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Marcelo, maintaining his stoic demeanor, retorted, “Don’t flatter yourself.”

“Is that so?” Her head tilted, her tone playful yet provocative. “I may not have spent New Year’s with Andrew, but I did spend it with someone else.”

His expression tightened, a hint of danger flickering in his eyes. “Who?”

His posture suggested he was ready to confront whoever it was.

“Why would I tell you if it doesn’t matter to you?” Renee countered.

Marcelo grumbled in displeasure, reaching out to pinch her chin, about to say something.

He paused, visibly caught off guard..
