Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 143 Strange scent

Marcelo pulled up to the main building in his car. He glanced upwards, noticing the master bedroom first.

The room was dark.

Could it be that Renee hadn’t returned yet?

“Is Renee home?” As soon as Marcelo walked into the house, he asked the servant a question.

“Mrs. King is already in her room for a while,” the servant replied.

Marcelo swung the master bedroom door open, and in the soft moonlight, he noticed her in the center of the bed. It moved almost imperceptibly, synchronized with Renee’s quiet breaths.

A frown crept onto Marcelo’s face.

Renee hadn’t left a light on for him.

This marked the first occasion since their marriage that she had gone to bed early, yet she didn’t leave any lights on for him.

Usually, if he was not in the room, a floor lamp would be lit.

Though unspoken, this small gesture always brought joy to Marcelo, as if Ellie was waiting for him.

But her unusual behavior tonight stirred a sense of unease in him.

However, this feeling disappeared in an instant.Maybe she forgot.

Marcelo silently made his way to the bathroom, carrying his night robe with him.

He was unaware that the woman in the bed had opened her eyes as soon as he closed the door.

With a stoic expression,Renee gazed out of the window at the sliver of a crescent moon.
