Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 188

188 Instant heaviness

For the first time, Marvin didn’t find the youngsters, who were about the same age as his cousins, annoying.

The atmosphere turned awkward as the students mischievously jeered at them.

Helpless to the situation, Sarah grabbed Marvin by the wrist and took them out of there. Marvin’s gaze fell on her delicate fingers wrapped around his wrist.

Once bitten, twice shy.

She lacked the courage for a second attempt.

Sarah confessed that she didn’t dislike Marvin at all. In fact, she started to feel a warm connection to him as they spent more time together.
