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.

Sarah didn’t even notice. She was too focused on escaping their raucous audience.

“Sarah, I haven’t eaten yet,” Marvin said, playing the pity card yet again.

“Then go home and eat. Didn’t Vance hire a five–star chef for you? He lives right next door to your place, doesn’t he?” Sarah didn’t fall for his act.

Sarah found herself involuntarily tightening her fists.

Once bitten, twice shy.

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.
