Chapter 204 The comfort

“You…believe me?”

“I’m sorry.” Marcelo sighed.

He felt remorse for causing her suffering, demonstrating patience as he acknowledged his mistakes.

Marcelo kissed Renee gently, a gesture of comfort rather than passion.

Renee felt a surge of pent–up emotions at that moment, desperate to be released.

She inquired, “What about Light?”

“I’m sorry about that too. And yes, she will be leaving Harvillston.” He acknowledged the extent of

Renee’s distress.

“I’ve read reports about you two at a hospital and a hotel. Were they just for a health check–up and casual conversation under a blanket? There were rumors about Vivian being there for a pregnancy test.” Renee

detailed each incident.

Marcelo was incredulous. He frowned. “Renee, I’ve always been devoted to you. You are the only woman I

am intimate with.”

The term “intimate” brought Renee memories of their shared moments.

Her cheeks flushed. “This is serious!”

“You were the one who doubted me first,” Marcelo snorted.

She was at a loss for words. Why did he shift the blame to her?

“What prompted your visit to the hospital with Vivian? And why did you end up at a hotel?” Renee

inquired.

“She visited someone who was unwell, and I accompanied her to the hotel where she was taking a break

Marcelo reflected briefly, “I’ll bring you to visit the patient tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Renee nodded. Was he concerned that she might doubt him, so he decided that they would visit the patient together as a way of testifying to his words?

At the mention of the pregnancy test, Marcelo involuntarily cast a glance at Renee’s trim midsection. She caught his eye, her body briefly tensing, a movement too rapid for him to perceive.

He insisted on not wearing a condom when they had intimacy the night before.

However, she had taken medication afterward.

“Would you like to have the porridge now?” He presented the porridge to her once again.

Renee shook her head, stating, “I’m not fond of mushroom chicken strip porridge.”

She was aware that the shop no longer offered that porridge, attempting to create a challenge for Marcelo in the hope that he would cease bothering her.

To her surprise, he swiftly returned with the porridge.

Marcelo had discerned her initial motives.

Nevertheless, this playful maneuver failed to incite anger in him.

He lightly tapped her forehead and inquired, “What would you prefer to eat then?”
