Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Meanwhile, Renee was in bed, restless.

That afternoon in the car, she had taken pleasure in riling Marcelo up.

Yet, their argument did nothing to resolve the issue at hand.

Her mind then wandered to Nana's situation.

Nana had lured her back under the guise of celebrating her birthday, using her birthday wish to coerce her

into helping Catherine. This complication was far from resolved.

From the master bedroom's French windows, she could see into the study.

Lost in thought, Renee noticed the light suddenly go out.

Instinctively, she curled up, feigning sleep.

But she realized; pretending to sleep never fooled Marcelo.

The bedroom door opened softly.

As she expected, Marcelo approached the bed and sat down, asking, "Fancy some milk tea?"

Renee felt bewildered.

Why would he offer that?

Surprised, she opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Marcelo in confusion.

Unaware, the blanket slipped from her shoulders, revealing her see-through nightdress.

He could see her beautiful boobs, his mouth watered as he felt the urge to suck on her nipples. Marcelo's throat tightened visibly, and after a moment, he looked away.

It had been days since he and Renee had sex.

The tension was becoming too much for him.

He struggled to restrain himself.

"Do you want some milk tea?" he asked again.

"No, thank you," Renee responded, puzzled by his unusual offer.
