Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit Chapter 20
Hearing her trembling voice, Malcolm, who had always hated women, suddenly felt distressed.His deep gaze fell on the two women who came in. It was Margie and Sandra.As the footsteps of them got closer and closer, Marilyn's body trembled uncontrollably.He frowned slightly and wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his head in her shoulder.He seemed to want to give her more sense of security!In this way, he could prevent Margie and Sandra from recognizing him. He knew how gossipy they were well.The faint scent of Marilyn gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.Sandra and Margie only saw a man and a woman hugging each other when they walked in.Their eyes were filled with disdain at the same time.Only when the footsteps of the two faded did Marilyn quickly step back from Malcolm's embrace.Looking up at him with a pale face, Marilyn tried hard to curl her lips into a forced smile. "Mr. Lowe, thank you for what you did just now!"With his embrace empty, Malcolm felt his hear

Marilyn's smile was less bitter and the hatred in her eyes somehow faded. She said with a wry voice."Roland, I'm fine. I really am. Let's go on looking for a place!""School will start in two months. There isn't much time left for us to settle down on everything related to the kids' schooling."All kinds of documents are required in the relevant procedure. Usually, kids go to school near their places. So, we have to find a place with a school nearby. Though it's more expensive, it will be easier for my mom to pick up the kids.""Alright, as you wish! Let's go then!" Roland said with a smile. He suddenly saw a bubble tea shop at the roadside.Roland glanced at Marilyn and gave her a crafty smile. "Lynn, treat me to a cup of iced bubble tea. What we had just now was too salty.""Sure. Let's go in and take a look." Marilyn's mood gradually lightened.After going into the bubble tea shop, both Roland and Marilyn chose a flavor they liked.There were some stickers of yellow smiling faces

To be honest, Marilyn was quite surprised to see Malcolm here.She assumed that people like him had their own gym equipment at home, so they did not need to exercise outdoors."Yes," Malcolm replied indifferently.Somehow, Malcolm was happy to meet Marilyn here.He was even a little ecstatic. Last night, he had been thinking about how sad and upset Marilyn had been the other day and that Roland had comforted her gently.He felt so jealous that he couldn't sleep for the entire night.What was wrong with him? He only met this woman once!Her sad face made him feel agitated. But when he saw Marilyn this morning, all the negative feelings he had disappeared.He knew where these strange feelings came from.It was highly possible that the woman in front of him was the girl he had been looking for.He had a very strong feeling.Malcolm had a lot going on in his mind, but he maintained an indifferent face. His gaze shifted from her face to the mole on the back of her hand.Carolyn had a mole

When Debbie heard this, her face turned purple with anger.She took a deep look at Marilyn, who was keeping her head down.Debbie wondered whether Malcolm had fallen in love with Marilyn as Velma said. Unconsciously, the way she looked at Marilyn became hostile.She had watched Malcolm grow up and knew clearly that he was very serious about everything!If Carolyn was here, she wouldn't have to arrange for Velma to marry Malcolm.Hugo was a total playboy.Velma would not gain happiness marrying him!However, Carolyn was still missing. "How I hope that one day Lynn will suddenly appear by my side!" Debbie thought.Looking at Malcolm's cold face, Debbie thought for a moment before saying earnestly, "Malcolm, you know that I asked you to marry Velma for a reason. Can you just fulfill my wish?"Malcolm looked down. He knew what Debbie meant. After a while, he looked up at Debbie and smiled. "One day, I will find her and bring her back."It was a short sentence but filled with sadness for t

Malcolm suddenly asked calmly, "What do you plan to do this weekend?"Malcolm wanted to stay with Marilyn, if possible. Looking at her, his mood was inexplicably good.At the same time, Malcolm's heart was also tormented. He was urgently waiting for Julian's message.Malcolm thought, "Julian's work efficiency is getting lower and lower these days."In fact, it was only ten o'clock. Julian had just gotten off the plane not long ago. It was Malcolm who was too anxious.If Julian, who was so busy at the moment, knew what Malcolm was thinking, he would definitely scold Malcolm in his heart.Marilyn thought for a moment and replied, "I want to look for a suitable house for my family to live in. I want to bring them to Fielddell.""Is it because I suddenly transferred you back to the headquarters?" Malcolm suddenly felt a little guilty. His deep gaze swept past Marilyn's smiling and peaceful face.When Marilyn was at work, she looked capable and experienced. She was always natural and calm.

"Mom, I think it's a great idea! So, shall we do that?" Hugo said with an evil smile. His eyes glowed with fierceness.But soon, the glint of fierceness faded out in his eyes once Hugo thought of his defeats with Malcolm for so many years.This time, Hugo felt confident of the result. He must win over Malcolm.Yvonne proudly raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. "I heard Malcolm promoted a girl to be the new design director recently, and he treats her well. Mom met Mrs. Remington and Velma on her way back to the company. Velma told her that they had breakfast together this morning.It's odd. Malcolm always keeps himself away from women. We have to be careful."After that, Hugo was lost in thought.His eyes narrowed into slits, and suddenly, he sneered, "Velma deliberately told you this. She is clearly driving a wedge between Malcolm and us.""Hugo, you are wrong. That girl is smart. She knows we want her to marry Malcolm, so she wants us on her side to hate the new design directo

"Got it. I won't forget you tomorrow morning." Marilyn had run into Malcolm this morning, and Roland wouldn't stop nagging her for the rest of the day.Marilyn's phone suddenly rang.Marilyn checked the caller ID and said, "It's Jeannie.""Hey! Jeannie!"From the other side of the phone came Jeannie's happy laughter. "Lynn, have you gone to bed yet?"Marilyn looked at the screen on the phone and said, "Jeannie, it's only nine o'clock now. I won't sleep so early. Is everything done with the event?""It's done. We were too busy to tell you since we flew to Fielddell early in the morning. Arturo said that he wanted to see you. We'll fly back to Goldmere tomorrow night. I'll send Arturo over now. Send me your address.""Really?" Marilyn shouted excitedly.It was a big surprise to Marilyn that Arturo was in Fielddell."Of course! I was going to take him to the hotel, but all this little heartless guy thinks about is you!" Jeannie's voice was filled with resentment."Well, you can't blame h

Marilyn did not reach out for the card. Instead, she smiled and asked Arturo, "Arturo, tell me, is this all your income, or is Jeannie's money included?"Arturo's card was under Marilyn's name, and Marilyn did not ask for message notifications.Marilyn was very busy. After Jeannie told Marilyn about the bank card, Jeannie helped Arturo to apply for a card.Marilyn didn't expect Arturo to earn so much money, much more than herself.Sometimes, Jeannie would also directly give Marilyn Arturo's money, which was a lot every single time.Jeannie knew that Marilyn was going to buy an apartment in Fielddell.With Marilyn's current financial status, she could afford to cover the down payment.Marilyn wanted to support her family on her own, without the help of Roland and Jeannie.Marilyn had already owed them too much.Arturo slightly raised his pink lips, which given a closer look, had a sense of playfulness. Arturo reached out his little hand and gently placed it on her mother's face. His so

Jacob looked at him doubtfully. That night, he and Dominic met Malcolm in the Lakeside District.Jacob said, "You're asking me who was the legal person from before?"Malcolm said, "Yes, that was what I asked you back then, but Dominic was unwilling to answer this question. Now, can I ask you who is the legal person of that land?"When Jacob heard this, he instantly became nervous. Could it be that they had misjudged this time? Did they believe the wrong person?Malcolm looked at Debbie and his heart ached for her. This time, she seemed to be treated by her friend.Malcolm said faintly, "The person who bought this land is the cousin of Mrs. Remington's friend's husband. The two of them bought this land together, but after buying it, they found that no matter what they built, they would not be able to earn money. Moreover, they invested a lot of money in it, and the bank loan is even more difficult to get. The industry insiders are extremely secretiv

In Marilyn's opinion, the entire real estate industry was lucrative.Edmund smiled and said, "Miss, you might not believe me if I tell you the truth."Marilyn also smiled, "Call me Lynn. 'Miss' makes me feel very uncomfortable, and I want to call you Edmund."Edmund was slightly stunned and replied kindly, "Alright, Lynn."Marilyn said, "Then tell me, Edmund! I will believe whatever you tell me!""Great! Then the truth is that your father cares about the unity of buildings and the surroundings very much. He wants his buildings to be harmonious and comfortable for the residents, the building itself, and the nearby environment.Do you know why there aren't buildings more than ten stories tall along Lakeside District?"It was surprising and fresh for Marilyn. She asked curiously, "Because it will make the whole thing not harmonious and balanced enough?"Edmund answered, "Sort of. It's an open secret for those who are familiar with

Edmund was alienating Debbie and she felt ridiculous. She asked curiously, "Where are you going?"The price of the land Debbie bought was very high, and she regretted buying it. Now she had financing difficulty and she had to find an investor!Debbie thought Bradley was the best investor!Debbie had asked Bradley several times, but he refused to see her. In the past few days, she has been looking for opportunities to meet him.Last time Debbie came to see Malcolm for this, but because she hit Marilyn, Malcolm didn't want to help her.Edmund said indifferently, "Mrs. Remington, it seems unnecessary for us to tell you where we are going. We have things to do. We will leave first."Then Edmund looked at Marilyn gently.Marilyn nodded and got in the car.Edmund returned to the driver's seat. Just as he was about to get in the car, Debbie said with a sad expression, "Mr. Dempsey, can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Greer? I

Marilyn looked at Velma coldly. Her eyes were pure and calm. "Why should I tell you? It's not your business. Get out of my way!""Marilyn, I won't let you go!" Velma looked at Marilyn and said stubbornly."What the hell do you want?" Marilyn said impatiently.Velma looked at Marilyn suspiciously and said, "Marilyn, you are allergic to mangoes and spinach, aren't you?"Velma had always suspected that she made a mistake, but she did not know what was wrong with it.Two paternity tests showed that Marilyn was not Debbie's daughter, but Velma still suspected Marilyn.Malcolm's attitude was abnormal, so Velma was even more confused.When Marilyn heard this, she thought of Velma's paternity test. She asked, "Why do you want to know about this?""You don't need to know why. You just have to answer my question." Velma looked at Marilyn arrogantly.Marilyn glanced at her and did not speak.Marilyn thought, 'Is Velma doubti

Roland said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Greer. I toast this glass of wine to you!"The two of them clinked glasses happily and drank the wine in one gulp.Elvira looked at the two of them and smiled. She didn't ask about Margie. She was worried that if asked, Marilyn would have no appetite. She always eats like a bird.Elvira wanted to ask her after dinner.After one glass of wine, Roland picked up the wine bottle again and poured two full glasses of wine.Marilyn saw it and said, "Roland, are you trying to get my father drunk? Drinking is harmful to the body. Besides, you have work tomorrow."Bradley laughed. "Don't worry, Lynn. Dad has a high tolerance for alcohol. I'm so happy tonight. Let's drink some more!"Roland also said, "Lynn, you don't have to worry about me. I also have a high tolerance for alcohol. You knew that. Moreover, I am delighted tonight. I must drink a few more glasses!"Roland said, raising his glass and cli

Denise, who was at the side, said, "Lynn, Elvira, Dominic, you haven't had dinner yet. Have dinner first!"Hearing this, Marilyn looked at her and smiled, "Denise, I feel hungry now that you reminded me. But let's wait a little longer. Dad should be back soon.""Alright!" Denise also looked at her and smiled warmly.Marilyn could not help but smile a lot more sweetly!She said, "Denise, you have been tired all day. Go get some rest!"Denise shook her head and said, "Lynn, I'm not tired. Now I have some people to help me, I will have a lot of spare time. I can also be at ease and come back early!"Marilyn asked, "Business must be good, right?"Denise smiled and said, "Lynn, this is all thanks to your family. That position is good and business is good!"She had business to do and earned a lot every day, so she felt lovely!Now she only hoped that the baby in her belly could grow up healthily!Marilyn smiled.

"Malcolm, are you kidding?" Sergio looked at Malcolm in disbelief.Malcolm frowned and glared at Sergio. He thought it seemed to be wrong to tell Sergio these things."If you don't believe me, you can leave now!"With that, Malcolm sipped beer.Sergio became serious. He knew Malcolm would never joke about that.Sergio lowered his head and looked at the beer on the table. He then also picked up a glass of beer. He drank half of it. The alcohol cleared his mind.After finishing a glass of beer, Sergio had one more.He smiled at Malcolm. "Congratulations, Malcolm!"Malcolm held the beer in his hand and leaned against the sofa. He looked at Sergio with a smile. "Thank you!"Sergio said, "I know you will never lie to me!"Malcolm said, "Of course, my friend!"They smiled at each other and drank another mouthful of beer.The lights shone on their faces, making them look more handsome.Sometimes alco

"I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it tomorrow." With that, Malcolm walked towards the refrigerator.Malcolm took out a few cans of beer, placed them on the table, and looked at Sergio.Malcolm said, "I want to drink more! Let's go!"Sergio glanced at the beer on the table and shook his head. "That's enough for me!""Then let's talk!" Malcolm sat next to Sergio.Malcolm didn't like alcohol. These beers were bought by Julian.Julian had bought them in case visitors like himself wanted to have a drink."About what?" Sergio looked at Malcolm calmly.Neither of them was talkative. It was hard for them to start a conversation.Malcolm thought for a moment and said, "Sergio, I love Lynn very much. I'll prove it with actions."The look in Sergio's eyes changed. Sergio quietly stared at Malcolm without saying anything.Malcolm continued, "I will marry her!""I know," Sergio replied faintly with his head lowered to hide his expression. He felt a mixture of emotions."So, these few days y

Marilyn clenched the steering wheel.Speaking of Malcolm, she remembered something else.After this matter about Margie was over, she would investigate it in person. She wouldn't stop until she figured it out.She did not get any useful information from Margie. At this moment, even if she was unwilling to give up, there was no other way.After Margie's matter was over, she would continue her investigation.If there was a chance, she would meet Margie.She would feel better making it clear.Since Marilyn did not answer her, Laverne felt bored. She hugged her knees with both hands and leaned against the car seat, looking at the traffic stream in front of her."Mom, why aren't you talking? Don't you like Malcolm?" Laverne could not help but ask again.Marilyn smiled. "Laverne, there are many kinds of love. Which kind do you want mommy to have for Malcolm?"When Laverne heard this, she showed interest with a smile on
