All Chapters of Falling For Mr King: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

“Theodore. Hello. How good to see you.” She said in a chirpy voice that sounded off even to her ears.“Marie, my dear. It's been a minute. How are you?” Theodore asked in the same cheerful, fatherly voice he had always used with her.“Great. Were you heading out?” Marie asked“I skipped breakfast. I was heading out for an early lunch, my dear. Gotta maintain the one great pack.” He said, chuckling while tapping his belly. Marie laughed along.“Oh. Okay.”“ Do you want to come along? I much prefer a little cafe around the corner. It's quiet this time of the day.” Theodore offered.“Yes please.” Marie said, texting Steven she'd be taking her lunch break early. Poor Theodore. The man had no idea that he was being investigated her by his company and was probably at the risk of being dismissed if she didn't find out the truth fast enough.Okay. Please, I'd like a sandwich. Rick wants grilled cheese, BTW.Theodore noticed her smiling at her phone and said,“I assume that was Steven?”“Yes,

Steven cackled as Marie's frantic voice trailed him.“Steven, do not look at my phone. Give it here. And, stop making me chase you!”“If you want it, come and get it, baby.” He said, waving it in the air and laughing when she failed to catch up with him.She stopped, panting as she ducked her head between her laps.“Babe. You're so unfit. You're joining me to exercise henceforth.”“You’ll have to tie and gag me to ever see me in that room of doom.” She said, snatching her phone out of his arm.“ Room of doom? How dramatic you are, my lady.”“It's true, though.”His arms slid down to her waist as he drew her into an embrace.How on earth had her ever thought he’d be able to live without this closeness between them?“What?” She asked, her jutted lips tempting him sorely. He knew they had to get to dinner but what he really wanted to taste first was the sweetness of her lips.“Steven,” She half grumbled before melting in his arms. Reluctantly, Steven pulled his mouth away from hers and s

“How can you not know?” Marie said, her voice rising several decibels higher.Was he really serious about not knowing what he had done to get her angry? Were men so clueless?“I don't. Was it something I did today? Marie, I’m struggling here. Help me. I hadn't even seen you before I went out today.” He said in a sincere tone.Maybe she was being irrational. It wasn't like they were actually married. Sometimes, she got carried away and let herself have expectations of him that weren't practical.Steven stood and came towards her.“Marie, don't spiral. Talk to me.” He said.“Nevermind, I’m fine. Sorry I bothered you. I’m not mad anymore.” She said and made to turn to the door when Steven pulled her back and plastered his head on each side of her head.“Let me go.”“Come on, Marie. Please.” He said, pleading with his hands and eyes.“I mean it, Steven. You didn't do anything wrong, I overreacted like I always do and I'd like to just forget that happened.”“Marie, please.” He said, cuppin

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Steven.” Marie said, turning her face away from him as she crossed her arms on her chest.“Are you sure about that, babe?” He asked, swinging her around to face him.“Whoever told you anything was lying. I’m not hiding anything.”“If anything important ever depends on your ability to lie, don’t do it.” He mumbled against her hair before pulling back to hold her face in his hand. Still, she refused to meet his gaze. He decided to put her out of her misery.“No one’s ever tried to take care of me the way you do, Marie. I Can’t think of anyone who’d care about making me happy as you do.”“Steven…”“Shhhhh…I’m talking about my wife.” He said, stroking her hair as she exhaled and melted into his arms.“I mean it, Marie. The only people who’ve done as much as you have for me are people I paid to do so.” He tilted her chin softly until she was forced to raise her shimmering emerald eyes to meet his.“My contact at the awarding body told me someone h

Stunned, Marie looked across the room and stared at Steven whose eyes were glued to the woman. Perhaps, sending that she wasn't alone, the woman yanked the towel off her head and let out a heart-stopping scream. Startled, Marie screamed as well and held onto Steven.She grabbed the bathroom on the bed beside her and threw it on. Marie yanked her hand away from Steven and glared at him.Could he be more obvious? How could he even be hawking at someone else while she was standing beside him.“Who are you?” The woman asked once all of them had calmed down.“Who are you and what are you doing in our room?” Marie asked in a much harsher tone than she intended. She threw a scalding look at Steven. This was all his fault. The animosity she felt towards this strange woman had everything to do with how her husband had been unable to take his eyes off her perfect body. While Marie packed more cellulite than she was happy about, this woman was all gorgeous skin and curves in the right places.“T
