My Destined Lover

Marcus leaned back and slowly folded his legs, “I don’t need to tolerate anyone in this city.” Seeing the faces of the people present getting grimmer, Marcus suddenly sat up straight and said briskly, “You don’t want to kneel? That’s fine.”

“Apologize to her.” This time it was Laura who was referring.

Laura was a little surprised, but when she thought that Marcus was helping her, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Okay.” Laura nodded and made things worse, “Give me a ninety-degree bow and say ‘I’m sorry, and I’ll let bygones be bygones.”

“Laura!” Bob was -angry, “She’s your mother!”

“I don’t care who she is.” Marcus suddenly had long face and his voice turned cold, “I just want you to remember that Laura is my fiancee. If you offend her, you offend me!” The words were loud and clear, and for a moment everyone was stunned by him.

“I, I …” Mrs. Taylor stammered. To her, apologizing to Laura was as insulting as kneeling to Marcus! In an unnoticed corner, she secretly glared at Laura, meaning that Laura should take the initiative to end the dilemma. But Laura sat impassively as if she hadn’t seen it.

“Mom.” Seeing the atmosphere getting colder, Lily poked Mrs. Taylor’s arm with some fear. Whispered, “Come on. We can wait until we get home to settle a score.”

Mrs. Taylor gnashed her teeth, knowing that there was no way out, so she had to endure the humiliation. She quickly bent down and said, “I’m sorry.” Without waiting for any reaction from the person across the table, she could not stand the humiliation. Mrs. Taylor quickly took Lily’s hand and turned around to leave.

“Marcus, we suddenly recalled that there is still some business that need to be finished, so we have to go first.” Bob stood in the same place and looked at Laura who was relaxed and calm. In the end, he followed Mrs. Taylor and left.

Laura saw that Mrs. Taylor secretly glared at her at the moment she turned around. Laura didn’t care about the people who walked away. She smiled at Marcus. “Thank you for what just happened.” Although, even without his help, she could have solved this matter by herself.

Marcus said gently, “You’re welcome.”

…

Mrs. Taylor sat in the corner of the car for a few minutes in silence. She thought about it for a long time, but finally peeked up, holding the back of the driver’s seat, and said tentatively, “Bob, this will not affect the cooperation between the two families, right?”

Bob hesitated for a moment and said, “No.”

“That’s fine.” Mrs. Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. After she put her mind at ease, she couldn’t help but talk more, “Bob. next time you work with Marcus, you must remember to put in a good word for our family so that he won’t hold a grudge against us …”

“Mom, don’t worry, I will.” Bob glanced at Mrs. Taylor’s sad face in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but say one more thing, “Mom, don’t be so impulsive in the future. You have to think twice before you act.”

Mrs. Taylor lowered her head, didn’t know what she was thinking, and said “Well, I know.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
