Chapter 11
Marcus came out of the bathroom and saw this scene.
Charlotte’s night dress was accidentally pulled up to the bottom of her thigh. Her legs were fair–skinned and straight, and she even rubbed against the quilt.
Marcus‘ lips suddenly dried up again.
After controlling himself for a long time, Marcus went to bed and lay beside Charlotte.
Charlotte’s sleeping posture was not good. In her sleep, she treated Marcus as a doll. Sometimes she would stick to Marcus‘ face, sometimes she would hug Marcus‘ arms, and she finally put her thigh on Marcus.
Marcus‘ body was tense as he tried to suppress his desire.
He wanted to leave. But as soon as he moved, Charlotte hummed to wake up.
Marcus could only hold on.
But this girl didn’t feel any danger at all and even teased Marcus.

Marcus regarded himself as a cruel person, but he had no way to deal with Charlotte.
He couldn’t bear to see Charlotte sleep uncomfortably, and he couldn’t bear to wake her up. In the end, he had to force himself to endure the evil thoughts of wanting to do dirty things for the whole night. And he had to allow the girl to do all kinds of things.
There were ring sounds. The phone rang for a long time.
Charlotte stretched out her fair–skinned arm from under the quilt and groped around the bedside table.
She closed her eyes and pressed the answer button.
“Hello.” A charming voice showed that she wasn’t fully awake.
There was no sound on the other side of the line.
“Hello? Who is it? Say something.” Charlotte got angry after being woken up.
“Hello, I ain looking for Marcus.” An elegant female voice sounded.
What? Charlotte was stunned.
Looking for Marcus?
Charlotte’s sleepiness suddenly ran away, and she opened her eyes to stare at the cell phone in her hand.
The cell phone was Marcus‘.
And the screen showed that it was Mariah.
What a rare opportunity. Charlotte regarded Mariah as a rival in love.
Mariah was the potential wife that the Gallegos family had prepared for Marcus. She and Marcus were childhood sweethearts. In her last life, she seemed to take good care of Charlotte on the surface. But she often made trouble for Charlotte secretly.
Charlotte looked at the empty room and cleared her throat. “Marcus went to take a shower. When he comes back, I will ask him to call you back.”
“Okay, please tell Marcus that I have something important to talk to him about.” After the shock, Mariah regained her gentle
and intellectual voice.

“Okay.” Charlotte no longer waited for Mariah to speak and hung up the phone.
Charlotte felt good.
She laughed.
Mariah was about to drown in jealousy. Her eyes were red as she threw her cell phone at the wall. The cell phone immediately broke into pieces.
She was dissatisfied with the fact that a woman picked up Marcus‘ cell phone.
She wondered what the two were doing last night.
And she was curious about why they were together early in the morning.
“Go find out who was with Marcus last night,” Mariah said coldly to the guard beside her.
“Yes, Ms. Todd.” The guard bowed slightly and left.
“Are you awake?” Marcus walked out of the bathroom.
“Yes, I feel much better.” Charlotte seemed excited.
“Marcus, I accidentally picked up a call for you just now.” Charlotte was a little guilty this time.
Marcus calmly took his cell phone, looked at the caller ID, and dialed back. “What’s the matter?” His voice was as cold as usual.
Mariah gently reminded, “Marcus, tomorrow is the day we return to our alma mater to give our speech. Do you remember?”
“Yes.” Marcus cherished his words.
“Shall we go together? I’m chatting with your mother. She said you didn’t come back yesterday.” Mariah tried to let Marcus say
the fact.
“Go on your own.”
“Who was the girl who answered your call this morning?” Mariah couldn’t help but ask.
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Marcus frowned and hung up the phone before the other party could say anything.
Marcus turned around and saw Charlotte, who was sitting on the bed with the quilt in her arms like a curious baby. And she looked at Marcus.
“Ms. Todd is not angry, right?” Charlotte frowned slightly and pretended to be worried. “I heard her tone was not very good just now.”
“Who cares?” Marcus said as he buttoned his sleeves.
“Get up and eat. I’ll send you home.”
Charlotte woke up in Marcus‘ bed in the morning and picked up his phone. But he didn’t seem angry, and it looked like a natural thing.
After seeing that Marcus wasn’t angry, Charlotte felt relieved and quickly got out of bed.
“The clothes are in the cabinet. It’s your size.”
Marcus said indifferently before Charlotte entered the bathroom.
“How do you know my size?” The moment the question was asked, Charlotte was embarrassed.

“Go try it.” Marcus didn’t answer Charlotte’s question directly.
“Okay.” Charlotte fled into the bathroom.
While looking at the fleeing girl’s back, Marcus was in a very pleasant mood, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Early in the morning, Jalen was already waiting at the door. Yesterday, Marcus attended Charlotte’s engagement party and gave Jalen a break. In the middle of the night, Jalen received a text from Marcus to inform him to come to Hope Mansion in the morning. He felt a little strange.
“Davion, Marcus still hasn’t come down?” Jalen waited for a long time. It was already past the time Marcus usually went out, but he still hadn’t seen Marcus go downstairs. So he tried to ask the housekeeper.
“Mr. Gallegos came back late last night. Ms. Dennis has a fever again. He must be tired after a long night,” Davion said.
Jalen was stunned. Marcus brought a woman to Hope Mansion. How could Jalen let go of such a big gossip?
Jalen immediately took out his smartphone and dialed Cordell’s number.
There were busy sounds on the smartphone.
It rang several times before being picked up.
“Jalen, you better have something big. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I’ll beat you until your teeth are all over the ground.” Cordell’s exasperated voice rang out.
Jalen curled his lips carelessly.
He didn’t buy Cordell’s threat because he thought that Cordell could only bluff.
“Let me tell you a piece of stunning gossip.” Jalen was extremely excited.
“Get to the point.” Cordell wasn’t in a good mood.
“Marcus hid a woman in his house and took care of her for the whole night yesterday,” Jalen said excitedly.
“I was there yesterday too. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.” Cordell plunged into his pillow to catch up on sleep. “Marcus called Cordell over? For a woman?” Although he wasn’t the first witness, Jalen’s curiosity had been completely aroused.
If someone else brought a woman home, he wouldn’t even bother to give them a look. But this was Marcus, who was obsessed with cleanliness. Marcus would throw away his clothes if someone touched them. But such a person got a woman at home.
Just as Jalen was thinking, Marcus appeared on the stairs, and then Charlotte
te appeared.
What?
Jalen wondered if the two slept in the same bed last night.
After looking closely, he found that it was the daughter of the Dennis family, Charlotte.
“Mr. Gallegos, it’s a bit late today. As your subordinate, I have been waiting for a long time,” Jalen joked.
Although Marcus was domineering and cold, he was sincere to the fellows around him and didn’t mind the jokes that didn’t affect the overall situation.
་་་
Jalen was the second son of the Darley family in Oldburn. He knew Marcus from school. He wasn’t in the mood for family disputes. And he was willing to be Marcus‘ assistant. So Jalen served as both an assistant and a brother.
After ignoring this low–class man, Marcus stepped into the restaurant and looked at Charlotte. “Come here and eat.” Charlotte looked at Jalen and smiled politely.
Although people saw her and Marcus going downstairs together, she didn’t mind. As the saying went, if you didn’t feel
3/4
embarrassed, the ones who felt embarrassed would be others.
Jalen was stunned by Charlotte’s greeting. He laughed embarrassedly and stopped making fun of the two.
The two slowly finished their breakfast.
“Let’s go to the residence of the Dennis family.” Marcus put his coat on his elbow and walked out.
