It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 68

Renée arrived in the private room well before the appointed time and waited there quietly. As the minutes passed, she became more and more nervous. She had actually been surprised when she received the call from Enoch. She hadn’t expected Malcolm to accept her invitation, let alone meet her alone. It gave him a glimmer of hope and a pang in his heart.

After a while, Malcolm entered the private room, wearing a white shirt and black dress pants. As usual, the top two buttons of his shirt remained unbuttoned, revealing his firm chest. His eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Renee and sat down across from her. His lips were pressed together, showing no signs of taking the initiative to speak. All of a sudden, Renee was overcome with embarrassment. She had made up a hundred scenarios of their meeting in her head, but she hadn’t expected Malcolm to be cold enough to not even greet her. Feeling upset, she excused herself to go to the bathroom. After putting on makeup in front of the mirror, she suppressed the uneasiness bubbling in her heart and calmly returned to the private room.

This time she made direct eye contact with Malcolm without a trace of fear or anxiety in her eyes. She walked towards him slowly, step by step, then sat on his lap. Without stopping, she threw her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him. But before his lips could touch hers, she was pushed back mercilessly. As she staggered and fell to the ground, her cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

I never show mercy to traitors. You knew that, right? But you still chose to betray me. The only reason I didn’t kill you was because of the relationship we had. After all, I have been satisfied with your performance over these few years. But don’t expect anything from me in the future. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I won’t let you go so easily next time.” Malcolm’s voice

Every scene was like a nightmare that haunted him. Looking straight ahead, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The car’s tires burned along the road, leaving a tail of fire. Then, suddenly, there was the harsh squeal of brakes. With one quick movement, Malcolm

e Lucia fall into deep thought. What she had learned recently was that she shouldn’t have fallen in love so easily. When she fell in love, her emotions and thoughts were easily affected, making her vulnerable. Happiness and sadness would compete mercilessly to occupy his heart. And the worst part was that the person she loved might abandon her completely one day. When that happened, all he would be left with was a big hole in his heart. And for a long time, it seemed like there was nothing she could do to feel better.
