His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 290

Chapter 290

The usually stoic Lily couldn’t help but chuckle, covering her mouth with her hand.

She thought, “Poor Mr. Jareth, he’s pulling out all the stops for Ms. Marilla. His usual charm doesn’t seem to work on her, so he’s trying a different approach, often with hilarious results.”

Marilla wasn’t trying to show off. She just saw Jareth struggling to hold the bowl and spoon and thought he looked tired. So, she leaned forward, opened her little pink mouth, and took the spoon into her mouth.

Seeing her eat the food he served, Jareth twinkled his narrowed eyes with affection and he couldn’t help but smile.

She ate too quickly and started to cough.

“Slow down, even if you’re hungry, you should eat slowly.”

Jareth gently patted Marilla’s back. He suddenly noticed a trickle of white liquid at the corner of her mouth. His dark eyes narrowed and his handsome face flushed crimson.

It was oatmeal.

How long has it been since he’s indulged himself? Why was it that even seeing oatmeal made him fantasize?

“Jareth, the oatmeal is delicious, I want more, Marilla said in a soft voice, noticing the man seemed lost in thought.

“Sure,” Jareth answered, his voice husky.

At that moment, the hospital room door was pushed open.

“Jareth! You’ve got some nerve!”

Marilla was startled and, in her panic, she threw herself into Jareth’s arms!

Her slender arms held him tightly, making him acutely aware of his importance to the young girl.

“Don’t be scared, it’s just your sister–in–law and your brother coming to pick you up,” Jareth whispered soothingly into her ear,

At that moment, the Abernathys burst into the room.

Seeing the intimate scene, they froze in shock!.

“Jareth! Don’t you dare lay a hand on Marilla!” Evadne was alarmed to see Marilla curled up in Jareth’s arms, her heart pounding. “Huh?”

Jareth hadn’t done anything, but Evadne’s outburst compelled him to hold Marilla tighter.

Evadne exhaled deeply, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

A whole night.

Did Jareth really leave that adorable girl untouched? Even if he wasn’t coveting her, would he stay unmoved?

Believing Jareth would be a gentleman was ridiculous!

Thaddeus‘ face was also stern. He coldly asked, “What happened? Why is Marilla in the hospital?”
