Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Arnold, Don’t Force Me!
After finishing speaking, Arnold looked at Marcus, who had followed Mark over, and asked, "Boss, is this your child?"
Mark was about to say no without even thinking.
But before he could speak, Marcus’s voice rang out, "Hello, Auntie. I’m Marcus, Daddy’s son!"
Arnold was shocked.
So it was true!
And judging by the look, the boss had already accepted this son.
Seeing Arnold’s changed expression, Mark quickly explained, "No, he’s not..."
Mark’s explanation wasn’t finished before Marcus looked at him pitifully, "Daddy, are you abandoning me again?"
Saying that, Marcus began to cry, "Wah wah..."
Before he had received his daddy’s love, Marcus could stay strong and not cry.
But having just gained his daddy’s love, now being abandoned again was unbearable.
Plus, isn’t it true that crying children get sweets?
To prevent his daddy from disowning him again, even though he’s a man, he decided to cry when necessary.
Watching Marcus cry ’wah wah’ over there, Mark felt utterly helpless and had to speak gently, "Marcus, Daddy won’t abandon you."
Upon hearing Mark’s words, Marcus immediately smiled through his tears, "Great, Daddy isn’t abandoning Marcus."
Mark looked to Arnold beside him, "Let’s go inside. I’ll discuss his situation with you later."
Having said that, Mark opened the door, carrying things in one hand and holding Marcus’s hand as they entered the house.
Then seeing Arnold standing at the door unmoving, Mark turned back to her, "Why are you just standing there? Come in!"
"Oh." Arnold nodded and obediently entered the house.
Mark looked at Arnold and instructed, "You sit for a while. I’ll put Marcus’s things away and make him some food, it won’t take long."
Having said that, Mark started to busy himself.
Arnold sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Marcus stick to Mark as he ran in and out, feeling very complex...
Soon, Mark tidied up the things he had just bought from the mall that belonged to Marcus.
Afterward, Mark entered the kitchen and made scrambled eggs and heated milk for Marcus.
After bringing these items to the dining table, Mark looked at Marcus and instructed, "Eat well here, I have something to discuss with Auntie."
Marcus nodded obediently, "Okay, Daddy."
Mark reached out to ruffle Marcus’s hair, glanced at Arnold sitting in the living room, and called, "Arnold, come, let’s go to the study!"
Having said that, Mark led the way to the study.
Arnold got up from the sofa and followed Mark into the study.
Once Arnold entered the study, Mark, who was waiting by the door, reached out and closed the door.
Then Mark looked at Arnold and explained directly, "That child is from my stand-in during a mission, he’s not mine."
Arnold blushed instantly.
Why is the boss explaining this to her? There’s nothing between her and the boss!
But she could proceed with what she intended to do.
With a flushed face, Arnold looked at Mark, not bringing up the child’s matter at all, and directly said, "Boss, I’m actually here to tell you that my engagement to Ethan Sterling has been finalized, it can’t be changed!"
Finished speaking, Arnold observed Mark’s reaction and continued, "Yesterday, I hastily accepted the boss’s orders without thinking. But last night I thought for a long time, I can’t fulfill the boss’s order."
Mark was taken aback and then asked, "Why? Why can’t it be changed?"
Arnold explained, "The engagement between Ethan Sterling and me has been finalized by my daddy and Uncle Sterling, and it’s been talked about everywhere in the army, so I..."
Before Arnold could finish speaking, Mark decisively spoke, "Arnold, Ethan Sterling is just not suited for you!"
Arnold looked at Mark and asked in a deep voice, "If Ethan Sterling isn’t suited for me, then who is?"
Mark: "..."
Arnold looked at the strong man in front of her, the man who lived in her heart, whom she had loved for ten years.
She looked at his extraordinarily handsome and exquisitely crafted features, his mischievous and charming peach blossom eyes, and stepped forward to question, "If Ethan Sterling isn’t suited, then who is? Hmm? Is it you?"
Before Mark could say anything or even open his mouth, Arnold was staring at him, continuing in one breath, "Boss, if you don’t like me, then why interfere with me? If not you, does it even matter if it’s Ethan Sterling or someone else? I must get married eventually!"
Saying this, Arnold’s mischievous eyes were filled with teardrops.
The tearful look was nothing like the previously handsome, clever Arnold who had served under Mark.
Arnold at this moment was just a small woman, a woman before her beloved, summoning the courage to gamble, yet trying to remain calm and very aggrieved!
Mark looked at the beautiful face close in front of him, at the mischievous, clever eyes watching him with tears, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
How could she be like water, just started talking and already wanted to cry; was this really the Arnold he had known before?
But it was exactly this Arnold, the one he felt he didn’t know, that made him feel very pained, made him involuntarily want to hold her, to comfort her...
Mark looked at the small face closing in on him, "Arnold, don’t force me!"
Arnold suddenly laughed out loud, even the tears in her eyes were laughed out, "So what if I force you? I will force you today! Are you afraid?"
Saying this, Arnold suddenly stood on tiptoe.
With a roar, something exploded in Mark’s heart.
Mark was shocked, looking at the unusually daring Arnold in front of him, was this really the same girl from before...
Arnold’s skin wasn’t thick enough.
Her blush seemed able to boil water, and her heart thumped like thunder.
Today she was going all out, she just wanted to be bold in front of him once.
But it wasn’t enough!
Arnold suppressed her wildly beating heart again, hooking Mark’s neck, looking directly into his eyes, and said word by word, "Boss, honesty is important. Tell me, you’re stopping my engagement to Ethan Sterling, is it because you’ve fallen for me?"
Mark: "..."
