Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 53

Deidre had hoped to make Mikayla jealous, but she didn’t expect the latter to act as Carlos‘ future wife. She only learned they had set a wedding date when she arrived at the Ludwig mansion carlier. However, Mikayla didn’t know Carlos true sinuation, which made Deidre feel somewhat superior.

“Ladies, dinner is ready, a servant announced and wheeled Natasha away

“I’ll go change my clothes first” Natasha said to Mikayla and Deidre

In the backyard, only Mikayla and Deidre remained.

Mikayla had a breathtakingly beautiful face and smooth skin. Under her white jacket, her skin looked even more luminous, and her bright eyes sparkled like stars. From the moment Deidre saw her, she thought Mikayla was flawlessly beautiful. Every move she made exuded an inherent grace and elegance that couldn’t be imitated.

“Mikayla, how much do you know about Carlos?” Deidre asked

“What are you trying to say?” Mikayla replied.

“No one knows him better than I do. I’ve been with him longer than you can imagine Deidre looked down at Mikayla. “Sure, Salvatore Group might be the richest in Nosa, but compared to the Taillon family in Druobridge, you’re nothing. Only I can help him!”

Mikayla withdrew her gaze. “You and Carlos are the past. You have been with him for so long yet he didn’t accept you but me. She started to walk away, adding in a calm tone. Til try to understand him more in the future.”

Deidre watched her go, her eyes darkening. As they passed each other, she said. “Mikayla, you’re not worthy of him!“:

Jaxon knocked on the study’s door.

“Why are you here?” Hugo asked, clearly displeased. Knowing the poor relationship between the brothers, he had no intention of letting Brantley and Jaxon meet each other. Therefore, when Juliet came over, he didn’t inform Jaxon and Winona. Moreover, he didn’t want Jaxon to know about his ordeal with Brantley.

“Huxley came to me last night,” Jaxon said. Queenie had informed Javon that Hugo had met with Brantley privately and that Brantley brought Juliet to see him today. Queenie also mentioned that Brantley was dating Juliet.

He was reminded of Hugo’s actions when he dated Mikayla before, However, he was curious as to why, after all these years of pursuing Brantley, Juliet had never managed to capture his heart, until now. He didn’t believe that love resided in Brantley’s heart. The latter was much deeper in thought than he was. Of course, when Brantley chose to work in the Municipal Government, they had no conflict of interest, but Hugo’s recent action was unfathomable to him.

“Oh?” Hugo’s interest was piqued.

“Huxley seems unhappy with the position Jorge has given him, and now he’s directly under Mikayla’s department, Jaxon explained.

Hugo motioned for Jaxon to sit. “Jorge is a man of integrity, but what’s that worth? Logan won’t appreciate his efforts, it’ll only make things messier in the end” Hugo sneered “Just keep Huxley content for now. It’s better to let them struggle; we can benefit from their chaos”

“Okay, I know what to do Jaxon agreed,

“How’s Mikayla?” Hugo asked.

“I heard that her assistant, Maxius, went to negotiate with several manufacturers. These are the ones he visited Jaxon handed over a document.

Hugo flipped through it, then paused at a familiar name. “Contact this one. I remember a distant relative of the Lindstrom family works there as a deputy director

“Dad, what do you mean?” Jaxon asked.

“Mikayla can’t stay in the Salvatore Group, Hugo said firmly.

“Be good to Winona. You and Mikayla are done. Winona will be useful to you in the future. Remember, don’t clash with Carlos unless you have to,” Hugo emphasized.

By the time Mikayla got back from the Ludwig mansion, it was already dark. After freshening up, she put on the pajamas she bought yesterday,

applied a face mask, and sat in front of her computer to organize tomorrow’s work before bed.

Seeing it was already II p.m., she yawned, feeling sleepy as she relaxed. Suddenly, her phone rang

“Hello?” She didn’t expect Carlos to call her so late, and her heart fluttered.

“Come outside, came the low voice.

“Huh” For a moment, she couldn’t react.

I’m outside your house, Carlos said.

with a special ringtone.

“Outside? Mikayla quickly pulled open the curtains and saw a black Ford outside with its high beams flashing. After hanging up, she grabbed a coat, threw it over her pajamas, slipped on her slippers, and ran outside, her hair fluttering

Outside the Salvatore manor, Carlos was leaning against the black car under the dim street light, surrounded by a faint glow. Sparse dewdrops glistened on his neat short hair, and a few cigarette butts were scattered on the ground.

Seeing Mikayla approach, her nose red from the cold and her eyes watery like a helpless deer, Carlos felt a slight stiffness in his tall frame. Without hesitation, he walked over, hugged her, and threw his coat over her shoulders. “Get in the car, he said.

Sitting in the car, Mikayla couldn’t tell if it was the car’s heater or the warmth Carlos brought, but the chill she felt as she went downstairs disappeared, and now she was starting to feel warm

“Have you been waiting long?” Seein

Seeing his cold and noble face, Mikayla reached out to touch his face but felt a chill

“A while.” Carlos admitted, pulling her hand away. Originally, he had intended only to take a quick look and leave, knowing how late it was. But when he saw the light in Mikayla’s window still on, he couldn’t resist calling her downstairs, eager to see her and hold her.

You know which room I live in Mikayla asked.

Carlos silently admitted.

“How do you know everything about me?” Mikayla asked, puzzled, Josiah, her driver, seemed indifferent and unlikely to share details. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Tl explain in the future, Carlos replied. He couldn’t help but admire Mikayla. She was in pink flannel pajamas, with the coat she hastily draped over herself and the one he had given her. Her makeup– free face, delicate nose, and rosy lips made her look even more enchanting. He felt an almost primal urge to kiss her.
