CEO's Secret Husband
|35|. Because I Want to Marry Him

"Ah, how is that possible sir? Lady Diana has confirmed to us that she has already started work and has an excellent host"

Sean frowned. Refusing to ask any further she said, "May you give Diana's contact"

"I think you have it. All right here" The woman took a piece of paper, wrote down a series of numbers and handed them to Sean.

"Thank you" Sean got up and left the company.

Climbing into his car, he finds a message notification from Aldrich.

'Actually you got this waiter from what company?'

'Why is there nothing he can do right?'

Sean pursed his lips as he began to think, "Haa, really suspicious"

It all went so fast. The next day Sean contacts Diana's mistress and has confirmed her whereabouts which turns out not to be in the castle. But in a large residence belonging to a young daughter who has just inherited her family business.

He didn't know who had arranged for this to happen. But it is unlikely that this was done out of bad faith given that Aldrich has no enemies in the human world.

"Can you come with me now?"

Diana wiped her hands on the apron, "Sorry?" Staring at Sean with a look of confusion.

"It's not the house you're supposed to be working in"

Diana suddenly thought of the large castle she had previously visited. It was a residence corresponding to the address listed on the paper, only...

"But a young lady came to me and told me to work here?"

Sean raised one of his eyebrows.

Diana looked at Sean Lamat, "Have I done anything wrong?"

Sean flicked his shoulders, "I think you'll know for sure, after coming with me"

As such, Diana left her job to one of the other servants and left with Sean.

Maribel has been busy at the company since morning. He takes care of a lot of things. Going through the usual meeting routine, checking each document without giving a gap to her aunt to be able to find her mistake.

He felt a bit relieved. Because after the day where she almost wretched in her villa that was near the forest, her aunt and uncle had not done things to harm her.

"It looks like they're thinking of taking a break"

"Yes?" Callie, who was sitting down and sorting through the documents on the coffee table, raised her head towards Maribel, "What did you just say?"

Maribel shook her head, smiling faintly, "It's nothing"

Late in the afternoon, Callie drove Maribel back to the castle.

Just as Maribel was entering the castle. A cold voice greeted his ear drum.

"Ah, so this is how your waiter works"

Maribel's steps stopped and his black eyeballs grew nervous when he saw Sean—, who was none other than Aldrich's adoptive uncle, sitting on the sofa cross-legged with his legs while floating a cold smile at him.

"Go in the morning and come back in the afternoon, how could you not be suspicious?" Sean glanced at Aldrich who was sitting on a single sofa.

Aldrich sneered at his temple, "He told me he had a side job"

Sean's lips twitched, "And you just believe it?"

Aldrich pursed his lips.

"Ha, I'm afraid your mother's naivety has declined quite a lot to you"

Aldrich immediately gripped Sean with a murderous look, "Don't take my mama with you"

Sean ran his gaze towards Maribel, "So pretty lady, can you tell us what you mean by doing all this?"

Maribel squeezed her fingers, took a deep breath, remained calm and asked, "Sorry, what does it mean to do all this?"

Sean smiled sneering, "You've been caught. So there's no need to extend your role-playing anymore"

Maribel's eyelashes instantly shook. His knees were weak and he fell down instantly.

"Sorry.." Maribel has bent her knees on the floor. His head bowed in regret with his two hands clenched in front of his chest, "Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to be bad. I did this.and pretended to be a servant.that's because it's pure.I.me.." His mouth spoke quickly and just became nervous.

Sean narrowed his eyes sharply, "For what?"

Sean was really scary Maribel. She felt like she was going to suffocate with her choking cold gaze, "Because.a-I.I.m..."

Sean sharpened his gaze, affirming his impatience.

It made both of Maribel's shoulders shake violently and cold sweat had drenched all over his back.

"Because..."

"Because I want to marry Mr. Aldrich"

Sean's eyes were wide open and Aldrich turned his head towards Maribel with a look of disbelief.

"What kind of reason is in—"

"I'm not lying" Cut Maribel. She continued with her lower lip and upper quiver, "I have fallen for her meeting us while in the forest— the day she saved me. This may sound silly to you, but I've been really in love with her since that day"

Scared Maribel looked at Sean and continued, "I tried to forget him at first. But as fate would have it, the night when I was about to be doomed, I had stepped through the fence of this castle to save myself and met him the next day. He thought I was a waitress who had just come to work. At that moment I thought about it..."

Maribel this time looked at Aldrich. The one who froze silent with an unreadable expression, but her beautiful brown eyes were staring at him, "Maybe I can use that chance to try my luck will get my first love. Be his servant and after..."

"Being his wife?" Sean sounds pretty sarcastic.

"This is why I hate people. I hate their naive thoughts that are boring like shit"

Aldrich threw his glare at Sean, "Don't be outrageous"

"I'm sorry, I forgot your mother was human"

Sean was getting a bit of a bitch in Aldrich's ear, "You can go"

Sean is completely out of words.

"Mrs Diana"

The woman of her forties and above walked out from her hiding place, "Yes master"

Maribel was shocked to see Diana appear.

"I think you've heard it all. You can go live in my uncle's apartment to take care of all kinds of deals with him"

"You're switching your duties to me?"

"No" Aldrich shook his head with a cold smile, "I asked your uncle for help"

"..."

"After all, I have to take care of this mess" Aldrich glanced at Maribel with an undefined gaze.

Let's just say Maribel's a little shaken.

"Good"

Sean wakes up and takes Diana with him. Before that, Diana had looked at Maribel with a somewhat pitiful look. Looking at those big black eyes that were how pure and beautiful it was. He immediately thought, 'What a poor girl. He was too naive to respond to his first love'

Diana patted Maribel on the shoulder slowly, "Take care of yourself"

Maribel's black eyeballs squinted, glazed over as her feelings of guilt spread, "Pardon my lies Miss Diana.." His voice sounded a bit raucous.

Diana smiled gently, "I understand. No need to feel so guilty. Finish your business"

Like that, Diana left immediately following Sean.

In the large living room, Maribel now lives alone together...

Aldrich who was staring at him flatly without a word.
