Chapter 278
Billionaire’s Reborn Baby novel Chapter 278
Sydnee came face to face with her mother Janice when she went downstairs. Janice said with a gloomy expression on her face, “He said he has something to tell you. Your father and I have locked him out, but he doesn’t want to leave.”
Sydnee nodded, “I know. I’ll go take a look.”
“Don’t do anything stupid, my child.” Janice warned Sydnee because she was afraid that her silly daughter would really say yes to that bastard.
“I know.” Sydnee knew she wouldn’t.
When Sydnee walked out of the living room, she recalled what Emily had said to her for no reason.
“You will meet a better man in the future.”
“Don’t rush into marriage. There are good men ahead, and you just have to wait.”
She had gathered her courage and finally curled her lips into a smile.
To think about seeing Marquise again, Sydnee was calm and without compunction. Marquise was standing by the iron railing in the distance, and behind him was his long shadow in the street light. He was overjoyed to see Sydnee come out.
Marquise had the good look of a playboy. Putting aside his dissolute private life, he could actually be seen as a talented young man in City Y. After all, his family was rich. He had the capital to indulge in feasting and revelry every night, and he also had the capital to choose any woman he wanted.
However, that woman would never be Sydnee.
Sydnee knew it was impossible for her to be with him for the rest of her life. The moment she saw him, her heart was as calm as the smooth surface of a lake. Even when she was standing there at the door, she was just thinking about what expression she should put on when Eliot arrived.
Although the two of them were standing face to face, what they were thinking were different.
They remained silent until Marquise spoke, “I know you’re not with Eliot.” He stepped forward and smiled unconsciously, “He hasn’t come to see you, and you haven’t met him alone or gone on a date with him.”
Sydnee wondered if Marquise would never give up if she didn’t get married with Eliot.
Sydnee frowned as she looked at him. She had never known that she was being watched. And to think of what would happen if Marquise found out what she had been doing for Emily …
“I know. You guys are trying to deceive me together.” Marquise continued to indulge himself in his own fantasy, and his tone was incredibly serious and sincere, “I did something wrong before. I know it. But I hope you can give me a second chance.”
Sydnee interrupted him, “Eliot and I keep in touch by phone.” She unlocked her phone and turned to the contact records. The last phone calls she had made were all to Eliot. She pointed to the records and said, “I was chatting with him before you came here.”
Marquise froze, “That’s impossible.” He smiled, but his smile was a bit bleak. “You don’t even like him, how could you be with him?”
Sydnee asked back in confusion, “Why wouldn’t I like him?” She took a few steps back from Marquise and continued, “Eliot has a good personality and good family background. Most importantly, he is good-natured and we have shared topics. His speech and his manners are elegant. My parents also like him very much.”
“He has met your parents?” The expression on Marquise’s face changed.
“Yes, long ago.” Sydnee saw the headlights of a car, and she knew that Eliot was there. She immediately felt reassured, and she began to speak without hesitation, “My parents are very satisfied with him, and so am I. He is very nice with me, and I like him very much.”
“He is nice with you?” Marquise didn’t believe it, “How?”
“He’s busy at work, so he doesn’t have time to meet me during the day. He always comes to see me at night.” Sydnee lied without blushing, “Do you still want to hear more about how nice he is with me?”
Actually, she couldn’t made up more stories, but she didn’t know Marquise had completely mistaken the way she put it.
If Eliot always went to see Sydnee at night and was nice with her … What else could it mean other than that?
