A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 808 You've Made Such a Decision

When Sylvie was asleep, Marley got up. He felt much better after his desire was satisfied. He really loved her. She was a considerate wife.

He covered her with the quilt and kissed her on the cheeks. Then he went out to go on reading documents.

Tyler took the documents and went to Marley's office.

"Marley, you've made up your mind?" Sylvie was not in the office, so Tyler could not help but ask.

Marley nodded. "Look into that thing I told you, and keep a close eye on our new project. I'm sorry to trouble you. I need to go home tonight!"

"Got it!" Tyler nodded.

When the staff was off work, Sylvie was still sleeping. She liked sleeping after being pregnant.

After everyone left, Marley stretched himself and went to the lounge. Sylvie had slept for three hours. She was lying on the bed with a red face. She was very relaxed judging from her gesture. Her eyelashes were like butterfly's wings.

She was like a beautiful statue.

She slept so well that he didn't want to wake her up, but he had to since it was time for dinner. If she slept too much in the daytime, she wouldn't fall asleep at night. He could only reach out to pat her face and whispered, "Get up, Sylvie. The sun was setting."

He said softly, but she didn't wake up. Sylvie pouted, clicked her tongue, and went on sleeping.

She was so cute!

When Marley looked at her red lips, he couldn't help bending his head and kissing her on the lips. He twirled the tip of his tongue on her beautiful lips

Sylvie was awoken. There was a shock in her starry eyes. She opened her eyes and Marley's handsome face was before her.

She was startled and her lips were slightly parted.

Sylvie stared in shock. She couldn't help but twist herself and tried to get rid of him.

"Well!" Realizing that he would lose control, he let go of her and said in a hoarse voice, "Wake up, Sylvie. Let's go home for dinner!"

"Well!" She blushed and asked him to pull her up.

In the evening, they went back to their parents' villa.

Sylvie hadn't come there for a long time. As soon as she entered the door, she was pulled by Miriam. Miriam observed Sylvie carefully. "Sylvie, why do you look thin? Marley did not take good care of you?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

With that, Miriam glared at her son. "What's up? Sylvie becomes so thin!"

Marley shrugged his shoulders. "She doesn't eat much. You can persuade her yourself."

"Mom, I eat a lot! I'm not thin!" Sylvie said hurriedly. She was not used to being cared about, because Sadie never cared about her. Thinking of Sadie, Sylvie was a bit curious about how she was now. Marley told her not to care about Sadie, so Sylvie did it, and Sadie did not call her.

"Today I let Sabrina cook your favorite dishes. You should have more. It's better to put on your weight, so you can be pregnant more easily." Miriam said and let Sylvie sit down.

Sylvie blushed. Marley did not tell his mother that she was pregnant.

No sooner had she sat down than Aiden came downstairs.

Sabrina brought the fruit and went back to the kitchen to cook.

"Dad!" Sylvie stood up and greeted him.

Aiden gestured, "Sit down!"

Sylvie sat down and saw the fruit on the table including grapes, mangoes, and watermelons. She loved eating grapes most, so her mouth watered. But she was in her parents-in-law's house, so she was too embarrassed to take them.

When Miriam talked to Aiden, Miriam forgot to ask Sylvie to take some.

Marley took off his coat, untied his tie, and undid two buttons. He turned his head and saw Sylvie. A faint smile touched his lips. Sylvie's eyes glistened when she saw the grapes, but she didn't take any. Marley walked over to Sylvie, sat down, and gave some grapes to Sylvie. "Take some. You can't be full only by looking at them!"

These days, Sylvie liked to eat sour food very much.

"Have more, Sylvie!" Miriam said.

"Thank you, Mom!" Sylvie blushed and had some grapes. She felt that she had had a great appetite since she was pregnant.

Seeing that, Marley took a grape, peeled it, and put it into her mouth. "Open your mouth!"

"Well, I can do it myself!" She was embarrassed. Their parents were all around her, but Marley still showed affection to her.

"Hurry up!" Marley urged.

Miriam and Aiden exchanged glances. They were both very pleased. As long as their son was happy, they were satisfied.

Sylvie could only open her mouth! The grapes tasted sweet and sour!

She ate the flesh and Marley reached out to catch the seeds. "Spit them here!"

"No need!" Sylvie reached out to take the dish. "I can help myself!"

Marley was helpless and nodded. When he looked up and saw his parents watching him, he did not feel embarrassed at all. He said in a deep voice, "When will my uncle and aunt and cousin come here?"

"I made a phone call just now. They will be here in a while." Miriam said.

Only then did Sylvie realize that Ernie and his parents would come for dinner.

She sat on the sofa quietly and ate the grapes, with a small dish in her lap, in which there were a lot of grape seeds.

Marley turned to look at her. Sylvie was quiet with a red face and her chin looked small. When Marley was looking at her, she looked up and put on a bright smile.

Marley gave her a smile.

Aiden said, "Marley, how do you think of your cousin's ability?"

Marley looked back at his father. His father seemed to be more concerned about Ernie. Marley felt something went wrong. He just felt that his father owed his cousin a lot. "He is very capable."

Aiden seemed relieved. "He advised buying that land. What do you think?"

Marley looked at his father, picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't want to buy it!"

Hearing this, Aiden's face turned gloomy, and stopped smiling. He leaned against the chair, picked up the cup, and took a sip. After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Ernie seldom puts forward a proposal. He must want to make it!"

Marley nodded.

Sylvie was a little confused. Didn't Marley read Ernie's proposal?

"You think that proposal is bad?" Aiden asked.

"No, on the contrary, it's perfect!" Marley drank tea with a smile and his eyes bright.

"Why don't you agree?" Aiden raised his eyebrows.

"Dad, if I let Ernie leave the company, what will you do?" Marley asked calmly.

"Marley, this is impossible!" My brothers and I only had four children. You should unite your brothers. I really wish you could work together for Hughes Group. I am in a bad condition, so I hope you could be well. If his proposal is not bad, please give him a chance!"

Aiden's words seemed to be reasonable, but Sylvie felt that Aiden was partial to Ernie, no matter how perfect and feasible Ernie's proposal was.

She looked at Marley worriedly and saw a self-mocking smile on his lips. He kept staring at the tea. The bright light shed on the porcelain cup, which hurt his eyes.

Aiden continued, "Marley, I hope you do not hold a prejudice against Ernie. Ernie has been rebellious, but he gets much better recently. Give him a chance. Perhaps he can get some achievements!"

Aiden's voice sounded in Marley's ears. His mind went blank. Then he looked up to his father. "Dad, Ernie could be more than a president."

Aiden was stunned.

"Marley, Ernie often goes out of bounds. He cannot be the president. Sometimes I don't know what he is thinking," said Marley.

"Marley, what do you mean?" Aiden pondered.

"Dad, I work for the company as the president for another three months. When I get back all the capital, I will let Ernie be the president. I'll do whatever I want."

"What?" Aiden was stunned and his body shook slightly.

"Don't get excited. You're not in good health! Let Marley finish!"

Marley looked a bit frustrated. "Dad, I don't want to be the president. To be it bluntly. I don't like working in Hughes Group. When I took over the Hughes Group, you said that I could have the final say and you wouldn't interfere in my decisions. However, when the company is back on track, you appoint Ernie as the vice president. The uncles made me exhausted and I made a lot of efforts to drive them away. Now you arrange for Ernie to work with me. I have no idea what he wants to do since I am too stupid. To be honest, he is more capable than me. I appreciate his perfect proposal and know his ability. You should also know that. If he becomes the president, the Hughes Group can flourish. Therefore, I will no longer be the president in three months. I have made up my mind. I hope you and Mom can agree with me."

Moreover, Sylvie's belly would become larger in three months. He wanted to take care of her and stop fighting with Ernie. He felt so tired.

Sylvie was shocked. She did not know Marley would have such an idea. She looked at Marley nervously. He looked back at her, and their eyes met. She saw loneliness, sadness, and relief in his eyes!

She knew he was serious. He would leave the company when the Hughes Group was on track and the capital was returned. Perhaps he never took the family business seriously.
