My ex, my Fiancee's Son

Chapter 24. What does that man really want

"You done yet?" Me and Marcus looked over. Andrew just got out of his little changing room. He was wearing a suit in white.

Marcus immediately let go of his hand. And I feel lost. My hands were so itchy that I wanted to pull Marcus's hand and put it back on my cheek.

Andrew was standing to my right. And Marcus stepped back. Andrew looked at me from top to bottom. Observing me as a whole.

"You're so pretty, Shelina."

Same words as Marcus. Why this has a very different effect. I'm glad Andrew said that but I don't feel that way. As if Andrew's words had no effect on me at all.

"Yes, Miss Shelina looks so pretty in this wedding dress." Leonardo is not far from us.

"Yes, we'll just pick this one." I didn't listen to their conversation at all. I was just following Leonardo's assistant who helped me get changed. My mind is still distracted by the effect of the words Marcus said earlier.

"Shelina?" Andrew's hand shake and his call resuscitated me. I'm turning.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Dumpling noodles and orange juice only."

"That's all?" I'm nodding. I haven't eaten spaghetti in a long time.

I looked towards the front. The place where Marcus was sitting. The man stared out at the restaurant from the window glass beside him.

"What's wrong?" Andrew asked again. I looked over and found her forehead wrinkled deep. He must have caught my eyes wet, which was only on Marcus earlier.

"I'm still confused, why was Marcus at the fitting place?"

"Because he also tried on the suit that he would wear later."

"Oh so." Before long the waiter came to take our order. I can't wait to eat dumpling noodles. But my lips pursed because there was a cucumber cut on it. I forgot to tell the waiter not to give cucumbers to my dumpling noodles.

Suddenly there was another bowl of dumpling noodles approaching my bowl. I looked up and looked at Marcus.

"Remind me the cucumber." Instantly I smiled widely and quickly picked up the cucumber in my bowl using chopsticks and stuffed it into Marcus' bowl.

"Why did you move the cucumber?" I turned towards the frowning Andrew staring at my hand that moved the cucumber.

"Because Shelina doesn't like cucumbers." Marcus answered Andrew's question.

Silence followed after. Jesus, what did Marcus just say? I looked at Andrew in fear. How'this? What if Andrew is suspicious? He must be wondering why Marcus would know that I hate and dislike cucumbers.

"I don't know that." His eyes looked in full search at me and Marcus. I hope he doesn't investigate further. Of course Marcus knows I don't like cucumbers. Because long ago every time we ate together I always got rid of cucumbers and he always ate them.

The frown on Andrew's forehead deepened. What is he thinking right now? I can't imagine her reaction if she finds out about my relationship with Marcus in the past.

"Why do you know Marcus?"

"Marcus." Marcus' words were cut off by the voice of a girl who had suddenly been standing next to our table. This is the second time I am relieved by the arrival of the Siska snake. I was afraid Marcus was talking about our relationship in the past. And luckily this bitch stopped Marcus' speech.

I breathed a sigh of relief and stared intently at Siska who was already sitting beside Marcus. As I recall, no one allowed him to sit there.

"Om home yet?" Andrew nodded and resumed his meal. My hands are rummaging through dumpling noodles. My feeding napsu was gone and changed to want to eat the snake Siska.

The girl's hand was holding Marcus's arm.

"Sister." The spoiled voice that sounded like a pinch rat was very disturbing and disgusting to me.

"Why didn't you call me? I miss you so much." Can't the girl stop acting so sick. I feel like I'd love to spill this noodle on his body.

"I'm busy." Marcus' short answer made me pull the corner of my lips. Suddenly Siska's eyes were on me. I grinned and he looked at me sharply. And a second later he also smirked at me. The alarm in my brain sounded. That girl must be putting together something sneaky.

"I don't think I'm a stranger to you, Shelina." What is he planning? I looked at Andrew. The man paid more attention to Siska's words. The girl frowned as if she was thinking.

"ah! You went to the University of Indonesia, didn't you?" What the hell is he planning? Does he want to reveal my relationship with Marcus first?

"Yes" I replied briefly. I don't want to talk more. I'm afraid it'll just be bait for Siska to break my secret with Marcus.

"You must be no stranger to me. Sis, you know her, too, don't you?"

"Yes, Marcus also attended UI. You guys must have met in college." Andrew's words made my heart beat really fast. I looked at Marcus. What's he gonna say? God, I'm not ready to accept Andrew's reaction if he finds out we were dating.

Marcus's eyes looked at me. What is he thinking right now? An emergency gripped me. Sweat began to flow through my temple. Marcus was silent with his sharp eyes dragging on me. Until he said something I never thought of.

"No, I don't know him."

A long sword stretched out my heart until it split into two. My body stiffened instantly. Marcus said he didn't know me?

I paid no heed to Siska who was grinning at me. My eyes were glued to Marcus. I can't believe he could say that. Heart's hurt. I didn't want Marcus to talk about our relationship but hearing him say he didn't know me was more painful than being insulted by him. It was as if all of our good memories in the past had no meaning at all. Then, what was the meaning of all the attention he had given these few days?

I looked at Marcus with hurt. My eyes are glazed and hot. My tears wanted to spill at this moment but I held him back with all my might. There's Andrew beside me. He can't see me crying.

Marcus threw away his face and got up.

"I'm done and I'm going back to the office. I have a lot of reports to check." Then he walked away without looking at me again. Siska also got up and hurriedly followed Marcus.

I can't take it anymore. I got up and immediately went to the toilet, ignoring Andrew who called my name.
