Chapter 213 Confession for Leniency
Fiorello's meticulous care and gentle words made Maggie feel more uneasy.
Maggie couldn't speak out, unable to explain the fact that she had given birth to a child.
When Maggie and Fiorello first had sexual relations, Maggie was afraid that Fiorello had misunderstood. This was no misunderstanding; Maggie, who had given birth, was not new to intimacy with men.
The more Maggie thought about it, the more uncomfortable and guilty she felt, especially about the child she had never met.
Seeing Maggie's unusual mood, Fiorello furrowed his brow and asked with concern, "Is Mark bothering you again?"
Maggie turned around, closed her eyes, and hugged Fiorello's waist, trying to steady her voice. "No, I'm just a bit tired. I want to rest for a while, and I'll be fine after a nap."
Fiorello knew it was a lie but didn't press further, saying, "Alright, rest well. I'll go to the next room to handle some work."
Fiorello intentionally gave Maggie some quiet space.
At this moment, Maggie indeed needed a quiet space to release her emotions.
In the study,
Fiorello sat in front of the computer, thinking about Maggie's abnormal behavior when Holden called.
"Fiorello, I can't handle Mr. Robinson, the CEO of Chase Bank. It's too difficult. You need to take care of it this time personally."
"Understood." Fiorello replied in a deep voice, "Have William arrange a meeting with Mr. Robinson tonight. I'll see him then."
Holden's abilities were limited, and most people cooperated with the company out of respect for Fiorello.
It could be said that Fiorello was the company's backbone.
After the call, Fiorello bid Maggie goodbye and left.
Now, only Maggie remained at home. The quiet environment made it easy for Maggie to overthink.
Maggie even considered divorcing Fiorello.
Maggie was now infertile and couldn't keep dragging Fiorello along.
She also couldn't ignore the child she brought into the world; she had to take responsibility.
Moreover, Maggie didn't know who the child's father was. What if he showed up one day?
Maggie couldn't deceive Fiorello forever.
She couldn't let Fiorello pay for the mistakes she made.
After quickly coming to a decision, Maggie remembered that she had told Fiorello that honesty was fundamental to their marriage. If she could keep this secret today, she would sow countless lies in the future.
When there were too many lies, and one lived in unease in a marriage, then the original meaning of marriage was lost.
Maggie sat up with her mind made up, and she planned to find the right moment to confess this matter to Fiorello.
As for the losing child, Maggie would wait for Arya to recover before inquiring further.
For now, Maggie needed to talk to Dulce to learn more about the past.
Now that Maggie knew about the childbirth, there was no more room for evasion; she had to face the past bravely.
Maggie called Dulce. "Dulce, let's have dinner tonight at the usual place."
Receiving the call, Dulce felt a sense of unease.
When Maggie invited her to dinner, it was never in this tone. Something was definitely amiss this time.
Arya was still in the hospital, and Maggie herself had only been discharged for two days. At this critical moment, having a meal, Dulce always felt like there was some conspiracy.
At 7 p.m., at the Mexican restaurant,
Maggie had ordered Tacos and wine, waiting for Dulce to arrive.
When Dulce arrived in her BMW, she felt nervous seeing the wine on the table. "Maggie, you just got out of the hospital. You shouldn't be drinking."
"Sit down." Maggie didn't address the topic but instead opened a bottle of wine in front of Dulce, saying, "I have something to ask you today. We've known each other for so many years, and you know my matters the best."
