Chapter 271 Street Games
Mark's relentless persuasion finally wore Arya down. With a softened heart, she agreed, "Fine, I'll go back to London with you. I'll just go and see. But Maggie will be back tomorrow, and I need to tell her before we leave for London."
"Okay," Mark replied with a smile, "I'll buy the tickets first. When Maggie returns, just let me know, and we'll head to London. But I think it's best not to tell Maggie the truth right now."
Arya also felt that Maggie wouldn't agree if she knew the truth, so she said, "Alright, I know what to say."
Adalia, who was eating her fries, listened to their conversation. Although she obediently continued eating, she secretly decided to tell her mother. She couldn't let her grandmother be deceived by a bad guy. To Adalia, Mark was definitely a bad guy.
In Sunshine Bay City, Maggie had no idea about Arya's situation. Arya had already been persuaded by Mark. At this moment, Maggie had just finished getting ready to go out for dinner when the doorbell rang.
Maggie knew it was Fiorello returning and went to open the door with a smile.
A bouquet of flowers came into view first. Fiorello walked in, holding a bunch of roses. "Honey, these are for you."
Maggie felt a surge of joy. "Why are you giving me flowers today? It's not Valentine's Day."
"When two people are in love, every day is Valentine's Day." Fiorello gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, noticing she had put on makeup. "Change your shoes, I'm taking you out to dinner."
"Your sweet talk is getting better and better. You finished work so quickly; I thought you'd be late."
"With my wife waiting for me, I had to be efficient and finish early. Tonight, I'll take you out for a stroll, and we can head back to Cyberland anytime tomorrow."
Maggie was in high spirits. She smelled the roses, placed them aside, and put on her shoes to go out with him.
Fiorello was on a business trip to Sunshine Bay City and couldn't have brought just one assistant.
Fiorello took Maggie for a walk in Sunshine Bay City's town, with William and a few bodyguards following not far behind to ensure their safety.
The town was bustling. Maggie and Fiorello ate street food while William and the bodyguards pretended to buy other food nearby.
To make it look natural and not arouse Maggie's suspicion, William and the bodyguards ended up eating a lot.
Maggie was very happy. It had been a long time since she had such a relaxing stroll through the town, enjoying street food.
"Fiorello, do you come to Sunshine Bay City often? How else would you know there's a town here?"
"I asked clients about it." Fiorello held her hand, looking at her with always gentle and doting eyes. "Knowing you love good food, I brought you here today."
"You know me best," Maggie smiled, spotting some street games ahead. "Let's go play."
Having rested in the hotel all day, Maggie was full of energy and pulled Fiorello towards the games.
The vendor had laid out a variety of small prizes on the ground, with the more valuable ones placed further back. If you could toss a ring around the item you wanted, you could take it home.
In the middle of the setup was a stool with a rabbit on it. Many people had gathered around.
Everyone wanted the rabbit. It was smart and agile, always dodging the rings. No matter how people tried, they couldn't catch it. But this only made it more interesting, drawing more people to try.
Even if they couldn't catch it, they were happy, and the vendor made a lot of money.
Maggie was having a great time. Someone asked the vendor, "Hey, did you train this rabbit? It's amazing."
The vendor laughed. "If you miss, you only lose a bit of money. If it gets caught, it loses its life."
The crowd burst into laughter at the owner's humor, drawing even more people to try their luck.
Maggie tugged on Fiorello's arm, playfully saying, "Honey, why don't you give it a try? I want that rabbit."
Hearing her call him "honey" made Fiorello's heart melt. He was determined to win that rabbit for her.
"Alright," Fiorello said, always willing to fulfill Maggie's wishes.
He walked up to the vendor. "Give me ten rings."
Seeing another customer, the vendor was delighted and handed over ten rings with a smile. "Why not buy more? Ten might not be enough."
"Ten will do."
If it weren't for the ten-hoop minimum, Fiorello would have only bought one. He only needed one hoop.
Fiorello took the ten rings, and Maggie quickly paid for them. "Ten dollars, here you go."
The household money was in Maggie's hands, something every married man understands.
William and the bodyguards blended into the crowd, joining in the fun.
Seeing Fiorello needing his wife to pay even ten dollars, they silently admired Maggie. Fiorello was under her control.
Maggie wanted the rabbit, and the billionaire boss was now playing a street game. If word got out, everyone in their circle would be shocked.
To live well, they knew they had to stay on Maggie's good side.
