Chapter 773 Fiorello and Mark Collided
Melissa was stunned. No matter how much she calculated, she never expected Mark to come back today.
Melissa stood frozen in place as Mark walked over with his suitcase. "Melissa, why are you standing there? Have you eaten? The food on the plane was terrible, and I'm starving."
"Dad!" Melissa grabbed Mark, stopping him from going inside.
If he went in, it would be a disaster.
Melissa forced herself to stay calm and said, "Dad, why did you suddenly come back? Weren't you in Cyberland?"
"This is my home. Why can't I come back?" Mark thought Melissa was acting strange. He was just coming home; was there any need to make such a fuss?
Mark said, "I visited Maggie and the two kids, and then I came back. If I didn't, your mom would start suspecting me again. I'm living under someone else's roof now and need you all to take care of me. How could I not come back?"
There was a hint of self-mockery in Mark's tone. Wasn't he indeed living under someone else's roof now?
As he spoke, Mark tried to walk inside again.
Melissa held on tightly and said, "Dad, the housekeeper is off today. We were just about to go out to eat. Come on, I'll take you out to eat."
She couldn't let Mark through that door.
Mark said, "I need to go inside first to put down my luggage."
"Leave the luggage in the yard. The restaurant is already booked, and we're running late." Melissa pulled Mark towards the outside.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mark shook off Melissa's hand. "I can walk by myself. Why are you so anxious?"
Mark straightened his wrinkled clothes and was about to go out to eat when he heard Ashley's voice inside the house, along with a man's voice.
Fiorello came out of the bathroom, not seeing Melissa. His clothes and pants were wet from a broken faucet. Ashley saw this and said, "Go upstairs and change. Take off your clothes."
Because half a wall was blocking his view and Melissa was pulling him, Mark could only see half of the living room and not the whole scene.
Hearing such suggestive words and thinking about how Melissa was trying to drag him out, he immediately thought of a possibility.
Ashley was hiding a lover at home while he was away.
Melissa was helping to cover it up.
Mark's face turned ugly immediately. "What are you hiding from me? There's a man in the house. Did I come back at the wrong time? Who is the man in the house? What are you helping your mom cover up?"
"Dad, there's no man. You misheard. Let's go eat." Melissa was desperate and almost out of options. She had to drag Mark out, no matter what.
But Melissa underestimated the anger of a man who thought he was being cheated on. Mark, furious, shook off Melissa and strode inside.
"Ashley, how dare you find a lover behind my back? Bastard, come out! I want to see which gigolo dares to cuckold me."
Mark pushed the door open and walked in with big strides. Melissa felt a sense of despair. It was over.
In the living room, only Ashley was sitting there. Mark didn't see any man and questioned, "Ashley, where did the man who was talking to you just now go?"
Ashley denied it. "There was no man. I was watching TV. It was the sound from the TV."
Melissa followed him in and didn't see Fiorello either, which surprised her.
Ashley signaled to Melissa that Fiorello had already gone upstairs.
Ashley had seen Mark outside the yard and quickly pushed Fiorello upstairs.
But if Mark kept making a fuss, the truth would come out.
At this moment, Fiorello's voice came from the stairs, "Melissa, is your dad back?"
