Submitting To My Ex-Wife by Daisy Woods ( Pearl & Marc Males )

Chapter 47 

In a high–end coffee shop. 

The air was filled with the rich and aromatic scent of coffee. Steam rose in spirals, blurring the two handsome faces. 

Samuel sat across from Marc. As the host, Samuel took the initiative to brew coffee for 

Marc. “This is our own production of Kopi Luwak beans. Mr. Males, would you like to try it and see if it suits your taste?” 

i 

“Thank you.” Marc lightly knocked on the table. His actions were indescribably elegant and 

calm. 

It was completely different from the helplessness Marc had when facing Pearl. 

Samuel looked up and sized up the man in front of him without batting an eyelid. This was Brooke’s grandson, the new leader of Males Group. Samuel had heard of Marc’s name for a long time and had long wanted to meet him. 

The Males Group was founded by Brooke and could be considered a family business. The Males Group once thrived and prospered, but it faced a decline in the next generation. It wasn’t until the eldest grandson of the Males family, Marc, was ushered into the position. of successor that a revival began to take shape. 

The one who helped the Males Group secure its position as the wealthiest in Machodean. was the young man sitting across from Samuel, someone of a similar age to him, Marc. 

“I’ve admired you for a long time, Mr. Males. I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to visit you. However, as you know, our two families have always minded our own business. We don’t have many opportunities to cooperate and communicate.” 

Marc looked straight at Samuel and said calmly, “Mr. Goodman, I know you. You’re Pearl’s right–hand man.” 

Although Marc didn’t find any information about Pearl, he did find out some information about the people around her. Samuel was not only Pearl’s right–hand man but also the son of the Woolery family’s driver.

Three years ago, Ken and Rebecca died in a car accident. The driver also died on the spot. He was Samuel’s father. 

However, Pearl did not blame the Goodman family. Not only did she settle the Goodman family down, but she also transferred Samuel from overseas to her side to help her in the Woolery Group. 

Samuel smiled gently. “The Woolery family’s kindness to the Goodman family is as heavy as a mountain. Ms. Woolery and I have grown up together since we were young. Or rather, I watched her grow up. In my heart, she’s not only the boss but also 

v sister” 

Marc’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Oh, you are childhood sweethearts.” 

Samuel chuckled once more. “No, I’m her guardian, just like in a fairy tale, a knight protecting a princess. So, I won’t allow anyone to bully her or harm her.” 

At this point, Samuel’s gentle expression turned colder. 

Marc looked at Samuel calmly. 

Samuel continued, “Mr. Males, I asked you out today to find out what Ms. Woolery had experienced in the three years she was missing. What kind of relationship do you have with Ms. Woolery?” 

When Marc heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. 

Marc originally thought that with the relationship between Pearl and Samuel, Samuel should know something. Perhaps Marc could find out the answer from Samuel, but now it seemed that Samuel did not know anything. 

Marc raised his cup and took a sip. “You’re so close to Pearl. Didn’t she tell you?” 

“I’m not her biological brother. There are some things she’s afraid I’ll worry about and won’t 

tell me.” 

Samuel told the truth. “But ever since she came back, I can tell that she has something on her mind. She is not as lively as before. I think she must have experienced a lot in the past three years to be like this.” 

Marc frowned slightly. He suddenly realized that when Pearl first married him, she was

indeed much livelier than now. She was also very gentle and obedient. 

But now, facing Marc, that woman didn’t have the slightest bit of kindness. Her words were sharp as if she was treating an enemy. 

A years 

ago, my father drove Mr. and Mrs. Woolery to Machodean to propose marriage for Ms. Woolery. But you said that she married you.. 

Samuel looked at Marc deeply. “Are you the man she had a crush on for ten years?” 

Marc’s pupils constricted, and his eyes were filled with shock. 

Proposing marriage? A ten–year crush? 

Pearl had a crush on him? 

At the horse ranch in the northern suburbs. 

The horse ranch was still under construction. The road was bumpy and uneven. It was a wise choice for Pearl to change into a pair of flat shoes. 

“Be careful.” 

Lucas reached out and helped Pearl up. Pearl did not refuse. She thanked him politely and handed her hand over. 

“Your hand…” Lucas rubbed Pearl’s palm. He flipped it over and could not help but be surprised. “You’re a rich young lady. But why are there so many calluses on your palm?” 

The back of Pearl’s hand and the palm were completely different. 

The back of Pearl’s hand was fair and tender, and her fingers were long and slender. She looked like a pampered young lady who had never done any chores. However, Pearl’s palm. was covered in thick calluses, especially her finger pads. It was a little rough to touch. 

“No wonder Marc always thought you were a village young woman.” 

Lucas seemed to be looking at some rare scene as he touched Pearl’s palm. 

Pearl frowned and retracted her hand. She retorted indignantly, “So what if I am a village young woman? Who said that children who grow up in the city can’t have calluses on their

palms? The calluses on your hands are no less than mine.” 

Lucas showed his large palm. “I’ve been handling guns in the military, developing calluses through daily training. Can you handle it like I do?” 

Speaking of this, Pearl could not help but think of Marc. Marc’s palm was also covered in 

calluses. 

“Hey, I’m your suitor. I’ll be jealous if you think about another man in front of me,” Lucas protested unhappily. 

Pearl could not help but look up. “How did you…” 

Pearl pursed her lips. 

“How did I know you’re thinking of another man?” 

Lucas finished Pearl’s sentence and looked at her with a half–smile. “Your deep love for Marc is written all over your face. He can’t tell, but you can’t hide it from me.” 

Pearl rolled her eyes at Lucas. 

“To be honest, not only is Marc curious, but I’m also very curious. Why did you marry him in disguise back then?” 

Lucas looked at Pearl. The sunlight was just right. The golden light shone on her face, gilding her perfect face with a layer of gold. She was so beautiful that she did not seem 

like a mortal. 

Pearl stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were cold. “Are you here to work or to gossip?” 

“These two things don’t necessarily conflict,” Lucas shrugged. 

Pearl continued walking forward. “It’s already in the past. There’s nothing more to say. Marc doesn’t need to know, let alone you.” 

Lucas quickly caught up to Pearl and touched her shoulder. “Please satisfy my curiosity.” 

Pearl glared at Lucas. “Curiosity will kill you. I advise you to cherish your life.” 

Lucas felt a chill run down his spine.

Lucas grinned. “I suddenly have a bad feeling.” 

Lucas sounded serious. Pearl frowned slightly. “What bad feeling?” 

“If we really get married, I might become a henpecked man.” 

Pearl didn’t even know what to say. 

This man must be crazy. 

Pearl couldn’t be bothered with Lucas. She flipped through the documents in her hand and 

checked the current infrastructure modification of the horse ranch. 

Lucas caught up with Pearl. “I’m serious. I like mysterious women the most. They make me want to explore them. If you really go over with Marc, you can consider being my girlfriend.” 

Pearl did not even raise her head as she continued to flip through the documents. “What’s the benefit of being your girlfriend?” 

“There are many benefits. I’ve always been generous and dote on women. I can give you anything you want. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I can find a way to pick one for you.” 

Pearl smiled disdainfully. “I don’t lack money, love, or stars. What you can give me is meaningless to me.” 

Lucas clutched his chest. “It hurts my heart.” 

“Forget it.” Pearl patted the documents in Lucas’s arms. 

Lucas took the documents and chased after Pearl, unwilling to give up. “Let’s not talk. about the other benefits first. At least you can anger Marc. Don’t you want your ex- 

husband to regret it?” 

Pearl could not help but stop in her tracks..
