Chapter 186
Marco then began to swing the long stick to hit the small ball, which now floated far in front of him, making Marco smile as he looked at Arabella, who was now staring at him with a disapproving look. "What is your goal, actually?" Marco asked, looking at Arabella who was now preparing to hit the golf ball in front of her.
"I want to know someone's reaction to this news," Arabella said, making Marco look at her with a blank expression.
"Who else is currently pursuing you and wanting to test their courage?" Marco asked, making Arabella pause for a moment to focus on her swing, executing it smoothly, then walking followed by Marco. "He's a simple man. He's just a fitness coach, but I find him somewhat attractive, and most importantly, he's not tempted by me," Arabella said, causing Marco's steps to stop as he gazed at his former lover. "So?" Marco asked again.
"That's why I want you not to mess up about the news circulating right now. For the next week, and after that, I will clarify the news myself. That the news is not true. So, be patient until one week from now, okay?" Arabella asked, making Marco let out a long breath.
"Yes, and because of you, now I have to Start thinking about how I explain all this misunderstanding to my wife. I haven't even contacted her until now. You know, my wife is pregnant, and you've probably made her suspicious of me right now," Marco said again, making Arabella shrug indifferently.
"Don't worry, if she's still not satisfied With seeing my clarification later and Your explanation, I myself will meet her," Arabella said, making Marco shake his head.
"No, that will only worsen the situation.
So it's better now if you quickly convince that man that he likes you. After that, give clarification. If not, I will be the one to say it first," Marco said, making Arabella shake her head.
"Then our agreement is canceled. Or maybe, if I choose, I'll benefit from both. Marrying you or making the fitness coach like me. You both can benefit me," Arabella said, winking with one eye, making Marco just fall silent with the antics of the woman who had once been in his heart.
"I'm just worried about Letta's condition. I will explain everything as soon as you are truly sure about our cooperation. I might even fly directly to meet my wife if she is really hurt by this news," Marco said again, making Arabella look at Marco with a melancholic gaze.
"It turns out you really do love your wife," Arabella said, making Marco gaze fixedly at the side.
"Yes, of course I love her," Marco said, making Arabella fall silent. Even back when they were involved, Marco never showed a melancholic expression like that when thinking about her. And this time, for the first time, Arabella could see the sincerity in Marco's face, which truly displayed an expression other than his usual cold demeanor.
"Don't worry, your wife won't leave you just because of this issue," Arabella said, about to swing her club again, before Marco spokeup.
"It's different if she possibly remembers everything," Marco said again, making Arabella fall silent.
"She even forgot almost everything that used to be her memories. I'm worried that this news will affect her condition and our baby," Marco continued, causing Arabella not to have thought that far. "Don't worry, if your wife believes in you, she won't easily believe this news without hearing an explanation from you," Arabella said.
"That's why I need to make sure about our cooperation before I call my wife. You gave me the decision for too long and left me still not daring to contact Letta," Marco said again, making Arabella finally reach out her hand to pat the shoulder of her little friend.
"This is the first time I've seen Marco's face so tense like this. Even though he's just waiting for my approval. Aren't you always fearless about anything, but when it comes to your wife, you're really so vulnerable. This will be your Achilles' heel. If someone knows about it, they will easily target your wife," Arabella said, making Marco fall silent.
"Yes, it has happened several times, people have tried to take advantage of me by exploiting Letta. You must have heard about it too, right? If the Casino under my control puts Letta in even more danger. If only I couldn't save her," Marco said, making Arabella realize how difficult itis to bea Letta at this time. Especially with Marco's current willingness to accompany her playing golf just to ensure the news about their cooperation will continue or not with him. Arabella made her ridiculous request.
"I hope you put more guards in your mansion to protect your wife while you're away," Arabella said, making Marco nod his head.
"Yes, Ihave done that, and right now what I need to do is to settle your ridiculous promise and also catch Jacob. He's as slippery as an eel, still not found by Pedro. Usually, Pedro can carry out anything I give him ina short time, but to find a Jacob, it seems he has someone capable of hiding him from my surveillance," Marco said again, making Arabella nod her head.
"Do you need connections from me?" Arabella asked again.

"No need, because I know it's your father's connections, and I don't want to use them. Who knows, he might demand another favor, as mommy might think. I don't know why both of them insist so much on uniting you and me," Marco said, making Arabella fall silent as she gazed at the straight back of her former lover.
"Why do you say that? You seem so reluctant to marry me. Didn't you love me before?" Arabella said.
"Let's just say back then I only cared for you like a sister," Marco said, making Arabella truly shaken as she held her stomach.
"Don't talk nonsense. Siblings aren't that close to each other. It's impossible. Your words are truly disgusting. You dumped me and humiliated me like that," Arabella said, immediately wearing an unhappy expression, making Marco just shrug indifferently. He had gotten used to her attitude with Arabella by now. Although at the beginning of their breakup, Arabella and Marco were a bit awkward, now they were back to normal. They then resumed their conversation as Pedro approached Marco.
"What's up?" Marco asked.
"I just got word from Desi that Madam has been refusing to finish her meals for a few days now. She has lost several kilograms of weight. Isn't the predicted birth of her baby in a few weeks?" Pedro said, making Marco clench his jaw, and it was also clearly visible to Arabella.
"So I have to give in. It's better if you're the one to tell her first. Say what our current agreement is, because yes, I've made sure of it. We'll run with this, and after one week, I will provide clarification. If your wife still doesn't believe it, I will explain it to her directly," Arabella said, making Marco shake his head.
"It's not that easy. Letta really needs the right answers. She won't just believe it if I call her," Marco said, finally turning to Pedro.
"It seems I have to go back for Jacob's matter. We still haven't been able to find him, so the cooperation with Arabella seems enough for us," Marco said, making Pedro nod his head. Pedro seemed to know what he had to do this time. They would go back, and to monitor Jacob's movements with the cooperation he had with Arabella, Marco could finally stabilize what had been snatched by Jacob all this time.
