Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love



"Carlos, you're going to spoil me!"This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

After witnessing Winona and Jaxon's betrayal firsthand, Mikayla didn't think she'd ever invest in another relationship again. But somehow, she found herself irresistibly attracted to this man. His unconditional trust and indulgence drew her in deeper and deeper.

"That's the plan. I want to spoil you so much that no one else can handle you, so you'll never leave my side."

"I doubt you're new to this whole dating thing. You're too good at sweet-talking." Before this, Mikayla's only relationship was with Jaxon, who rarely said anything romantic. In contrast, Carlos's words flowed effortlessly, making her suspicious of him.

Carlos's hazel eyes gazed into her delicate features as his lips touched her forehead. "Mika, you have to believe me!"

Before they could enjoy more of their lovey-dovey moment, Sylvia called them back in for dinner. Mikayla saw the smile on Sylvia's face and blushed to her ears, giving Carlos a playful glare. She knew it, her mom had seen them.

Both families gathered at the table, toasting and chatting with their hidden agendas. Logan was lenient today because Jorge had agreed to take care of Huxley's work issue. Even Mildred, who usually wasn't very friendly, forced a smile at Mikayla's family. However, Huxley couldn't hide his emotions, even though Winona and Mildred kept signaling him to calm down. He stubbornly wore a grim face throughout. In his mind, if he didn't like Mikayla, why should he pretend otherwise? Needing to make nice with her family didn't sit right with him.

After dinner, Logan's family didn't make a move to leave. Mikayla and Carlos were inseparable, which frustrated Winona as she couldn't find an opportunity.

Finally, Sylvia asked Mikayla to help her get something from upstairs. With Carlos staying behind, he watched the news on TV.

Winona smirked, walking over and sitting close, but not too close, to Carlos. The lighting from the luxurious crystal chandelier made her look almost ethereal. Mikayla had an eye for picking men, and Carlos was undeniably good-looking.

"Carlos, are you into politics?" she asked casually.

Carlos didn't respond, changing the channel instead.

Winona wasn't annoyed and continued, "Carlos, you're so funny! I can tell you care about Mikayla. Your wedding was simply breathtaking. No one in Xosa has ever thrown such an extravagant event. Even the little girls got roses. I felt so honored to receive one myself... thank you, Carlos."

Carlos's sharp eyes narrowed as he looked at Winona.

"Don't you want to know about Mikayla's past with Jaxon? They were together for years, and it was far more than just dating..." "Don't you find yourself a bit noisy?" Carlos asked, his voice low and intimidating.

Winona suddenly felt a chill, this man was completely different from the one by Mikayla's side. "Isn't the Lindstrom family's son your husband? Continually tying your husband to Mikayla, you don't find that odd?" Carlos's tone turned icy. "Please, don't make the same mistake again. I won't consider the fact that you're Mika's cousin, or that you're pregnant. My Mika is not someone you can tarnish!"

Being threatened by a man like this was a first for her! No chivalry whatsoever. This is the man Mikayla chose? Just a rude guy who throws money around, no class at all!

"Carlos, are you even a man? I can't believe you don't care at all about your wife's long-term relationship with her ex-fiancé!" Winona had never met a man like this before.

"Whether or not I'm a man, only Mika needs to know. Don't test my patience, you don't want to see me angry." Carlos warned Winona.

Just then, Mikayla came down the stairs, seeing Winona and Carlos sitting with a respectful distance between them. She frowned slightly.

Carlos, hearing the footsteps, glanced at Winona one last time, then turned to Mikayla with a wide smile.

Winona watched Carlos's change in

demeanor with a heavy heart,

clutching her dress tightly. A man who could be cold and heartless, even threatening a pregnant woman, could instantly smile because of a single woman. It was clear that Carlos genuinely cared for this woman.

But why did Mikayla always seem to get the short end of the stick? No matter what it was items or people, Winona always got the best of everything! No one's luck could be that good every single time!

At the hallway corner, just outside the main hall. Carlos stepped closer to Mikayla, who asked, "Did Winona say something to you again?"

"It doesn't matter what she says. What matters is, I won't believe it!" Carlos's finger, rough with a slight callus, brushed against her soft cheek. The touch felt amazing. He wondered how it would feel to kiss her, to have their lips entwined. He would find out tonight...

Seeing the change in his eyes, Mikayla stepped back. "What are you thinking?"

The man grinned mischievously, "Haven't you figured it out?"

"You... Carlos, you're so bad!" Mikayla tried to stomp on his foot, but he anticipated her move and intercepted it.

As a result, Mikayla was now balanced on one foot, while Carlos held her other leg, keeping it aloft. They were very close, this position was incredibly... suggestive!

This scene was witnessed by Huxley and Mildred, who had just returned from the garden.

"What a shameless woman!" Huxley spat out.

Mildred's gaze was mocking, "Like mother, like daughter. Their flirtatious nature certainly runs in the family!"

At the coffee table, Winona noticed that only her mother and brother were present. She hissed softly at Huxley, "Huxley, what did I tell you before we left? Why are you still making mistakes?"

"Sis! Salvatore Group rightfully belongs to our family. Why should I back down?" Huxley protested.

"Huxley, listen to your sister first! Get into Salvatore Group and prove

yourself. If they still won't let you take over, your sister, Dad, and will come up with another plan for you." Mildred reasoned.

Winona cast a glance at Huxley, reprimanding him, "If you can't even hide your intentions, how will you ever succeed? Do you think you can improve Salvatore Group just with your arrogance?"
