Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 535

Manuela’s POV

We arrived home and I went to take a shower. When I returned to the living room, Olivia was finishing setting the table and Flavian was on the phone.

"How are you, Manu?" Olivia asked.

"Terrible, Olivia. How can she do these things to me?" I had tears in my eyes again.

"She's evil, Manu! Unfortunately, I need to tell you that," Olivia sighed. "Now dry those eyes, because your detective ordered that Chinese food you love for our lunch."

"Little one, did you take your medicine?" Flavian hugged me from behind and I nodded. "Your mother is already on her way home. But I still think you should report her."

"She's my mother, Flavian..." He hugged me and gave up with a resigned sigh.

"I've already informed Cam and your father, Manu. It seems your mother tricked the employee your father left to track her. She went to the local detective's wife's house, and then her car left and returned home. The employee followed your mother's car, thinking she was driving, and kept watching. But she came here in the detective's wife's car," Olivia explained.

"We'll need to be more careful," Flavian said, and I was certain something else was worrying him.

"She's never going to give up, is she, Olivia?" I looked at Olivia.

"There is a way to make her give up," Flavian took a deep breath and looked at me.

"And what would that be?" I was already expecting Flavian to try to convince me to report her, but I didn't think that would solve anything.

"Marry me. If you're already married, she can't force you to marry someone else, and then she'll have to give up." I looked at Flavian, not believing what he was saying.

"You're kidding, right?" I looked at him as if I couldn't believe what I'd heard.

"No, little one, I'm serious," he said, holding my hand. "We get married, and then she won't be able to do anything else."

"Flavian, this is absurd!" I protested.

"Why is it absurd, Manu? We're together, we already live together, I love you, you love me, we get married and that's it," Flavian spoke as if everything was very practical and obvious.

"I'm not going to get married just to prevent my mother from continuing to try to take me back home," I replied.

"Don't you love me, Manu?" He asked as if he'd been offended.

"I love you, Flavian, but I don't want you to feel obligated to marry me to protect me from my mother." It was so obvious that his idea was ridiculous. I felt a bit hurt by it.

I loved Flavian, nothing in the world would make me happier than being his wife, but not like this, not because he felt obligated. And especially not with a marriage proposal like that, as if it were some unimportant business deal. If I were ever to be proposed to, I expected it to be more romantic, more special, more everything.

"Damn it!" Flavian cursed. "I have to tell her, Olivia."

"Tell me what?" I looked at them both, confused. "By the way, Olivia, I love that you're here, but why are you here?"

"She came for work and we met by chance," Flavian explained, and I looked at her curiously.
