My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1332 Disdain

Chapter 1332 Disdain

He didn't actually think like that, nor did he have any intention of letting Mrs. King and Jillian see this scene. He just hoped to have a few words with her alone, because since dinner tonight, they hadn't had a decent conversation. She had put up a wall against him, not giving him any chance to get close.

Her rejection and refusal made Mario feel terrible, but he didn't want to make things more confrontational between him and Sienna. He just said coolly, "Sienna, do you have to say it like that? Am I really that selfish in your eyes?"

"Isn't it?" Sienna retorted, a mocking smile playing at her lips. She continued, "If not, then what are you doing right now?"

Sienna's indifferent tone left Mario at a loss for how to answer that question. Their eyes met, and their emotions were deep. Mario was speechless, his emotions becoming more apparent in his expression, but Sienna didn't care to guess how he was feeling at the moment. So she forcefully pulled away from him, then quickly walked ahead.

Sienna hurried to catch up with Mrs. King, keeping a distance of one or two meters from her and Jillian. Mrs. King was chatting with Jillian and seemed not to notice that Sienna and Mario were lagging behind. When they arrived at the parking lot, Mario arrived late. His face was very gloomy, and his deep eyes became particularly cold. But the more he behaved like this, the more Jillian seemed to like it. There was a hint of love in her eyes.

Mrs. King was naturally very pleased, as she had always wanted to find a girl who adored Mario and came from a good family. Jillian was now the best candidate, so she wanted to make it happen. She took the initiative and said, "Shenxing, you and Jillian take one car, and I'll go with Sienna in another. This way, I can chat with Sienna about her wedding."

After Mrs. King finished speaking, Mario remained silent with a grim expression, leaving Jillian slightly stunned. All of a sudden, Sienna spoke up, "Alright, Mom, let's get in the car!"

As long as she spoke quickly, Mario had no way of refusing.

Seeing this, Mrs. King nodded in satisfaction and followed Sienna into the car.

Sienna drove off first, leaving the parking lot. They headed towards the hotel where Mrs. King lived. Mrs. King took the opportunity to ask, "Were you two talking about something back there?" Sienna didn't hide it and replied, "Yes, he complained a bit."

Mrs. King's expression turned serious as she said, "Sienna, I really hope he can settle down with Jillian. In Flento City, and even in the entire circle of the elite, a man of Shenxing's status and age would have already been married or engaged. It's not appropriate for him to still be single."

Mrs. King was very worried about this matter. Once Mario's marriage was settled, her worried heart would finally be at ease.

Sienna furrowed her brows slightly and agreed with Mrs. King, saying, "Yes, you're right. I also think Jillian is a good match for him. I believe they will develop feelings over time. Shenxing will need quite some time to deal with the project here, and staying in a hotel every day is not very convenient. I think it would be better to buy a home where he can stay comfortably. Jillian came to Hance City for a visit, so she could also stay at the house. That way, they would have more time to spend together."

Sienna earnestly made suggestions to Mrs. King. The more time they spent together, the harder it would be for them not to develop feelings for each other. Especially since Jillian was very attractive, it was likely she would take the initiative, making it difficult for Mario to refuse.

Mrs. King agreed with Sienna's suggestion and said, "I think that's a good idea. I'll talk to him about it later."

Sienna nodded in agreement but reminded Mrs. King, "Mom, when you bring up this suggestion to Shenxing, it's best not to mention that it was my idea. Say it's your personal opinion."

Understanding her concerns, Mrs. King nodded and agreed to keep it a secret.

Mrs. King and Sienna arrived at the hotel first but did not rush in. They stood at the entrance, waiting for Mario and Jillian.

Since Mrs. King and Sienna had gotten in the car first, Mario and Jillian stood in place for several minutes without any interaction between them. The atmosphere was very quiet, almost like they could hear each other's heartbeat.

Jillian glanced at Mario several times but ultimately failed to catch his attention. She noticed that Mario seemed aloof, emitting a chilly aura that made people hesitant to approach.

Seeing this side of Mario, Jillian felt uncertain, but eventually mustered the courage to speak. She looked at Mario and asked, "Mr. King, can we leave now?"

Jillian's voice was very gentle, but her expression carried a hint of indifference. Mario responded after a moment and then they got into the car, with Jillian in the passenger seat and Mario in the driver's seat. As the car started, the atmosphere remained quiet. Jillian spoke again, "Mr. King, do you have any objections towards me?"

Mario gave her a disdainful glance and replied, "You're overthinking."

Jillian smiled satisfactorily and said, "I'm glad if you have no objections. If you do, feel free to say so. I don't want to pretend everything is okay when there are underlying issues."

Jillian was very direct, no longer displaying the obedient demeanor she had in front of Mrs. King.

Mario was not surprised by this change and coolly commented, "Miss Han doesn't plan to continue acting?"

Jillian was taken aback, not expecting Mario to see through her. After a moment, she smiled faintly and said, "Mr. King, you didn't exactly hide your affection for your sister from me either, did you?" The mention of his sister made Mario's gaze turn dark and unpleasant.

However, Jillian didn't stop there. She looked at Mario and continued, "Mr. King, I do like you, but I won't allow my man to have lingering feelings for someone else. So rest assured, I won't cling to you, nor will engage or date you at this time."

Jillian bluntly expressed her thoughts. She had no intention of being subtle or hiding her feelings. Liking a capable man was not a fault, and she saw no need to deny it. She even believed her taste was quite good.

As for Mario, she had no intention of letting him slip away. She felt that if she could enter his heart, it would be a lifelong accomplishment.

While Jillian silently thought this, Mario remained silent. Perhaps he was too disdainful to bother with her, as there was no change in his expression. He continued driving, his face exuding an icy aura that seemed to freeze everything around him.

Even outsiders could see through his thoughts. Could Mrs. King not see? Could Sienna not see it?
